Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Classic album from a country music queen, before the genre went to shit.

They don’t make em like this anymore

Classic country from one of its greatest singers.

There's so much warmth in her voice. Great record. Easy listening

nao sei se gostei muito nao. Mas laura apsrenrmeenr 3gostou

2nd track is my fav

This was great

Such a killer country record. Shes a total legend. Band is incredible, drums are super groovy and guitars sound great.

What an icon! Favorite was Get Whatcha Got and Go

Loved this album it just was so badass I can’t explain it. 10/10

I loved this album! What a beautiful voice. I love that this album is so typical of the times, lyrically and the sound. Its so catchy and I knew some of the songs I used to listen to old country music like this with my grandparents growing up. There's something quite comforting when I hear these old songs! 5 ⭐️

Not quite Fist City, but not far off.

The Shoe Goes on the Other Foot Tonight is an absolute banger of a burn song - but then almost everything else on this is album is a banger in ways that I was not prepared to appreciate. 4.5 stars rounding up.

I’ve heard Loretta before, probably this exact album, but I never really listened until now. And there is a lot going on beneath that classic country polish. Let’s start with the obvious. The title track is iconic for a reason. It’s bold, pissed off, and refreshingly direct. She’s not asking. She’s telling. If your man comes home drunk and expects affection, this is the anthem for slamming the bedroom door in his face. The steel guitar punches the message home with a perfect twang. But the deeper cuts are what really got me. “I Don’t Really Want to Know” stopped me cold. Her voice is haunting here. Soft, aching, and precise. There’s a little vocal trill at the end that just kills. It’s not showy, just real. Same goes for “Tomorrow Never Comes,” which manages to be beautiful and gutting without any vocal theatrics. That lilt in her delivery feels like the sound of hope deflating in real time. And then there’s “Get What ‘Cha Got and Go.” It’s under two minutes, but it comes out swinging. No wasted breath, no emotional hemming and hawing. Just pack your stuff and get out. It’s fabulous. Musically, it’s old-school Nashville. Clean arrangements, no clutter, with plenty of steel guitar (which I love) tucked in all the right corners. It’s twangy without being hokey, traditional without feeling dead. The melodies are catchy but don’t overshadow the message, which, in Loretta’s case, is usually some variation of “I’ve had enough of your bullshit.” Final track? “I Got Caught.” Not exactly a grand finale, but it fits. It’s matter-of-fact, slyly humorous, and leaves you with a smirk instead of a tear. I get now why this one is on the list. It’s not just historically important. It’s emotionally sharp, sneakily complex, and a little dangerous if you’re not paying attention.

Typical Country theme of women fighting for their men, who, ruined with drink, treat them ill. Great voice.

Sassy and perfect

Loretta is a country icon for a reason and this album shows that in spades. Folks calling her a Dolly knock-off don’t know their music history.

Now this isn't an all the time mood for me but when the mood for something like this hits, it's perfect. I've never gotten as far back in my country listening as Loretta Lynn but I see why she's a star I've always heard of as influential. Beautiful voice and straight forward down to earth real lyrics.

Like the feminist take on this album. She's a queen.

Really dig this one, even if she looks like a school librarian on the cover. No real fat, a solid old school country sound that I dig.

Absolute gold. “Don’t Come Home A Drinking” is a country classic for a reason, but this record is extremely strong top to bottom. The vocals are remarkable, and the songwriting clever. Other highlights are “Saint to Sinner” and “Get Whatcha Got and Go”.

Loretta is my jam, what can I say

Toxic relationship concept album based on her own life. So basically it's classic old country. I enjoyed this album lyrically and of course the vocals are great.

1. Don't come home a-drinkin' 2. The devil gets his due 3. I really don't want to know Banger! Er en sucker for 60s country. Fett at hun og søsteren, som selvfølgelig heter Peggy Sue, skrev tittel-låten. Skal definitivt se biografien 'coal miners daughter' fra 1980.

Oh, Loretta! Loved the album and the honesty, found it quite punk. But I do agree with the one review that says - girl, leave him.

Loved the audience participation in particular

I fucking love Loretta Lynn

In addition to her great songwriting and singing, she is backed by a great band here. This is a perfect country album.

sad country songs about crummy dudes hell yeah! When I think heartbreak country music this is pretty much what I mean. Loretta nails it, now to drown my sorrows in a small town bar.

yes

Albums don't get much more perfect than this. And don't fuck with Loretta.

Great great album. Really showcases for talent the best I think.

Music from this era just can't do no wrong to me. So classic, romantic, comforting. This is an album full of songs I recognize and love but never knew who the artist was. Probably going to play it on repeat this weekend.

Love this album. Loretta the GOAT

All timer, no skips, perfect combination of her unbeatable vocals with a buncha guys singing backup like they know what they did wrong

No notes Loretta Lynn is a boss

Very comforting.

Pure God given talent. Pure American music.

5

Doesn't get much more classic country than this, and it's well worth a perfect score.

I had heard songs by her before but never albums. As an album she is kind of a bad a$$. For the time frame and the country conservative world, go Loretta telling your man to leave you alone when he comes home drunk! Or being all scandalous and doing the things a man does in I Got Caught! I need to investigate the wonderful world of Loretta Lynn further, you go girl with your beautiful voice and awesome lyrics!

9/10

I know of Loretta Lynn, but I'm completely unfamiliar with her music. First things first: this album title. 10/10, no notes. Post 9/11 country could never do this. The bar has been set pretty high. The star of the show on this album is the songwriting. From the title track to the bitter end, this album is filled with clever and succinct lyrics. I loved the subtlety contained in these lyrics. Take the title track, for example. Lynn tells her lover not to expect her to reciprocate his advances after he's left her alone all night to go out drinking with his friends. She never states her emotions, she only laments his actions and that he leaves her all alone. But we can tell through her singing just how unwanted and used she feels. Through so few words, Lynn manages to paint a vivid picture of this interaction. "I Really Don't Want To Know" is outstanding as well. I loved that I wasn't sure whether she was wondering about her lover's past flings, or if she was wondering about the women he's been seeing behind her back in the present. Or maybe both. The things left unsaid are powerful, and Lynn's voice really adds to the heartache. The last song I'll mention is "The Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight." I love how it's vindictive without being angry; the emotion that led to the vengeful action of the narrator isn't what's important, and it doesn't even need to be stated, because it would be redundant. This song is all about actions, and Lynn sings it to perfection. This isn't the type of album I'd normally gravitate towards, but the songwriting is outstanding, and it's just an incredibly well made album, worthy of five stars.

incredible, that old country is timeless and a never skip

Every somg is a bop

People will be quick to shoot this album down just because it's "country", but this stuff is absolutely great. Loretta Lynn has a great voice and the instruments all hit. Put this on the jukebox in your local dive bar and get to foot tappin. Love the vibes.

