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

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.

Country, 17eme album => 1/5

"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.

Exceeded expectations. Best of the 3 country albums I've had on the list so far.

A pretty standard classic country album, with warmth and melancholy in equal measure. Didn’t stand out much though.

I definitely like older country

I heard a lot of this kind of music growing up, a little nostalgic. Loretta can sing.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) is an album that doesn't really do anything all that interesting but does the best it can in what it does do. It more or less has the sound that you would expect from a female-sang country album from the 60/70s so like a lot of those, it is a fairly basic album. The songs at least do everything well like having good vocals which is probably the highlight of the album as well as decent music and lyrics. It certainly is a very repetitive album as every song uses only a few formulas (and by a few, i mean 2 or 3) but the album was very short so it wasn't too big of an issue. This album isn't amazing but there is certainly worse out there. Best Song: Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) Worst Song: Tomorrow Never Comes

Unlistenable.

What a depressing, miserable album. Saved by her beautiful voice and the fact it was only half an hour.

Good old fashioned country, although this seems a bit staid considering what else was happening in 1967. Better than new fashioned country.

Not particularly my thing, but decent in terms of country music. 3/5

and this album is why I dislike country. Girl your man is a giant red flag, leave him. I guess it's ok to listen to if you turn off your brain and don't really listen to the lyrics. 1/5

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.

Stories are messed up and the cheery tunes are ironically juxtaposed. It's a scene I just don't enjoy.

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.

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

paskaa

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.

This is all a bit one note, isn’t it?

Classic country album by the Coal Miner’s daughter

Not a fan of country but a good album if you are

Only good song is title track

Not a bad album all considered. Some pretty cutting edge themes and lyrics for the time (I'd imagine). Some WAP energy on some tracks. Not the best, not horrible... Pretty good. 3/5

I’m not a fan of the constant vibrato she uses, and this era of country isn’t my favorite either. I didn’t mind some of Willie Nelson or John Prine’s music, but this is worse.

No bangers, but plenty of good’ns.

Fun album, seems like good background music.

Solid bit of early country. High 2s

i really do not like country, so when i heard the first song, i immediately wanted to turn it off, but thankfully, it got slightly better. ms. loretta has such a beautiful voice and vibrato, and the best way i could describe this album is like being on a beach on an island during the summer—like in the bahamas or hawaii. this will definitely be on my list of summer songs, and i thought the lyrics were very beautiful and poetic. i really enjoyed “tomorrow never comes” and “the shoe goes on the other foot tonight.” as for my #3 favorites, they were “there goes my everything,” “i’m living in two worlds,” and “making plans.” maybe it is because i am a female and the soppy, poetic stuff just gets to me sometimes, or maybe because the 60s were bomb 🥴 but this brought out my inner girlhood. 🩷🎀

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”.

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

Typical old school country music. Kinda all sounds the same but is pleasant enough to listen to. I'll take it over Morgan Wallen any day.

Too twangy for me

Ehh too boring for me

She’s got the right touch

Nice but no exciting

Classic Loretta Lynn — raw, bold, and not afraid to call it like she sees it. Her husband must’ve been a real piece of work, because the frustration and sass in these songs feel very personal. The title track is the clear standout, and while the rest of the album doesn’t quite reach the same level, it still packs plenty of attitude.

Was in de mood

Nice listen, no real standouts but a lovely voice and songs. 3

Classic country. Not really a fan but I can recognize its importance.

Reminds me of fallout, in a positive way.

Oh Loretta quit a’whinin’. Lovely voice - over dramatic country songs.

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.

Good but not really my thing. Very provocative lyrics for the time which is really cool to hear.

אין שום דבר רע באלבום פשוט לא אוהב

היה בסדר לא מיוחד

beh

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)

feel like there’s so many albums like this

Traditional country music is pretty far down my list. With the exception to a few, I like it with a little filth and attitude. Nothing wrong with pretty little housewives… just not in my jukebox.

Good traditional country album. Not genre I'm drawn to, for some reason I'm allergic to the sound of slide guitar...at least in this context. But Los voice is angelic and her themes are simple and straightforward and universal...especially in the context of time and place. I'll give it 3 stars but I know it deserves more

This is worth listening just for the slice of life of a world that's gone. Good voice and consistent throughout. Not a masterpiece but it's good to hear as part of a list trying to capture a huge swarh of what is music.

