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

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.

title track has been in my head all day. my fondness for loretta lynn has grown since similar-era country since i was introduced to queer two-step night, where fist city is a stone-cold classic. 3.5

“Here’s a song I wrote while I was mopping up your dried blood and teeth” This music was made for dive bars and truck stops.

First time purposely listening to anything by Loretta Lynn. This was enjoyable and in a way comforting - like a heavy weighted quilt that’s cool to the touch but will also keep you warm on a crisp Autumn night.

Good ol' country blues.

Qué es esta maravilla???!

I really enjoyed the lyrics. Old times but still a lot of the same topics to sing about.

Absolute legend of country music.

Just a good album of 60's country music. 4 stars or B+.

Classic country style, great vocals and really solid all round

4/5

7.5/10

Pretty good

I can't believe this is the ninth studio albums. I know she's a legend, but this is quite a large discography. In addition to the legendary voice, she's just a great storyteller. Very fun to listen to, even if some of the C/W elements like the slide guitar aren't used as much anymore.

I'm not a huge country music fan but I kinda love Loretta Lynn. She's not shy about speaking her mind on things regarding falling in and out of love. She's just very upfront about things in a way that probably shook things up a bit in her day. Don't Come Home a Drinkin is great. I also like Get What Cha Got and Go. Some of the other songs get a little too Connie Francis for me.

I love hearing old timey country through a woman’s lens. She’s pretty great. Her songs have a fun energy and totally dig her voice. This has a comforting nostalgic vibe, despite all the drunkenness, cheating and heartache.

this is pure cunt

classic country album. Good mix.

Loretta is incredible. The songs are so well crafted, the vocals pitch perfect, and the theming impeccable. I don't care for any of it, but it's masterful.

Great set of songs about relationships, heartbreak, jealousy and sex. Loretta Lynn is soulful when she sings about being lonely and strong when she’s kicking a cheating lover out the door. Her voice is gorgeous. The backing music is excellent too. Clean, crisp production to match the tight, lean songwriting. I love the twanging guitars and horse-trot drums.

One of the classic women of country. The most memorable is, unsurprisingly, the title track, but Loretta Lynn does a great job on pretty much every song here. The best part is that songs stay light and never stick around longer than they need to, with only one runtime longer than 3 minutes. Lynn is, undoubtedly, one of the finest country singers of her time. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved every minute of it - I can't disagree more with these extremely dated values, and I doubt I'd ever find myself in their shoes, but the feelings are just very real, and that's something I do relate with.

This was wonderful. My cat sat next to the speaker the whole time. I paused it for a bit, cat left, turned it back on, cat came back and sat by the speaker.

Kansi näyttää vitsiltä, mutta Loretta ei vitsaile! Mitä nyt pilkettä on silmäkulmassa. Sanoitukset todella käskevät kuuntelemaan ja ovat hyviä. Tyylikäs suoritus myös. Olen Lorettan puolella.

I love a woman who sings about how men are shitty

You can hear all the early country influence throughout this album. It doesn't really resonate with me, but the whole album is an incredibly easy listen. I can't knock it for that, because theory wise, it's sound and simple. Songs are short and to the point as well, nothing clocks in over 3 minutes. Man, someone did Loretta wrong and she wrote an album about it. Sounds like dude was a raging alcoholic to boot. She's like the OG Taylor Swift. She's a pretty great singer too.

I wasn't expecting how fun this album is! Loretta is like a sassy bestie who is willing to share her experiences. At the heart of it is her voice with its soothing vibrato, backed up by a really classic country sound. This feels like the kind of album that's kept inspiring others for decades.

Didn't think much on first lesson but enjoyed it a lot on the second. I think this 50s 60s country is growing on me.

Some of the subject matter is outdated and not too relevant to a 28 year old male living in 2024. But her voice and the feel throughout the album are hard to look past. The vocals on ‘I really don’t want to know’ are amazing. Really strong 4 from me and will prob revisit some of these tracks

Nice album. Reminds me of patrolling the Mojave. Lynn has a lot of emotion behind her voice and that really helps sell the great lyrics. Also, how insane is it for a female country singer to allude to spousal rape back in a time when it was still legal and nearly never talked about? The balls on Loretta Lynn are immeasurable

Loretta Lynn didn't have to go this hard

Not really my thing but I enjoyed this album!

Classic country stays undefeated 🔥also didn’t know Lynn wrote some of the songs herself! A nice bonus to an already great performance

Swäg

Zuerst dachte ich, mein Gott schon wieder Country. Aber die Lieder überraschten mich mit den Texten welche sehr fortschrittlich und emanzipiert wirken.