This whole record is great. Loretta Lynn’s voice is perfect for these tunes. Her band is cracking. With a 28 minute runtime you can’t go wrong.

The quintessential breakup album by the queen of country. This is everything.

PERFECTION

Straight from Butcher's holler!!

Phenomenal lyrics and vocal performance. The classic country accompaniments are not my preferred jam, but are very listenable nonetheless, and don't get in Loretta's way.

Nice

Love old country music! Great artist and sound!

Very nice

New Artist for me. Great album. Relatively new to older country, solid entry album. Will explore more

Absolutely cutting lyrics, especially for 1967

This goes crazy

LOVE

Leave him it ain’t worth it

Two-thirds of the way through this project and there hasn't been a single album by Tammy Wynette or Patsy Cline or even Dolly Parton. Where have all the classic country queens been? So hooray for Loretta Lynn finally making the list! These were heartfelt songs giving a needed voice to so many women's emotions (my wife said "amen!" when I told her the title). This had never been the sort of music I listened to much before, but I want to hear more.

Sometimes these classic country tunes are a bit sleepy to me, and last night when I started the album, that is exactly what it did to me...made me sleepy. I wasn't complaining, but it wasn't really making me all that excited. Then this morning when I started where I left off, it was awesome and catchy and classic. Once I finished, I started it again, and loved it.

Wonderful. I wish it was twice as long.

Ten or so years ago I was working on a playlist for an anniversary party where classic country was the primary fare. That’s when I discovered this album with its 60’s feminist streak I immediately loved. Absolutely fantastic classic country with those classic themes delivered by that incredible Loretta Lynn voice!

Oh My lord. These grand old american vibes, i cant help it, i just loved!

Yee haw!

This list has really cemented for me how absolutely in the pocket I am for 60s country/western music in general, but specifically 60s country/western music from powerful women who hate their drunk husbands.

Shocked at how low some of the play counts are on this album. Classic old-timeycountry here!

I had a pretty good feeling I was going to like this based on the fact I knew it was country, and I knew people hated this album. I was correct. This album's message is basically "My man is a POS but so am I." Respect.

Gotta love Loretta Lynn

A beautifully crafted, classic country album. Lynn puts mistreated southern women and their difficult relationship with their men front and centre and in turn makes this a reclamation of their dignity and pride. My growing love for this music is an unexpected and welcome consequence of this brilliant listening project.

Love

anti-drink propaganda D:<

What a battle-axe.

I'm guessing this was another "not-random" album just like The Queen is Dead due to Loretta Lynn dying yesterday. Regardless, I appreciate it because Loretta has a great voice and made pretty progressive music for the 1960s country scene. The title track was great and all of the other songs were super fun. It's one of those albums where you can't go wrong with any of the songs and it's just a straight up fun album.

J’imagine que les paroles que chante Loretta Lynn ont été considérées comme « simplistes » et de peu d’intérêt. Or elle traite de travail émotionnel, de charge mentale aussi bien qu’on le ferait aujourd’hui. C’est une personne qui parle vrai. Les mélodies sont accrocheuses, la voix agréable. Une belle découverte pour moi

Outstanding and iconic country album. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

legalzinho

Loretta Lynn is an absolute treasure. Excellent album

yaaaasss LAWD YEAAASSSSSSSSSS

Love don’t come home a drinkin

Logged in, saw this was today’s album. And sighed. A 60s country album FFS? And yet… it reminded me so much of music my Nan used to listen to. I never heard of the singer before but her voice is strong and really soared to the high notes. Songs are short, and predictable in the chord changes. But overall it’s actually quite sweet. Music from a simpler time.

Great songs

Country's Taylor Swift. A beautiful voice on a very sad album. Enjoyed it. Sounds like Conway Twitty is a dick.

Loretta was a constant in my home growing up, for the short time my parents had a stereo set up. What a joy to listen to her now!

Liked this way more than I thought I would! I've never listened to much Honky Tonk but it's pretty nice. Interesting knowing all of the influences, especially the pseudo-Hawaiian, pacific island orientalist tropical type of sound. Plays really well of off Lynn's sometimes playful, sometimes sexy, all the time powerful voice. Interesting!

I liked this one. Fun lyrics, great pedal guitar vibes, funny lyrics and great delivery. Can only take it in measured doses though. Background - Hal Rugg's pedal steel work provides the essential melodic counter-punch to Loretta’s fiery, blunt vocals. Rather than just sitting in the background, the steel guitar acts like a second voice, mimicking a weeping, drunken sigh that perfectly matches the album's themes of marital discord and heartache. Rugg's incredible, instantly recognizable intro lick on the title track sets a flawless gold standard for traditional country music. His playing also deeply shines on the up-tempo track "The Devil Gets His Due" and the poignant ballad "I Can't Keep Away From You".The Produced by Owen Bradley at Bradley's Barn, the mix strips away the overly polished, pop-leaning "Nashville Sound" strings of the era to let the raw, piercing slide of the steel guitar drive the rhythm alongside traditional fiddles.

****a good , easy listening album

Nick Drake took one listen to this and said, “all right, woman, you got me beat.”

What a voice. Pretty stripped down country. Other reviews describe this as tear-in-your-beer country. Seems right.

Expectation: -> By name alone I'm expecting 3-4. After listening: -> For me, this is an easy listen on repeat. What a voice. I've just never taken the time to listen to her music. Glad this forced me to finally do so. Track ranking: Caught Drinkin Can't Keep Away Shoe Devil Everything Saint Tomorrow Really Don't Got and Go Plans Two Worlds

I surprisingly enjoyed this a lot. She has a great voice and I like the story telling - although lyrically very dated.

Actually enjoyed this quite a bit. I really like music like this and seemingly from this era. Would definitely have it on again, but won't come back to it. Something like a 3.5 score

The music, characteristic of its era, belies the fact that this is lyrically dark material of addiction, infertility, abuse. Really good! And a reminder to watch coal miners daughter.

Classic Country! This is why I joined this list. Education!

Litt country er ALDRI feil av en eller annen grunn! Veldig koselig musikk til dagen!

If country was still like this I would be a big fan.