Great example for a genre of music at a time. Solid musicianship. Interesting voice.

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.

Slow and sleepy old country

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.

5/10 Its...fine...I guess. 3-06-2025

3/5/25. Classic country, pretty simplistic but decent songs.

She has an incredible voice and it was pleasant enough (albeit a bit repetitive) to listen to the mellow tunes. Glad I heard it but don't see myself ever putting this on again.

I'm not blown away by this album, but it's worth hearing. Lynn's vocal delivery is strong and heartfelt, and the lyrics are good regardless of who wrote them. Musically it's pretty standard for country at the time, but I'd rather listen to it than what passes for country now.

Boring country, although at least it sounds authentic. Definitely not one of the best 1001 albums ever.

Country legend. Respect.

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

Well, Loretta has a fine voice, poor choice in politicians (Trump), and a terrible choice in husbands (married at 15 to a 21 year old who cheated on her and beat her). This was a chore, twangy guitar, bog simple songs and as much originality as a glass of milk.

Love and Liquor don't mix - too true Loretta. a pissed off Dolly Parton who had enough shit from her useless man

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.

This was nostalgic for me. I remember listening to Loretta and similar music with my grandparents (on the rare occasions they did listen to music) in the car on their farm. Not something I’d keep in normal rotation, but I enjoyed it

Ooh wee that guitar tone! Just shredding back there behind Loretta. Young Alex would have laughed at this. But the older I get the more I appreciate this version of country. The moral of this album is don't fuck with Loretta Lynn.

Loretta is my jam, what can I say

She has such a lovely voice. Album gets a few points off for being a bit one-note, but it’s a note I enjoy. Sent me down a classic country rabbit hole so I had a good day

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.

Funny Country music.

Quality older country. Good listen.

This is better than a lot of country but still not really my thing

I try not to listen to country music. When I do, I usually have an uncontrollable desire to drink a lot of beer and do illegal things to farm animals. I see a pattern, country used to be music for people in unhappy relationships. Now it's every genre

not my style but not unbearable

Not my genre

I had to resist the temptation to leap out of my chair and start line dancing.

I don’t really understand the appeal of country music and to me this is just a novelty record. I hope Loretta is ok though - maybe find a new man!

Never listened to anything quite like this before. If that were today someone would be calling for an intervention in her relationship. But hey, they were stoic, stick with it times, and she seemed quite baddass with it. So I rather enjoyed it in a fascinating snippet in history type of way.

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

Hurt people hurt people

Beat it.

LP

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.

Eh, old country music, nothing stunning

Solides Country Album mit passender Frauen Stimme, die nach Land und Leute im Country der Mid60er klingt. Nett zu hören aber nicht spektakulär, „Tomorrow Never Come“.

I’m surprised by how short the songs are. I enjoy the story telling. I can feel the emotion conveyed by Loretta, and I wonder if she composed all of the songs herself. I’d probably listen to this album while driving or cooking.

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

I like my country cheesier and more George Strait-esque

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.

3.7 3x catch up 2/10

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

ok, regionalzão hillybilly pacas. 2

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.

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.

Ja, dit is dus echt paint by the numbers country muziek. Haat ik dit? Nee zeker niet. Hou ik hiervan? Ook absoluut niet. Teksten zijn wel echt Z W A A R depressief zeg, jezus. Ik ben niet vies van wat sadboi muziek, maar dit is wel echt depri. Een heel album, wat trouwens gewoon genoemd is naar niet thuis komen als je gezopen hebt en dan zin hebt in Lovin', klinkt niet heel gezond als ik eerlijk ben. De stem is wel ijzersterk trouwens, muzikaal heeft het niet zo heel veel om het lijf, maar het is geen vervelend album eigenlijk. Prima doorheen te komen, duurt ook nog niet eens een half uur, dus dat scheelt natuurlijk! FAVO: There goes my everything, the shoe goes on the other foot tonight

A capital C Country album to listen to if you’re heartbroken and/breaking hearts.

Loved the audience participation in particular

eig ganz nett für soa uraltes country-ish album, aber glaub würds nit noamal hören

You know how the preacher's kid is always the one that gets in the most trouble? The girl with the slutty mom is the bookish "good girl" in the class? Teenage rebellion is REAL! Well, I grew up in Nashville so the laws of adolescence prevented me from listening to country music (or wearing cowboy boots). I'd never listened to this album. It's great! Every contributing musician to this work is world class.