4/5

Step to twangy bliss Sad songs sang with full vigor And soft rebellion

What can I say - Loretta Lynn! Truly legendary. As a ten year old, watching Sissy Spacek in Coal Miner's Daughter when in the theater was a life-altering experience. I enjoyed it, although I'm not a huge fan of the Owen Bradley sound, which is a weird thing for a guy with Nashville bona fides to say, and I make no apologies for that, and I think her songwriting and selection got better later on.

classic country! Great songs, though most of them are covers (I think). There was a moment where I could almost see her in a duet with Buddy Holly but then I woke up.

In what sounds like the background soundtrack to a movie that is set in the wee hours of a small town. A lonely man sits solo at the bar nursing the bottom of his beer with an empty shot glass next to it. His buddy walks in and give his shoulder a pat - the universal man language for 'she's a cunt buddy and you dodged a bullet. you just don't know it. Classic country like this, while pretty much slaughtered in the comments for this list are the reason a good chunk of this list is ON this list is sorely missed. I'm glad to see it and want more. I'm not even a 'country' fan, but good music is good music regardless of any slide guitar present on the track. 4/5.

8/10. Great voice. Nostalgic. Would be a 9, but the album didn’t bring enough variety in lyrics (even though most individual songs lyrics were good) for me to go above 8.

cool

Unexpectedly excellent. A plaintive Dear John letter which says, in a nutshell: Loretta is sick and tired of your nonsense, buddy.

If I could give 3 and a half I would. I’m feeling generous today

Bar.

Ms. Lynn had quite the discography I see. Great vocalist for this type of weepy-country music. Album itself is short and sweet despite having 12 songs too.

so good but the material is a bit of a straight jacket

3.5 stars rounded up. Great voice and lyrics laced with black humour.

Unmistakable. Classic. Clean. Pure of sound. She’s the Queen of Country.

Wonderful voice and very classy kinda country music , she spread her songs out but still stayed true to the theme of the album . Personally found it very relaxing and not too long either with only a handful of songs

Quite food!

words of an outsider, i write like an alien. pale hand holds the pen, a liar trying to confess. a buzz when i press, but its all in jest. this gesture is like an empty stage, making my own rumours even though its just a guess. my head hurts like a tumour but i dont want to feel less. im trying to play before it turns posthumorous, this one whispers "never doom her, shes a bloomer". broken womb, i lift the pen, again i drew her kinda one note, but it is a beautiful note

Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I don't like country music. I'd go as far as to say that I am a country music hater. With the country music I've grown up with, it's easy to see why and how. But THIS??? This is fantastic. The day they stopped making it like this is the day the genre died a grisly death. Straying from this was a massive mistake. This was lovely in every way.

Classic country, and a classic country voice.

3.5

I wanted to like this more. It's nostalgic for me, my mom loved Conway Twitty so I heard a lot of his duets with Loretta. I loved the honky tonk piano & steel guitar but the songs all started to sound alike. If rate 3.5 but boosting to a 4 for the memories

Loretta ate with this one. If the other country oldies men like Hank Williams and Bob Wills are in the doghouse, some country old gal had to put them there. Her voice is lovey and the band all swangin. Solid folk music, although I can't believe that she broke my heart at the end and cheated too.

Classic stuff. Great quality recording, solid all around. This style has a pretty low ceiling imo.

Finally some variety.

A lovely record. Great collection of songs, clean production and very good performance by Loretta. A nice album for dinners and after noon coffee. I'm not a big country guy, but this is one of the better I've heard

The legendary Loretta Lynn doesn't disappoint. It's a surprisingly good mix for the 60s. Highlight - Saint To a Sinner

Delightful

Kind of cool to see lyrics like this coming from a woman. She's no Dolly, though.

Modern country could learn a thing or three from old school country music. Fantastic from start to finish! Standout tracks: Don't Come Home A-Drinkin', Tomorrow Never Comes, The Shoe Goes on the other Foot Tonight

Country is not my thing, but this is completely tolerable. She doesn’t twang her voice to hell. The lyrics are simple, but not stupid or Jesus-ed to oblivion. The music is on point, and the songs get to their point and then end. The 28 minute run time is absolutely no chore whatsoever which is about the best compliment I’ve ever given a country album.