Classic country kinda sad but added to mega shuffle

Ah, Loretta -- the depths of longing and lust you explore.

Classic country just has a charm to it

swinging

I will never not give the Nashville A team at least 4 stars.

I am such a sucker for older country like this. Man I really enjoyed this. The vocals, the performances, the simplicity of the songwriting. It really shines. 4/5

hell yeah!!!

I have always know the Coal Miner’s Daughter but I hadn’t listen to an album. That was my loss until now. She’s a bad ass! Musically, I intrigued that so many of her songs had a blues-based backing. There were some ol’ country western in there too, like Saint to Sinner. Considering it was 1960s country she said I think what a lot of women were thinking but no-one utter in good company. The discussion of elicit affairs—AND those of her partner in I Got Caught was a step back in awe. The Shoe Goes On was a sucker punch toward traditional Christian Southern Values. I can’t think of any other women who were talking about this in the 1960s, and she does so with such confidence. What I also found interesting is a modern producer could take her vocals and add an updated sound and these could still be relevant hits today. I was impressive.

Heerlijk country album

LET'S PRAY REAL QUICK Problematic Dolly Parton slaps ngl, gotta love angry 60s country!!

Love me some steel guitar. Great production and songs. All time country voice. Whatever happened to the 28 minute album?

Tykkäsin ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolute traditional country classic top to bottom. Not a wasted note. Loretta Lynn is not taking any shit. I love that.

I really liked Loretta Lynn’s album she did with Jack White in the 2000s so I’m partial to her voice. This is a perfectly serviceable, quality country album from the late 60s. It’s a 4, I think. I’m tempted to give it 3 because it’s not something I’d listen to all the time - just because of the genre - but if I ever need music to cry into my beer to, I know where it is.

Some good moral stories we could all learn from.

miss lynn is swinging a heavy musical frying pan

Something about country heartbreak just hits different. I genuinely enjoyed this, the cheatin' and the heartbreak

Super solid representation of a style of the Nashville Sound. While I like it I am wondering what about this album makes it a must hear over others from its time and genre. "I Really Don't Want To Know" put a smile on my face when I realized I first heard the song on Jason and the Scorchers' "Lost And Found" album, help me Warner!

Great set of old school country from a female perspective.

I really enjoy old country. And Loretta has an incredible voice, rich and strong. These songs are all very similar, but they're performed well. Love the lap steel. FOUR STARS

I'm familiar with a bunch of Loretta Lyn songs, but I don't think any of these songs are ringing a bell. These songs are mostly the "Sad Loretta" type songs, but I kind of prefer the "Fightin' Loretta" songs more. This isn't bad though.

it reminds me to 'lurleen Lumpkin' from the simpsons

Holy crap, just a non stop example of a toxic relationship, you two can't even stop cheating on each other (she got caught in the end)... But that's what makes good country music. I can't remember, did her truck break down? Welp! I can't believe I'm saying this... 4 stars?

I enjoyed the journey, big up Loretta, keep cheating.

Really enjoyed it. Kudos to Loretta's voice and the country guitar jangling sounds.

The way people on this website pathologically dislike country is wild to me…I love you Loretta Lynn

Oh man, this is the country music I like. Vintage sound, bluegrass feel, messy relationships, hillbilly nonsense. Give me that over whatever country music is popular today. 4/5

Completely plays into the trope of "Women in country only sing about men that wrong them" But that doesn't mean Loretta doesn't do it very very well

This is a problem. On one hand, you have Loretta Lynn's absolutely gorgeous voice; on the other, it's singing largely soupy, syrupy old-fashioned country. What to do, what to do?

Loretta Lynn was doing something genuinely radical here, and it’s worth saying plainly: a working class woman speaking directly and defiantly about the realities of her domestic life was not what Nashville was offering in 1967. The title track alone — essentially a woman drawing a clear line with her drunk husband — was controversial enough to get banned from some radio stations. That directness isn’t just historical context. It’s audible in every song. The limitation is that the record makes essentially one argument across its entire runtime. The thematic consistency that made it revolutionary is also what makes it feel same-samey as a full album listen. Every song is a variation on the same conversation with the same man about the same grievances, delivered within a fairly narrow range of tempos and arrangements. The mid-60s Nashville production is clean and tasteful, the pedal steel sits right where it should, but nothing here surprises you structurally once you’ve heard the first few tracks. Lynn’s voice carries it. It’s not conventionally beautiful, but it’s completely authentic — expressive, plain-spoken, and fully committed to the emotional truth of every lyric. That combination of conviction and courage is what pushes this into four-star territory despite the limited sonic range. Some records earn their place through variety and craft. This one earns it through nerve.

It would have been bad news to be her husband or boyfriend during the recording of this album. Just pure guy hate and I mean it in the “I know what you’re doing” sort of hate, not the smash your truck windows and murder you hate. That also makes this album less of a perfect album because the idea and song topics don’t really change at all. Other than that it’s good. Choice cut: Don’t Come Home A Drinkin

suddenly i'm a country girl 🤠

country that works out for me

3.5

Fun stuff

I fucked with this way more than I thought I would. Really female empowering "fuck men" rhetoric with funk and attitude, which I didn't expect from an album out in the 60s. I'd go back to this one.

How can you beat this? Loretta Lynn has such a deep canon it’s hard to know where to start. This is a great place.

Didn’t recognize a lot of the songs but it was very much Loretta. Don’t Come Home A Drinkin’ is worth the price of admission here.

ok loved this. kind of the queen of music for ladies who don’t like their husbands. this was more musically interesting than i expected too (not all the same tune like her christmas offerings)

I think a lot of modern country music still carries the negative influence of the slick Nashville Sound that took over in the 1960s. Loretta Lynn stood apart from that establishment and stayed true to her raw, authentic country style. She’s always been one of my favorite artists in the genre.

I’m not the biggest country listener, so excitement wasn't my initial reaction when I saw it. But once I pressed play, something changed - after the first song, I found myself getting more and more drawn into the songwriting. There’s a sweet melancholy that pairs perfectly with the band's warm backing. Thematically, it stays coherent, even if the latter part becomes slightly repetitive. Still, Loretta Lynn's excellent vocal performance more than makes up for it. The best songs are "I Really Don’t Want to Know", "Tomorrow Never Comes", and "I'm Living in Two Worlds".

A sharp, no-nonsense country record that feels direct and lived-in, built around strong storytelling and emotional clarity. The songs are concise but memorable, and the attitude carries real weight without excess polish. It’s not flashy, but the consistency and conviction make it land as a confident, high-quality listen.

A nice country/folk pop album that has some beautiful and simple arrangements. Her vocal talent is pretty great as well. Easy and pretty listen.

Okay, now this is pretty generic country music, but I guess its from the genre's classic era, so it does have some charm. However, Loretta Lynn's 'Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)' does have plenty of those country music clichés that don't really resonate with me: Southern drawl in the vocals, slide guitar etc. I do wonder if Loretta Lynn was a chief inspiration for Lurleen Lumpkin in The Simpsons...I mean, same initials, similar voice, similar subject matter...it wouldn't surprise me to be honest! 'Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)' is by-the-numbers country music essentially. There's nothing too surprising or unique in the material, most songs are about love, life and winning/losing, complete with country twang guitars and honky-tonk beats and mostly cover songs, as it's still the 1960s and singer-somgwriters weren't as commonplace by this point. It's a decent sounding record, but as its country music that doesn't talk about dark subject matter (outlaws, murder etc.), it's not really my thing. Mind you, Lynn co-wrote the title track and wrote the final song, 'I Got Caught', so you've got to give her credit where it's due. Also, I guess the title track is a great reminder for drunk men to not be pricks to women, so that deserves some credit too! Best songs: 'Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)', 'I Got Caught'

Love me some Loretta Lynn and this didn’t disappoint. I’ll be back to this. My first listen my favorite was “Saint To A Sinner”

Amazing record, this is the best ERA of country. Anything with spring reverb on it or plate reverb I'm here for it. Top Track: Making Plans

It is good. Fun and cheery country with a sinister dark undertone. I get why it is on the list and I enjoyed the listen. There goes my Everything and I'm living in two worlds are the standout tracks. I resonated a lot with this album. I gave it a second listen which was much more focused and upped my score from a 3 to a 4. 4 stars

Some sweet guitar licks in here.

What a voice. This was a good listen.

What a crazy album cover! I can't imagine writing an album and naming it "Husband, you're a piece of shit" and then having a picture like that taken for the cover.

Putain, je ne vais pas vous mentir, quand j'ai vu la pochette et le titre de cet album dans la liste du "Grand Livre", j'ai eu un réflexe de recul presque pavlovien. "Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)", sérieusement ? On dirait le titre d'une parodie du Saturday Night Live ou une caricature de redneck édenté jouant du banjo sur son perron. Moi qui me nourris quotidiennement de distorsions abyssales, de déflagrations industrielles ou de mélancolies urbaines, me voilà face à l'Amérique profonde, celle des champs de maïs, des pick-up trucks et des drapeaux étoilés. Je me suis dit : "Putain, ça va être trash...". Je m'attendais à une torture auditive, un truc dégoulinant de bons sentiments patriotiques ou de niaiserie sentimentale, le tout enrobé dans une sauce barbecue indigeste. Et puis, comme souvent avec ce foutu projet des 1001 albums, je me suis pris une claque. Pas une claque violente, non, plutôt une petite tapette sur la joue, genre "Eh, réveille-toi mon vieux, t'as des préjugés gros comme un camion". J'ai posé le diamant sur le vinyle (ou cliqué sur play, on ne va pas se la jouer puriste), et au final, j'ai été agréablement surpris. Voir très agréablement surpris. Dès les premières mesures, il y a un truc qui saute aux oreilles : la voix car il faut être honnête Loretta Lynn, ce n'est pas une chanteuse de karaoké de Nashville. Elle a une voix claire, puissante, une voix qui a vécu, une voix qui ne triche pas. C'est ce qu'on appelle le "terroir" dans le bon sens du terme. On sent la poussière, on sent la fatigue, mais on sent surtout une fierté inébranlable. Cet album sent bon la terre, l'authenticité, ici on est loin des productions aseptisées de la pop moderne ou même de la country-pop actuelle qui ressemble plus à du Céline Dion avec un chapeau de cow-boy. Là, c'est du brut, du vrai. Ce qui m'a frappé, c'est que cet album n'a pas pris une ride. Il est sorti en 1967, rendez-vous compte et pendant que les Beatles planaient sur "Sgt. Pepper" et que le Velvet Underground explorait les bas-fonds new-yorkais, Loretta Lynn, elle, réglait ses comptes avec le patriarcat dans les cuisines de l'Amérique rurale. Parce que oui, il faut parler des textes. Le morceau titre, "Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)", c'est du punk avant l'heure, c'est une déclaration d'indépendance. En gros, elle dit à son mec : "Si tu rentres bourré, ne pense même pas à me toucher", c'est d'une modernité folle pour l'époque. On parle souvent du féminisme des années 70, mais Loretta était déjà sur le front, armée de sa guitare acoustique et de son franc-parler légendaire. Elle ne chante pas les fleurs bleues, elle chante la réalité crue des femmes de la classe ouvrière, celles qui doivent gérer un mari qui claque sa paie au bistro et qui revient la queue à l'air en espérant un câlin. Et elle, elle dit non. Putain, c'est fort. Musicalement, j'avais une grosse appréhension. Car je déteste le "crin-crin", ce violon country, ce truc plaintif et aigu qui vrille les tympans, c'est habituellement rédhibitoire pour moi. C'est souvent ce qui me fait fuir ce genre musical, mais ici, miracle ! Les arrangements sont d'une finesse absolue. Le violon est là, certes, on ne peut pas faire de la country sans fiddle, mais il est suffisamment en retrait pour ne pas bouffer tout l'espace. Il souligne, il accompagne, mais il n'agresse pas. Il laisse la place à la guitare, à la rythmique et surtout à cette voix incroyable. La production d'Owen Bradley (le mec derrière les grands succès de Patsy Cline) est aux petits oignons. C'est propre, c'est carré, ça sert la chanson sans en faire des caisses. Il y a une forme d'intemporalité dans cet album. C'est la preuve que la "bonne" country (et je précise bien la BONNE, pas la soupe commerciale) traverse les âges sans encombre. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'elle touche à des émotions universelles. La tristesse, la colère, la résignation, l'amour vache. Que l'on soit un gothique dépressif fan de Nick Cave ou un amateur de post-rock instrumental, on ne peut pas rester insensible à une telle sincérité. Quand Loretta chante, on la croit. On sait qu'elle a grandi dans une cabane, qu'elle est une "Coal Miner's Daughter" (fille de mineur), et qu'elle n'a pas appris la vie dans les livres mais à la dure. J'ai passé un moment vraiment plaisant avec ce disque. C'est court (à peine 30 minutes), ça va droit au but, pas de solos interminables ou de digressions psychédéliques inutiles. C'est efficace et chaque morceau est une petite histoire, une vignette de vie. On passe de la revendication féministe à la ballade plus traditionnelle sans jamais s'ennuyer. C'est marrant, en l'écoutant, je repensais à mes années chez le disquaire dans les années 90. Si un client m'avait demandé cet album à l'époque, je l'aurais probablement regardé de travers en lui tendant le dernier Mogwai ou le Godspeed You! Black Emperor et j'aurais eu tort. Le "Moi" de 25 ans était un petit con élitiste. Le "Moi" de 50 ans et des poussières réalise qu'il est passé à côté de quelque chose. Il y a une parenté étrange entre la noirceur de certains textes de country et la noirceur de l'indus ou du post-punk. C'est la même misère humaine qui est dépeinte, juste avec des instruments différents. Johnny Cash l'avait compris en reprenant Nine Inch Nails. Loretta Lynn, c'est un peu la même trempe. Une main de fer dans un gant de velours. Alors non, je ne vais pas revendre toute ma collection de Current 93 pour m'acheter des santiags et un chapeau de cow-boy (faut pas déconner non plus), mais cet album va rester pas loin de ma platine. C'est le genre de disque parfait pour un dimanche matin, ou pour une soirée où l'on a envie de quelque chose de simple, d'humain, de direct. Au final, je lui mets un beau 4 sur 5. C'est une note honnête pour un album qui a réussi l'exploit de me faire oublier mes préjugés et de me faire taper du pied (discrètement). Je le réécouterai avec plaisir, et c'est peut-être ça, la plus grande surprise de toute cette affaire. Comme quoi, on peut avoir usé ses fonds de culotte sur les bancs de la cold-wave et finir par apprécier une bonne vieille chanson de honky-tonk. La vie est pleine de surprises, et la musique aussi. Merci Loretta.