Loretta Lynn weeps, wails, and sings her way through a collection of country classics. Her voice is a treat, mournful but not whiny, and powerful enough to push the gain on her tracks. The backing band is a tight, minimalist country ensemble featuring some excellent slide guitar work. Song selection is very focused on heartbreak, troubled love, and threats of leaving, which does get repetitive, but that may be more a product of the genre at the time then conscious curation. Stand out tracks include "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin'", "I Really Don't Want To Know", "Saint To A Sinner", "The Devil Gets His Due", and "I Got Caught".

A truly great album I enjoyed thoroughly. Happy this was suggested to me.

A couple of these could be on the Mojave Radio in NV, 4/5

Slow paced and predictable, not an album I would revisit

I’m not a huge fan of country music but i think this was one of the standouts of classic country music. She has a Very nice voice. I’m probably not going to listen to this one again but I can appreciate the art.

It's easy to hate on country music, but recognizing when an artist understands the assignment and absolutely nails their genre is something to be admired no matter what type of music it is. The coal miner's daughter - Loretta Lynn - is OG royalty of country music. "Don't Come Home a Drinkin'" was a great listen. To have such a long career and stay relevant for close to 60 years tells you what you need to know about Loretta Lynn's music.

This was a surprise. Usually old country I struggle to get through. While the music was really not my thing the songwriting and delivery I thought were great. Really happy to have listened to this one.

Kinda loved it

Genius

Get ekki að því gert, en ég hugurinn rennur alltaf til Lurleen Lumpkin. En nú finnst mér Lurleen mjög skemmtileg, svo þetta er hið mesta hrós. Lögin renna svolítið saman í eitt og tónlistarlega kemur ekkert á óvart. En hey, þetta er vel flutt og skemmtilegt fyrir því.

i like sad music, and this is depressing country.

I love this style and era of country, and this has to be one of the best titles for any album on this list. Some great songs here, although the careworn, downtrodden wife stories do get a little samey after a while. Also particularly loved 'Get What'Cha Got'. I do enjoy a good yarn, and some of these are great.

The Voice of Heartbreak. I can't decide which leads the way here - the songs or the tearful delivery. Put them both together and it's a combination that is going to leave you feeling a little down on yourself. Perfect for a rainy Wednesday morning in January.

My favourite coal miner’s daughter.

Ain’t no hell like a country girl scorned

A quick, fun and easy listen! Sounds like she shouldn't have been putting up with that husband, though.

She's a national treasure, but Van Lear Rose is the Loretta Lynn album everyone should listen to before shuffling off. That said, as dated as this can sound, the Loretta Lynn magic holds up, especially on the title track. It's the perfect Loretta Lynn song title that works catchy as a chorus that can be read a few different ways. In Loretta's world, I'm sure her rule to Doolittle was that he could go out and paint the town with the boys all he wanted. He just couldn't expect to get a piece of ass when he eventually crawled into bed. That's probably why he cheated on her so many times. As Loretta Lynn would say, I ain't excusing, I'm explaining.

8/10 cute, silly lil folk tunes she has an absolutely beautiful voice

Absolute Queen.

Torn between 4 and 5 stars. I mean, there's not a ton of variety here. But when every pitch is an unhittable fastball who cares?

Pretty flawless Country of this Sad Lady subgenre, all about that pure voice. Not my genre generally but I can appreciate it.

I'm not a big fan of country music, but sometimes it sounds so damn good that you forget you've never even been to America. This woman is a legend and Making Plans is the sweetest song, so it's 4 from me, Loretta!

I dug this. I only knew the title track, but the others did not disappoint. LL is a treasure to be sure. I love how each of these songs comes from the heart. Her vocal styling won me over, as well. And of course that Nashville production with perfect arrangements and impeccable musicianship brings this whole thing home. Man, the late '60s to early '70s was such a golden age of country music. The album Loretta made with Jack White, Van Lear Rose, is excellent as well.

I found this album charming and sweet and I love me a good country song title. (Side note: my friend Craig came up with a country song title called "There Ain't Enough Bars in Heaven (To Keep Me From Thinking 'Bout My Baby in Hell." Andre made it into a most excellent song on his solo album) But back to Loretta Lynn. I loved this.

Actually pretty good great!

4.5

tchê tri massa countryzao agradável

4.0 - Straight-shooting classic country that's equal parts snappy, twangy, sassy and sweet. Every song clocks in at that 2-3 minute sweet spot, never overstaying its welcome. Lynn deftly guides each song with just enough bravado and oomph. The backing band similarly never minces a note. Here's another near-perfect blues-inflected country pop record for the ages. I especially like songs that credit Lynn as a songwriter, especially the closer "I Got Caught."

Never heard a Loretta Lynn album and this one was really good. The album cover picture is deceptive as she looks very demure, but this is an angry album about cheating and I am very much enjoying it. I think this is a must-listen, because it's a window into pre-70's country music.

I often enter into these old country records with a hint of trepidation - yet more regularly than not, I end up having a good time. This is great - gutsy, colourful singing (with no little skill) and a pungent honky-tonk feel to the arrangements combined to make this a winner. There's a punchiness in the lyrics that's very appealing too - direct, but oozing with feeling. Pretty fantastic. Loretta Lynn, eh?

What a voice. I wish her more woman power songs would have met more radio play, but the times dictated she's "Stand by your man" instead of "The Shoe is on the Other Foot". Really great overall.

This album actually goes really hard. What I thought would be your stereotypical Christian country album was full of life lessons for your strong independent 60's wife. Don't you dare come home drunk and horny is what she says, and who can blame her? I had a really great time listening to this and will again. Stand out track: The Shoe Goes on the Other Foot Tonight

This was a fun album. I might be too generous since it is the first country album from this list, but the songs were fun and even humorous at times. I will say the constant theme of infidelity got a little stale for me. I have to give props for the story that plays out through the album, but looking at the point of view of the singer she was kind of annoying. Like because he heated on me I'm just gonna cheat on him and then upset when he leaves me. Kind of a face palm moment for me.

Strong 3 she’s a heart melter

Favourite songs: Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind), Saint to a Sinner, The Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight, There Goes My Everything, The Devil Gets His Due, Get What 'Cha Got and Go, I Got Caught Least favourite songs: I Can't Keep Away From You, I'm Living In Two Worlds 4/5

Vraiment bon albu. Country, super chanteuse 4.5

I enjoyed this, found the songs interesting and pleasant to listen to.

Name of the title track alone gets 4 stars from me. Nice album though.

I know what I like, and I won't make any apologies for it.

Versión de these boots are made for walking 👢👍

A very good classic country album. And what a voice!

Don’t Come Drinkin’ is such a great tune. Lynn’s sassy, strong songs (above, and Shoe Goes in the Other Foot) are great and I love the playing on this record. The slower songs aren’t my thing, although the pedal steel is nice.

I wouldn't listen to it often but this is nostalgic country to the nth degree.

Surprisingly enjoyable old school country music. Found myself dancing along haha. Great vocals and storytelling.

I get why this was a big record for women in the late 60's and 70's. The lyrics are super awesome. I love them. And old school country has it's charm. This is very much not my thing. But I am scoring this high none the less. This isn't my kind of banger. But it is a banger.

Good for what it is. Its the type of album that I enjoyed listening to but don't really feel an urge to listen to any of the songs again.

Very old fashioned, with very short and (occasionally) repetitive songs. More my dad's taste than mine, but still very enjoyable.

This is great. I just went to a screening of "Coal Miner's Daughter" very recently, so she has been on my mind. 12 songs in 28 minutes is great! All of these songs are great, classic Loretta Lynn. Could listen to her all day.

I'm not sure how country music devolved from this to shit like Toby Keith singing about 'Murica. This is a great album. Beautiful, authentic songs from a woman's point of view, sung by a great singer. 4 stars.

Surprisingly good. Old country seems way better than new country

Classic

Ha, well I got this on New Year's Eve. 3 months after her death. Not a big country fan by any means but I have softened in my aversion to it in recent years. And, well, this is terrific really. What a voice. RIP.

Some good old fashioned country, not the pop/rock country that we get these days. It's nice not hearing about 'the good ol' USA,' and 'my pickup truck,' and 'starin' at the bottom of a bottle' that permeates every modern country song. It's not as good as Dolly in her prime, but it's a solid, enjoyable country album.

Many of the hallmarks that made Loretta Lynn one of country music's most beloved singer/songwriter's is out on full display in this short and sweet album. Coming out the gate swinging with a heed and a warning to those who are too inebriated for a little action, Loretta keeps the momentum running with tales that delve into any topic that's worth singing: love, heartbreak, cheating, sinning, a good night out; you name it, she's got it down. Loretta Lynn shall be missed. Favorites: Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind), Tomorrow Never Comes, The Shoe Goes on the Other Foot Tonight, The Devil Gets His Due, Makin' Plans, I Got Caught.

Amazing

Good singing, fun songs about cheating and dealing with disloyal partners.

See it, sing it, all sorted in under half and hour. Quality.

Some old time country punk.

What a voice!