Short and sweet, palpable emotion and the music makes you tap your toes. Really enjoyed this.

Gosh I love sad cowboy music. Cowgirl in this case!

girl

Prachtig! Kende d'r onbewust al van een duet met Conway Twitty, maar dit americana country album luistert zo lekker weg.

I liked it a lot. Can’t believe I’d never heard this album before

Back when country was fun. Great album.

What country music really should be. 8/10

Listened to this before I started the whole 1001 albums.

Enjoyable country album. Loretta certainly is unlucky with men. If you like this Coal Miners Daughter and Van Lear Rose arebetter

I don't know what it is but goddamn it woman do country so much better. 4/5

Classic country can do no wrong in my book. It always sounds nice, and I love the simple relatability of the lyrics. This album in particular is also super short and ends before you can start to tire of the similarity of the songs.

Lovely. 4 *

Familiar with title track but not the entire album. Solid 60s Nashville A Team country with a dose of added feminism.

Really loved this album. I had listened to her music before, but most of this album was new to me. I like a bunch of the songs. Definitely some were stronger than others. Overall such an amazing and influential country sound and record. Top Songs: Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’, I Really Don’t Want to Know, I Can’t Keep Away From You

Nothing new and extraordianry, but nice oldschool honest country with great voice

I'm not always in the mood for this, but this album hit just right today.

This is exactly the kind of album I was hoping to be forced to listen to! Probably not something I would’ve sought out on my own but I really liked it.

Really really enjoyed. Listened to twice and will revisit

Coalminer's Daughter is my all-time, #1 favorite movie, but I've never thought of Loretta Lynn as an album artist (except for Van Lear Rose, I guess), so this was fun to digest in that way. Her golden voice is undeniable, the crack Nashville session musicians are locked and loaded throughout, and her subject matter is hilariously frank and emotionally honest. The queen!!!

Loretta Lynn is a country music singer. 4

Could have used a little variation in the song themes but great voice and great songs.

This was great!

I saw this album and wasn't expecting to enjoy it this much. My expectations were fast exceeded. I needed to go for a drive because I'm a human who drives places when I need to. I certainly wasn't expecting the first snow of the season, but that's what I got. I'm the kind of person who celebrates Christmas, but only the week of. I refuse to listen to Christmas music until about December 20th. This album set a similar tone to familiar Christmas music, nostalgic of snowy drives as a child. Musically, this album isn't that interesting, but it's fine for a country album of its age.

Very country, but good vibes

Country not my thing

hyper chill j’ai beaucoup aimé

This is a good, solid classic country album. Nothing absolutely blows my socks off, but they are great songs, done well, by a pioneer in the genre, especially for women.

For those who love old time REAL country not the crap you hear today.

This was awesome. Similar vibe to Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs, but without the cowboy angle. I love the singer's voice, and the pedal steel guitar sound. And it's a nice snappy album too

Not bad! She's got a great voice.

I enjoyed that more than I thought

Happiest marriage in 1960s Tennessee:

Classic country. Short and to the point. Great voice. Surprising 4.

I enjoyed this

I think that this album was really good, my favorite era of country music, but I think it’s hampered by the constraints of its time, especially the over reliance on covers. What is missing in originality is made up for by her performance and unique voice. She clearly has the best version of the song shoes on the other foot, her opening track is written by her and her performance is reflective of this. Hope there is more Loretta Lynn on this list as Fist City and Coal Miners Daughter are both great albums. Really a 3.5/5 stars, but we’ll round up

Emblematic of 60s country music

Good classic country music with bad classic womens roles

No wonder her voice sounded familiar, I’ve actually heard one of her songs in GTA: San Andreas. Overall, I enjoyed the album, great for drinking coffee on a cold, foggy morning. Just don't dwell too much on the lyrics, you will feel bad for her.

Little bit jazzy, little but country, giving Fallout vibes. Honestly enjoyed this. Only 28 mins so a nice easy chill listen.

I was very close to removing a star cause iris demint is better But whatever

4/5, it was really good

I thought that the less upbeat more melodic songs such as I’m living in two worlds and”Saint to a sinner ” were very beautiful and hypotonic. While the more upbeat stuff like the title track was not bad but not nearly as good. Favorite tracks Saint to A Sinner There goes my everything I’m living in two worlds making plans least favorite Get what ‘cha got and go 7.4 / 10

Everything one wants from classic country – crystalline vocals, seamless and understated playing (every note in place), rich and specific vignette-songs with clear morals and dripping with the authenticity of Good Country People. Seems worth noting (via Ken Burns) that this came out the same year the National Organization for Women was founded and the term "women's liberation" was coined. Maybe this is a greater (and more durable) testament to those principles. It may seem modest in its ambitions, but the impact is powerful indeed (and still hits significantly today) and the execution pretty close to perfect.