I'm not big into country music and I'm well aware of that. But going through this challenge of listening of all these albums has definitely opened me up to this genre. Loretta's singing is beautiful, has mildly repetitive lyrics (I assume this is due to the era). I can appreciate it for what it is, but being said probably wouldn't listen again. Saved tracks: The Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight, I Can't Keep Away From You, Tomorrow Never Comes, Get What 'Cha Got and Go

Fantastic!

An enjoyable 28 minute album with the usual country instrumentation (steel guitar, honky-tonk piano, stand up bass). The main attraction though is Loretta Lynn's sweetly robust vocals. The format of an up-tempo track followed by a ballad works really well, mainly because Lynn handles both with equal aplomb. Amongst the other progressive sounds pop sounds of 1967 (Jimi Hendrix, The Doors etc) this probably sounded a bit dated even then, but on it's own term it's a lovely, charming record. I may well be a closet country music fan!

Everything about this. The slide guitar. The fantastic honky tonk riffs. This album is top notch. This one wants me to fire up the big rig and get those 18 wheels truckin down I-10 into the arms of a stranger. It's a lullaby for cheaters and broken hearts. Fabulous piece of Americana and it was lovely to hear for the first time.

Listened to on 7/9/22 4/5 Favorite song: Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ Loretta Lynn was foundational to country music and this album was so good and an great social commentary on women in the 60s

Country music the way I like country music.

It’s like an idiots guide to country music, tells it as it is, all the country rhythms and southern sounds. Did make me feel a bit sad as she’s obviously been with quite a few drunks in her life. I liked it.

I suppose they added this one because it's her breakthrough in terms of bringing feminism to country music, but Coal Miner's Daughter is right there. Best track: I Really Don't Want to Know

Love it

Great Country, remind me of my childhood with my grand mother.

I enjoyed this far more than I was expecting to. The title track is just perfect ur country. But the whole album is just warm, enjoyable, with a razor sharp wit and great instrumentation. One to convert country haters!

Great gem!

Kind of reminds me of the music my parents listened to. Ver-r-r-r-r-r-r-ry twangy. But in a good way. Songs not stretched out too long. There's something to be said about succinctness.

Listened Before? N I loved this album. A good first entry for classic 60s country western. Pros: the title track is amazing, her voice is great, and the rebellious undertones were probably pretty fresh at the time. Cons: slow in parts. If you’re not sad, the slow songs drag. Added to Library? N Songs added to Library: Don’t Come Home a Drinkin…., I Got Caught.

Very solid classic country album. I don't listen to much but would listen to this again.

Enjoyed this one much more than I expected to. Lynn and her genuine vocals carry each arrangement on a mix of pure simplicity, true sorrow, and honest emotions.

Loretta is a truly wonderful performer. There's a reason why she's a country music icon. The only thing keeping this album being a 5 for me is that some of the songs can start running together a bit towards the end of the album. Highly recommended.

A very classic, lovely sound to bop to in a tight little record. Big points for an absolute lack of bloat.

Felt like I was in a tarantino movie

I really enjoy Loretta Lynn a lot. Her vocals are so fucking good, and maybe the lyrical content was more of a bummer, but the up and downs of love and a partner who cheats. I mean it fucking sucks and is a bummer. I enjoyed it a good bit.

Not really my style of country but I admire the album.

Classic country

This was my first introduction to Ms. Lynn, and after the first three tracks I was unimpressed. I felt like she was missing the passion of a Dolly or the sass of an Aretha. But much to my joy, I stand corrected after the brutality of Saint to Sinner, and ShoeGgoes on the Other Foot. There Goes my Everything had me near tears. Good show.

Love this sound. Beautiful voice, but has a little too much vibrato at times.

This was great fun. What sass.

hahahaha ok this gets a 5/5 just for the album title. surely it's gonna be country. haha ok yep it's fuckin country as, but it's that fun old-school country. would listen to this again for sure. 4/5.

I love it <3, not VERY creative music, but beautiful nontheless 4/5

Right at the start, you can see Loretta Lynn being more feminist than country fans were ready for when this was released. The title song is a classic, and it's followed by some good rainy day country songs.

The way country should be.

I really like this album. Standouts: "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (with Lovin' on your Mind)", "Tomorrow Never Comes", "Saint To Sinner" "The Shoe Goes on the Other Foot Tonight" "Saint To A Sinner"

Really good stuff from Loretta. Some real bangers but also some snoozes.

Totally relatable.

Not my absolute favorite country sound, but I adore the slower songs on this record. Lynn has an amazing voice, and I love her persona. I still need to look more into her discography + life!

Classic album from a country legend.

oddly catchy country song vibes. simpler times and catchy laments. high pitched vocals but never piercing.

I’m a Loretta convert!

Really fun album

I think I might just like country music. A bit samey but it’s short so it’s okay.

Felt a lot more like a concept album that I would've thought from the cover and the style, but while I liked the concept, I didn't love the music. 4 stars, good reminder not to be shitty to your spouse.

That was fun. Missed Intl Women’s Day by a few but definitely in the spirit.

Lovely stuff. The guitars and lap steels and her voice felt like they were losing into my head but I think that’s because it was morning.

Interesting. Didn't listen carefully though.

Classic country, good feel to it. Made me long for some of the old merle haggard type songs.

This is fine, like a lot of albums of this era they were really just throwing darts around the same general sound to sell records. Each song is executed in a way that works, it can feel monotonous to go through the whole album even at a short run length. Good steel guitar work

Not much of a country music fan, and this was a lot of what I don’t really like in it. That said I can’t deny Loretta’s talent. Not necessarily a bad record, but not really one for me. 3/5

i think i would like country music a bit more if they gave the steel guitar a break every once in a while

Not my usual thing, but it’s short and entertaining (just like me!). Favourite track: Tomorrow Never Comes

Iconic voice of the girl next door 60s,70s Appalachia. Lots of cheating going on apparantly It would have been good to have a siong about domestic violence.

1967 country Don't come home a drinkin' Saint to sinner

A precursor to Dolly Parton? 😊 I think it’s pretty good, anyway, so it’s a keeper. Three stars…

Thought I’d be bored but I liked it a lot more than expected. I was curious so I looked at the Wikipedia page and she only contributed to writing 3 of the songs (but did write the title track and “I got caught” which were two of the best songs IMO). Her voice is more powerful than I would have guessed and almost feels a little underutilized. Solid 3

3.1 I relate a bit more to Doolittle Lynn's album "Cmon babe, dont you love me, just this one time"

This leads me to believe that all country singers back then shared one slide guitar and three melodies.

LORETTA!!!! I'm was fun, but I'm glad it was a quickie.

Middle of the road

Pretty solid. Happy I listened but that might be where it starts and ends

Pleasant listening

I was expecting a time capsule, especially with the title and starting track. So was surprised when it ended with a “I’m gonna get mine” style song #feminism

Trevligt ändå!

simpatično, solidno, neloše, kratko i slatko

Perfectly cromulent

Lovely voice, poignant lyrics that I’m sure were saying things that most women simply couldn’t imagine themselves saying but wanted to then, and simple country guitars. It’s smooth but it got repetitive really quick. A little more tempo or subject change would’ve been nice,

Solid country bluegrass sound.. nothing particularly jumped out. Can hear how this would be influential to modern country with similar lyrics and themes.

3,5

Lynn has a remarkably powerful voice and some of the songs feel rather progressive for a country record from this time. Loretta Lynn does not sound like a woman that you would want to double-cross! Not a single track on here goes over the three minute mark, so the album flies by quite quickly despite the record sticking firmly to that classic Nashville sound and not changing it up at all. There is a whole lot of sorrow to be found in the album's brief runtime. Like many albums of its time, this record is mostly just a vehicle for the lead single, but it still makes for a good time.

Soulful country songs about love and loss and longing. Today, this paints a bleak picture of a relationship. Even then, it shouldn't have happened. You're all bashing this because you don't like the style of the music, but the themes in the music are no different than pop or brit folk. My rating: 3/5

great voice but mostly boring songs

I like it but I wouldn't ever listen to it. I can see how she inspired others like Emmy Lou Harris and Dolly Parton.

Dønn ærlig old school country. Likanes men ikke spesielt engasjerende.

Funny how it works out with this list I got this album straight after a coat of many colors by dolly parton these 2 albums have a very similar vibe, I did prefer this album but rate it about the same I find Lorettas voice way more likable its smoother and not as sharp as dollys and the music was really good some of it reminiscent of johnny cash overall nice album that is not my usually style but likled it

Sweet but not so my thing

You could imagine any of these songs on the Goodfellas soundtrack. Mostly just fine with I Really Don't Wanna Know being particularly good.

3 stars by default for being an icon, but classic country just isn’t my thing

Familiar with this one. She has some great songs, but there's a fair bit of bland peppered in this as well. Starts off with such a bang!