This was actually a lot of fun. I enjoyed this.

Hell yeah

Early country can’t get more country.

Terrific vocalist as demonstrated on ‘I really don’t want to know’. The other thing I like about this, and a lot of C&W of the time is the great backing musicians that Nashville used in the 50s and 60s before it all got watered down in the70s. No wonder they had their punk period with the Outlaws

One of the greatest country singers of all time. She really belts them out on this album.

This album screams 60s Americana to me. I’ll admit I do my best to distance myself from country as much as possible but I enjoyed this album a lot. The major miss for me was how depressing the themes/lyrics were, and how repetitive it got.

actually bangers

Classic Country.

Album 907 of 1089 Loretta Lynn -Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) (1967) Rating : 3.5 / 5 I’m not the biggest fan of country, but if I had to choose an era, this older style is probably where I’d land. Songs of love, cheating, drinking, sadness, and despair — the themes many folks think of when they think “country music” - and Loretta delivers them with conviction. Good in light doses, and she does it well here. I was surprised to see this was her 9th release; it has the feel of something earlier in her career. She’s a hometown girl, so I naturally have some good feelings about her music anyway. Fans often point to the title track as a landmark moment - one of the first times a woman in country music spoke so bluntly about marriage, drinking, and double standards. That kind of honesty is part of why this album connected then, and why people still look back on it now.

She’s has some real sass. I love i!. This album was a lot of fun to listen to. I’m sure she has inspired many women to believe in themselves and beware of certain men.

3/4

4 stars- lots of cheating going down on this album LOL

Fantastic voice and songs from one of the all time greats. Though the songs get a bit samey, when they're this good, it doesn't matter. Great backing band as well.

Loretta Lynn is a true queen of country music. That voice with the pedal steel is simply stunning. Also to be recording some of these songs about double standards and how shit life was for women was quietly subversive. The devil Gets his due is an absolute tune, almost punk in spirit

Pretty chill, I liked it a lot

Simpsons did it better

A country classic. The title track is killer, but the entire record is fantastic.

I liked this album but if it's the only Loretta Lynn album on this list, the author seriously fucked up by omitting Coal Miner's Daughter. That album is easily the best of hers and I am once again doubting the integrity of this list outside of boring, obscure brit pop from every era.

If this came out today, you’d have people howling about “when did country go woke?” - which is hilarious, because country, real outlaw country - Cash, Kristofferson, and the rest - was always about grit, freedom, and pushing back against the rules. Loretta planted her flag right in that tradition, making it crystal clear she wasn’t someone to mess with. What really makes this album matter is the context: in 1967, Loretta became the first woman in country music to have a gold record. At a time when Nashville wanted women to be soft-spoken and demure, she was putting out songs that told cheating husbands to get their act together or get lost. It was revolutionary! Country’s first real shot across the bow for women saying, “we’re not just background singers, we’ve got our own stories to tell.” Yeah, the album can feel a little “one note,” but that’s more about the constraints of its era than any lack of talent. Taken on its own terms, it’s classic country - tough, plainspoken, and dripping with conviction. Not necessarily my go-to, but it’s a damn strong record that carved out a space for women in country, and it still resonates today.

Perfect performances and production. It’s very intimate in parts not just because of Lynn’s singing but how alive the players sound. At one point the vocal mic overdrives because of her power. The pedal steel and guitar solos overlap and at first the levels are slightly off. Still, the songs are all about the same topic which makes Lynn come across very one dimensional. All in all a record of huge historic import.

I see why country purists praise Loretta. She’s got such an amazing voice and control over each song. Not necessarily my vibe, but I respect the hell out of it.

Not into country and I’m sure there are better albums, but this was pleasing to listen to

top tier breakup album

Man I love this country crap 🚬

really striking artwork and I love the name of this album... shes such a queen for that... and is she wrong? no.

Really good does what country does best. Story telling

The title track is one of the greatest country songs ever, of course. But there are so many smart covers here, too, including Ernest Tubbs’s “Tomorrow Never Comes” and Johnny Russell’s “Making Plans” (later recorded to perfection by Porter and Dolly). Lynn’s voice is at its peak here, and her proto-feminist vibe is—happily enough—easy to perceive in the song selection. The 60s production values are, especially in a few places, regrettable. But overall this is a gem.

Hell yeah. Love me some Loretta Lynn

Oh, boy, is it country album time again? Of all genres on this list, country music albums are by far the easiest for me to review, 'coz, well, y'know — it's country music. I'm not gonna say it **all** sounds the same, since that ignores the more-than-likely subtle differences that **do** exist... But at the same time, if you like one 60's country album, you'll probably like them all — and I **am** rather fond of that 60's country sound. These tempos and rhythms, with these arrangements and the damn pedal steel... Yep, it's right up my alley alright. The version of me that's 70 and sitting out on the porch drinking a warm beer is all up ons this. But if there's anything about this album that makes it unique among country albums, it's Loretta Lynn herself. What a voice this woman has on her, goodness. It's subtle when it wants to be, powerful as hell other times, but never too over-powering... It's great stuff, and obvious to me why Loretta Lynn is one of the greats (and one of the few greats who's a woman, at that). And if there's anything else to talk about, I guess it's the recurring lyrical themes and subject matter of the album. A fellow member of my group called it out for how there's a lot of overlap between songs, plus a streak of hypocrisy that's exemplified by "I Got Caught". And, y'know, he's not wrong about that, of course. But I'll tell you, for my tastes it doesn't bother me all that much because, well, like... Y'know, it's old country music. As I've long thought of it, it's "cheatin' and drinkin' songs" (and I suppose "train and also 'shot a man in Reno just to watch him die'-in' songs," too). That, like the instrumentation, is just what I've come to expect from this genre at this time, and, personally, I'm not gonna knock the album for that. So, yeah. Loretta Lynn has a great voice, but otherwise, yeah, it's a 60's country album pretty much exactly as I expect one to be. If you're someone who absolutely isn't into this sound, I completely get that, though this thing **is** also only, like, 28 minutes, so it ain't like you'd be losing much givin' this a listen anyway.

Simple country with a beautiful voice is a damn good combo. 4.5 bumped down to 4.

I’m at a 4. That sure is 1960s country music; as far as listening to it goes, no real complaints other than a lack of variety in the instrumentation, though the composition of each track more than makes up for it. Her voice is great, especially on her held notes, and she glides on the instrumentals really nicely. If we were going just on the vibes, I might be compelled to go up to a 5, though it would be a rather hard sell. All of that said, I think it’s the subject matter (NOT the lyricism, because each track is written really well) of each track that’s holding this album down for me. I thought Loretta Lynn would be a little more concrete in her opinions about relationships (or at least, be able to keep more stable ones than she portrays throughout this album), but I guess she’s more inconsistent than that. I dunno, it’s a minor thing, but it’s just kind of bugging me. The title track is great – it’s authoritative, and it’s her putting her foot down about her man’s drinking. Fine enough to turn it around on “The Shoe Goes On the Other Foot Tonight”, but that doesn’t fully absolve you of being met with the same criticism. That’s addressed well enough on “Saint To A Sinner” though, and it’s got a good empathic tone to it. To my brain though, that gets washed away by the closing track, “I Got Caught” – how are you gonna try to justify being a cheater by going “oh, well, YOU do it too, I just got caught doing it”? It feels like gaslighting, and none of it lines up with some of the earlier stuff in the album. Yes, this is not a concept album, and yes, none of these tracks are actually connected, but between a growing sense of hypocrisy in the subject matter for a number of these tracks, combined with the amount of “woe is me, my man is leaving me” stuff on the album, I just feel like the vision for this album got lost somewhere between creating all of these songs & then actually deciding what should go on the album in a coherent way. Individually, all 12 of these are good to great tracks (with “The Devil Gets His Due” as the other major highlight aside from the title track), but as a whole album, it just kind of grinds a little bit, even though it’s only 28 minutes long. Ultimately, the similar instrumentation throughout, overlapping subject matter, hypocritical tone at times, and just a lack of cohesion is what’s keeping this at a 4 for me. I’m not that grumpy about all of those things though, and I am a sucker for old country music like this regardless, so maybe on another pass or two, it could go up to a 5 for me. It’s still a fine album, and Loretta Lynn’s vocals are the shining part of the entire thing. For now though, just a 4.

Simple country songs with great vocals. I enjoyed every track. Not very 1967 though!

Actually didn't mind it despite it being country

A great voice and a good collection of songs, sympathetically arranged without the syrupy strings that, for me, spoil a lot of mainstream country music from the era.

Wow they don’t make them like Loretta Lynn anymore. Beautiful voice, the songs are well written, and I enjoyed every minute. I miss country music like this. But also… girl leave him.

Pleasant sound, a little focussed on how her husband is bad though

If you love country, this is top tier. If you don’t love country, this is top tier. She’s a legend. Excellent record.

Very nostalgic for me. 4/5

I like real country music, and this is that, for sure.

Lite Dolly Parton-vibes, mysigt!

I absolutely adore this era of country music. They were still figuring out the genre and you get all kinds of cool cross-pollination from other early American music forms (gospel, western swing, early pop). It's just so dreamy and nostalgic (if you can be nostalgic for a period of time that predates you by nearly half a century). I can't quite put my finger on why, but I've just always loved it. Loretta did have some …questionable… political views toward the end of her life, but I'm inclined to give a little slack to someone in their late 80's who grew up in the hills of Kentucky as a literal coal miner's daughter. I'm glad she got to live to a grand old age, and I hope she's resting in peace. 4/5 Highlights: I Really Don't Want To Know I'm Living In Two Worlds I Got Caught

feels like the og “fuck men” album- like sabrina carpenter is a modern day pop version of loretta lynn.

had every intention of hating this but damn you Loretta Lynn, you made me thoroughly enjoy this

Ms Lynn did a bang up job on this one. Real good old fashioned country music.

Feisty.

I just love Loretta’s voice always. Great album.

Only vaguely knew the title track before listening. Fav tracks are Saint to sinner and the title track. I like the gender role reversal on these songs: You're bad, I'm bad, everybody take their lumps. Her voice sounds great. Steel guitar! Sun is going down, drop the needle and pass the whiskey.

I was pleasantly surprised by this one

This is some solid classic country.

This was pure old school country.

I prefer the edgier opener to some of the more straightforward songs but this was a great album throughout.

First song is the only one that really stands out, but overall it's a very good album with great vocals.

Never judge a book by its cover. Mostly. But the more rhinestones, cowboy boots, stetsons, horses, pickup trucks and bootlace ties on a country star the less interesting they'll be musically. Here Loretta has only a frumpy housecoat and a forced smile - and a pretty all-killer country album with a fantastic voice (Living in Two Worlds for the voice and the phrasing in 'dividing where she finds an extra syllable and 'saaaame').

Her voice is beautiful and I loved how edgy the lyrics were for a 1967 country album.

I'd never listened to Loretta till she came out with that comeback album produced by Jack White in the 2000s. But man, what an amazing artist.

Day491 - this is the country music that appeals to me. silly, pun-y lyrics with great talent in the whole band from loretta to the jordanaires

A great collection of songs. But another example of the tragedy of the Nashville Machine's insistence on a slavish adherence to THE formula. Loretta needed a Honky Tonk band; loose and shambolic around the edges. She was never going to compete with Patsy as a pop crossover. But that was the formula. At least they didn't give her strings.

"Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" is the ninth solo studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. The album contains her own written songs and well known country tunes. The album reached #1 on the US Country Charts and #80 on the US Billboard Top LP's Chart. The self-tilted "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" opens the album. Country-guitar driven. Loretta's strong vocals in a song she wrote based on her personal life with a self-explanatory title. Nice backing vocals. She covers Dallas Frazier's "There Goes My Everything." Lovely guitar and fiddle. Soft drums and it's a waltz. Loretta brings out her forceful vocals in "The Devil Gets His Dues." A nice percussion/drum beat. A piano and guitar solo. OK, my head is a bopping. The album closes with the Loretta-penned "I Got Caught." Layered country and steel pedal guitars. She got caught a cheatin' but he's the pro. Go tell him, Loretta! These 12 songs fly by in 28 minutes. It's easy listening, enjoyable. I liked the different lead instruments (guitar, piano, fiddle), so nice production. Loretta has a great, sultry voice and the best songs are the ones she wrote. It does take you back to a time and place but no complaints by me. A definite recommendation.

Old country is so underrated and this album is awesome. Easy 4 stars. Mellow, classic, and like so many other old country albums, perfect for imagining oneself at some bar in a bygone era after being heartbroken. I can smell the ashtrays and see the Malboro Red neon light signs from here. Add in wood panelling and only 2-3 other people at the bar listening to why your partner left you, and the scene is set. This would be a great vinyl purchase. Also note, Coal Miners Daughter is another classic.