My second country album in consecutive days. I remember as a kid watching Coal Miners Daughter and becoming familiar with Loretta Lynn in that way. I grew up on this kind of country. It’s still kind of my favorite but boy is it sad to think about how people lived back then. They lied and cheated and they fell back in love. Now you either love or hate her voice. I think there’s vibrato wears ona bit too much but hey it was only 30 minutes. Is this an album that I needed to hear before I died. No. It was her 9th. There doesn’t seem to be any real significance or brilliance on the album except a few covers. The cover the Ernest Tubb song Tomorrow Never Comes. Tubb was the first to record with her. So it makes sense she would cover one of his songs. But again I didn’t need to hear this album

Loretta Lynch is obviously a talented singer, but this album is from such a different era that it isn’t as enjoyable to listen to in 2026. However, context matters. Listening to this at home, it was a fine way to spend 30 minutes. But if a song from this album is included in the right film or show (ie Fallout, Righteous Gemstones, even a MCU movie), it would feel iconic.

Still better than any country album released in the last 30 years.

Yah I definitely struggle with country music. As a whole there’s not a lot of variety, and in the case like this album, there is usually a lot that’s alittle too slow for me. But then there’s absolute perfection like the songs “don’t come home a drinkin”, “the devil gets his due”, and “get what cha got and go”. Those three songs I really loved and honestly reassures me that my claim “that most country music is just pop rock music with a pandering musical style” which is very true for those three songs. That beings said I did appreciate her voice, which is great. I just wanted alittle more humor and upbeat songs. This is a great country album, but it’s not “my kind” of country album, which I guess would just be southern rock. Seriously though, even if you don’t like country music, listen to that opening title track, I think it’s charm and humor could win over anybody even me. Also on a side note, I want to acknowledge how amazing her vocal performance is on “I really don’t want to know”.

Can definitely admit to Loretta Lynn being a talented singer, and the album started great, but all the songs started to blend since they were all just about infidelity and jealousy. It's country music in the way people think of ol'-timey country music. Not something I'll listen more to but glad I least tried it. (3/5)

Great country voice but just a mainstream old fashioned honky tonk country album with little appeal to me. 3 at best.

absolutely depressing subject matter distracted me from how boring the instrumentals are. singer has a beautiful voice too, so bonus point

Lekkere niets aan de hand Country

Glad albums like this exist, and exist on this list. Some Patsy Cline vibes, and I'm here for it. Great voice. T'would be another 3.5 if we did halves, or 3.75 if we did quarters. Not sure about fifths or sixths. Sevensths? Anyway nice album, glad to have her on my radar.

This came out in 1967, you say? Or 1947?

Not bad in it's time. Would never visit it again.

60s country. Quite the title. Beautiful voice, sad lyrics.

Great start to a day. Such a voice and songwriter.

A solid album!

I don't like country music, but this one is pretty nice.

Just some solid twangy old timey country that didn’t suck.

She has a solid singing voice. Her twang and the music itself made this album less enjoyable for me than it could have been.

Not my sort of thing, really, but it bopped along well enough.

Music that makes you want to do a deep stretch.

3.5.

Not a fan of country music I generally turn it off as soon as I can. Despite that this is better than the last 1001 that came up in my queue, which got a 2, so here’s a 3 for you Lorreta

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

Call me a sentimental old fool but I quite like this sort of stuff 😅

It sort of sounds good if you don't listen to any of the words or values...

A good album, I liked Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin', Tomorrow Never Comes and The Devil Get His Due the most.

Enjoyed that more than I was expecting

Vrm pas mon style mais je feel l’importance qu’a eu cette album, surtout avec le puissant message qu’il projette

Classic western music

Good old fashioned country but didn't really grab me as something special.

Loretta Lynn's opening song and title 'Don't Come Home A Drinking with Loving On Your Mind' is early feminist punk rock delivered in a country twang whose easy delivery masks the stark message. Bad ass. Added to that, all songs around 2 minute mark and album clocks in under half an hour. Country punk starts here, 3 stars.

A novelty at best. But a fun one.

Overall: 5/10 She has a lovely voice, and I do like the songs for the most part, but there's only so many songs about a bad relationship that I can put up with. Fav Song: The Devil Gets His Due

Lo siento, no es mi tipo de música, no recuerdo los “buenos viejos tiempos” ni me apetece pegarle a mi mujer cuando se le ocurra pensar algo distinto a mi. Pero no suena mal!!

It's like an Adele Album from a parallel country universe.