No bangers, but plenty of good’ns.

Fun album, seems like good background music.

If you don't love Loretta Lynn, I'll fight your sorry ass.

She’s got the right touch

Was in de mood

Somewhere between Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and thematically similar to the Louvin Brothers, though not as grim and definitely more fun, this reminds me of my dad. I knew the title track and 'Making Plans' but not sure how. A solid classic country album even if I don't necessarily care for some of her vocal flourishes. On the surface, I like the sense that she was ready and willing to challenge the status quo.

Loretta tells it like it is in a series of Country staples that have you really buying into her stories and struggles.

Don't Go A Spinnin' This Record (Without Tissues in Your Hand)

I like this country sound a whole gosh darn lot. Some of the songs aren't all that good as songs, doesn't matter. In my grandma's small town generation half the husbands pissed away the money at the bar with a working wife and bunch of kids at home. I didn't need to have personally experienced the content of Illmatic, either, you know? Hard not to think about the late-life politics. If you want that kind of love, well, you don't need none of mine. ..but four stars. music: appreciated. (⌐□_□)

This could be three times longer and I wouldn’t have noticed. In a good way! Song after song of high quality sad country. Nice guitars, excellent vocals. Hate to include reviews of reviews in my reviews, but my god people can be weird little freaks about women eh? If you’re reading this and you haven’t written your own review yet, please, take a breath, don’t say anything insane.

Short and (bitter)sweet country album with great storytelling by Loretta Lynn.

Loretta Lynn and country music is almost synonymous. Lynn is a great storyteller and the short runtime makes it hard not to want more when it’s over.

Thoughts before listening: Loretta Lynn gets a lot of praise as a 60s country female who wasn't afraid to get a little "racy"...which in the 60s country world meant songs about drinking, the pill, and divorce. The title track on this is a classic, but I don't recognize the other songs listed on the cover. Review: This album starts out with the title track and its great. Fun little ditty about a woman shooting down her husband for coming home drunk, which in the 60s country world was probably pretty progressive. These are short songs (nothing over 3 minutes and its a sub-30 minute album) that are of a similar vein to the title track, and Loretta has a nice voice. I enjoy it but its not exactly revolutionary music. 4-stars

Here is some good ol' honky tonk country. If this genre is your thing, Loretta Lynn is probably in your top 5. These are pretty well written songs. Captures what country music should be. And what it once was. Country now a days is no different than that of Bruno Mars or Sabrina Carpenter. Just with a bit of twang. It's God awful. Never was a huge country fan... But if I were to. Listen to it, it would be artists from around this era.

Loretta was one unapologetically sassy lady. Love the singing, love the classic country instrumentation, love the lyrics which would have been quite shocking in ‘67. This is a damn near perfect country recording, but I still think Coal Miner’s daughter is a little better. More variation in themes would be nice. Not EVERY song can be about your no-good cheatin’ cad of a husband.

Quality older country. Good listen.

Vieles klingt zwar gleich, aber Vorteil ist: mag man eins, mag man alle

LP

I really love some old timey country western music. I wonder what the men of 1967 thought listening to her be so feisty so publicly. Probably ruffled some feathers. But good for her, this album slaps

3.7 3x catch up 2/10

Loretta Lynn is a national treasure. This was a fantastic album.

I really like this style and I think Loretta Lynn has the perfect voice for it. Country music really peaked as a genre in the 1960s.

If you're a middle-aged woman going through a break-up or divorce, this is a perfect 5-star album. Liked Songs Added: Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Such a great voice

Excellent album, I really enjoyed it. Some classic songs and some I have never heard but overall I liked it and her voice is not like anything I have heard before. Classic stuff.

Loretta Lynn has such a great voice, and these songs are so well-written, this is just great. Not a lot more to say, just very good stuff.

A really solid showing from an all time great.

Old times country

Countr and western

There are so few voices like hers

Это хорошо

No one sounded quite like these old country vocalists. There's just something about the music that just sets off their voice in the mix. Loretta Lynn sounds stellar on this album. I wish the production was just a bit better, but even so she sounds great. The songs are well-crafted too. I really wish modern country would ape this style a little more, so that it would sound less shitty and shallow 4/5 Keep a place in heaven warm for us, Loretta. And make sure that Fred Durst isn't allowed in when he dies

This is the perfect example of what country music is supposed to sound like. Loretta Lynn is amazing on this album.

When people say music used to be about stuff is this what they had in mind. Could almost copy and paste my Dolly Parton review

I will admit that the movie Coal Miner’s Daughter was the extent of my exposure to Loretta Lynn until now, although that is a good movie. Regardless, this album is terrific. Devil Gets His Due and Living in Two Worlds are highlights.

I liked it

She has a voice like caramel, it's wonderful. Though some of the early tracks could be the same one on repeat musically, it picked up in the second half. A country album I didn't have to skip on! That for me is a success!

Loretta is always great.

Classic country album by a classic country singer.

Loretta Lynn is one of the biggest stars of country music, with a career that spanned decades. Don't come Home Drinkin'... is her ninth studio album, and the first full album of feminist based songs in her catalog. Loretta was the first country artist to present a woman's perspective; in doing so, Loretta changed country music as an artist that the average, working-class woman could relate to. This album was one of many high points of Loretta Lynn's career. Her very poor background made her famous through song and film; Don't Come Home Drinkin' is part of her music that made her into a feminist icon.

Vieles klingt zwar gleich, aber Vorteil ist: mag man eins, mag man alle

Sad, beautiful, classic.

Steel guitar heaven. Great old time country classic.

I enjoyed it quite a lot indeed

What an icon. I don't listen to her enough but I let this play through twice. Also, the Jack White Loretta Lynn crossover and their chemistry in Portland Oregon lives rent free in my mind. Will be listening to again, 3.75 but rounding up

A fun listen and excellent advice for us all. Light 4.

Good group of songs with a classic sound. Some of them were extremely short and could have made the album longer than 28 minutes if they had been extended slightly. The title track is super catchy. Coal miners daughter is probably better but I appreciated the change from 80s British new wave.

The album title alone scores high. I'm excited for this ride. Lots of folksy country songs about love, heartbreak, last straws, and boundary setting. All in all I enjoyed what I got out of this -- soft 4.

Her sound and voice are so happy and upbeat that it's sometimes easy to miss just how angry a lot of these songs are about the double standard for women and men in 1960s America. Sadly, much of what she sings about is still relevant today.