Good vibe

Not my go to but I really liked this. It was really good road trip music

53/100. Country music really is not my thing, but I can totally see why Loretta Lynn became such a massive deal in the genre. She had this real gift for taking ordinary, everyday experiences and turning them into songs that felt incredibly honest and relatable. The title track, and honestly most of the album, is built around wanting basic respect in a relationship. That might sound like common sense today, but looking back at mainstream country music in the 1960s, a woman openly demanding respect, fidelity and consideration from her partner was a seriously bold move.

sad yeehaw

Listen I know a lot of people won’t like this. But Loretta Lynn is my GIRL. Not the best album I’ve ever heard, but I’m a little biased. Would give 3.5 if I could do half stars

I actually think that this is one of the better country albums I have listened to. I usually am not a fan of this genre, but very few albums I can sit and listen to without wanting to instantly turn it off. It was quite a short album, and I think it worked that way. The songs had nothing really that needed adding to them, which would make them lengthier, and if they were made longer, I feel it would just be very repetitive. What I find about country music is that a lot of it sounds very similar and almost cliché at times. This also does in a way, but I did enjoy the vocals, and they felt fresh enough to keep it going. Favourites: Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) I Really Don't Want To Know I Got Caught

This is the tolerable kind of country. Sparse but good instrumentation, genuine vocals and not overproduced and glossy. However, the songwriting leaves one wanting. Only the title track and There Goes My Everything stand out.4,6/10, rounded up to three stars to make a statement

3.5

Nice album

Very talented singer! The seemingly effortless vibrato on most of the songs is super impressive. Aside from that the songs are also pretty nice, and at times it all reminds me a bit of Dolly Parton Standouts Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) The Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight 3/5

it's ok music, in a fun, easy-listening, old-timey kind of way. not really the kind of thing i would want to listen to regularly though

Classic Country. Not everyday listening for me, but it makes me want to go back to the Opry. Not sure why this album of hers is on the list.

Pretty solid country, but meta-textually frustrating. I'm sure there's at least a little nuance to her beliefs, but singing songs like Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) then saying that you're "not a big fan of women's liberation" sits weirdly with me. More recently, Loretta Lynn also also staged a "joke wedding" with close personal friend Kid Rock, a man I do not respect, which sits weirdly with me for similar reasons. And it sucks because she had some really powerful songs in the 60's that it really seems like she grew out of touch with. I'll say I don't think she was a horrible person or anything, she was just consistently frustrating as of late. But regardless of this, I'm sure I listen to musicians with greater sins, and this is a pretty strong collection of songs. Though, looking back at it, it doesn't feel like there's anything separating this from the pack as far as country albums of the time go. But I am willing to chalk that up to the flaws of hindsight. She is plenty charismatic and has some really talent for performance as well. I don't have a ton to say, but this was broadly enjoyable.

A stone cold scolding from the coalminer’s daughter. I’m still not fully into country music but the kitchen sink drama and Lynn’s feisty attitude has partially won me over

Enjoyable enough listen but def not something I want to hear on the regular.

She can sing, but she can't pick a man (apparently).

Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind) What’s often great about the 60s country albums is that they don’t often go beyond 30 minutes, and the genre really suits that brevity. This a great example of that, the humorous directness of the lyrics and efficiency of the arrangements and melodies, whether they skip along like the title track or the excellently Elvis-y Get Watcha Got and Got, or whether they wallow in bottom of the bottle balladry like I Really Don’t Want to Know or There Goes Everything or Living in Two Worlds add up to a sharp and succinct album. She really does have a great voice, whether she’s exaggerating the countryness or on I love her vocal on I Really Don’t Want to Know, where she has a lovely tremulousness in the verses before stretching out soulfully. The playing is great too, there’s some great steel of course, but there is some great piano and guitar playing too. It all adds up to a high 3 I think, an easy going and enjoyable listen 🍺🍺🍺 Playlist submission: Get Whatcha Got and Go

Shrugs. It's fine.

Very cool. Sweet and uncomplicated country beauty I guess. It feels clean. Really great voice for the style. I will return to it.. Probably not loads though

Good Stuff. Classic rock precursor.

28 minutes and 28 seconds. 727 albums in, that's a runtime that warms my heart. The music is all fine. It's very classic country, honky-tonk. I guess it's a good representation of a certain kind of music and earns its place on the list on that basis, and I did enjoy its kitsch charms.

Not bad, actually. A bit depressing at times, but nowhere near as bad as some of the dross on this list. One thing that bugs me about this project is the idea of listening to a pretentious vanity project which goes on for 77 minutes. This is only 28 minutes long. It’s inoffensive country pop, sort of like Dolly Parton style. I wouldn’t actively seek it out again, but it’s easily in the top half of albums so far.