Listened: 4/02/2025 Album no: 13 % rating: 57% Fave Song: Fun, but wouldn’t go out of my way to put it on again.

Sounds like a housewife in the 60s complaining about her husband in song.

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

I fucking love Loretta Lynn

# 405 : ugh country!

Way worse than the Beatles. This is everything I hate about country

Maybe the lyrics don't hold up very well in certain areas, and yeah maybe she was a Trumper, but it's still a charming classic country album. In the words of a certain Christopher Nolan Batman villain: "That's a lovely lovely 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.

This... didn't hit the spot for me - nice background music, but very un-memorable and samey. Husband definitely shouldn't be an alcoholic though... that sounds problematic.

Fine. Decent twangness, but a little bland. I know Loretta is a legend so I must have missed something with this album or been in the wrong mood or something.

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 school country

Old times country

Countr and western

I think she should get a divorce, she just doesn't sound happy... 2 stars, because, at least it's not can.

she’s good but at some point it becomes the same sound? could i write poetry to this? n

All this time, I thought it was "Don't Come Home FROM Drinkin'", not "A-Drinkin'" Looks like I learned something new.

There are so few voices like hers

She's got a great voice, but the twang starts to grind, and I just don't love country music.

Loretta, you sassy little minx. Interesting to hear a song from this era so flat out claim it was her time to step out on a relationship. Ultimately a pretty basic album, great vocals and ripping slide guitar, but very same-same overall.

Loretta walked so Dolly could run

If there was a Bechdel test for music this would’ve failed every song, not a win for feminism. It wasn’t a tough listen but extremely repetitive and very much feel I could’ve died without listening to this one

Это хорошо

It’s another country album, and another post-single era album that seems to have a single and then half an hour of filler to make it LP-length. Lynn’s voice is amazing, and the twanging country backing is nice enough, but it really is just more country. I can’t possibly say that this is anything more than ‘good’. The title track is enjoyable (given it lended its name to the album) and Get What’cha Got and Go was surprisingly good against the general country haze of the remainder of the album, but that’s all there is to it. Of course, it’s not trying to be anything more than a simple country album for your American Dream home stereo system, and in that respect it does very well.

Solid Country, good voice, sometimes too much...themes are always the same (wrong men apparantly)

Some fun tunes!!

Old country twang is very much not my style, but I have to acknowledge that Loretta Lynn was very talented - and for the style, this album has great variety (upbeat and slow).

Lawd save me from this honky-tonk anguish

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

too slow and didn't like the tone of her voice, found her kinda screechy

Boring aah country

Redneck music. This is what Trump and MAGA voters listen to. I think she supported him in 2016. We need to judge music mainly on artistic terms, but sometimes it is not possible. Plus, this album really sucked.

Ehhhhhhhh, not really a fan of this one. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it teeters the line between ok and just plain boring. Idk, consider me filtered I guess lol Low 6

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

Heute würde sie den alten Säufer und Fremdgeher rausschmeissen... Ne, dieser verstaubte Mist ist nicht zu Ertragen.

Old school country

Lowly country, sad and thick, not something I’d put on often but I think her voice and the instrumentals lead this album well. 2.7

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

I'm enjoying listening to essential classic country albums through this project. I didn't know anything about Loretta Lynn or any of her songs before this. She has a great voice and this is a good collection of songs. It's interesting that she was once a feminist icon releasing a song like The Pill in 1975, but now supports the party actively working to take women's rights away with her full chest. I'm still rating this 3 stars as I'd planned, but that's incredibly disappointing.

Shite. Turned it off halfway through. Low 1.

This is exactly the music that people talk about when they say how much they despise country music, it's truly awful. I feel like someone needs therapy after listening to this, hopefully it's not me. At times it seemed that the music and singing were entirely disconnected, with no attempt to even sing on key. Initially I figured that this was less than thirty minutes long, so just how bad could it be? Turns out that those thirty minutes felt more like thirty hours and songs that only lasted around two minutes felt like they dragged on forever. I actually found this a bit depressing, maybe the lyrics, possibly the absurd lack of talent on display, it could even be knowing that Loretta was a Trump supporter. Anyway, one star for this dated and quite repulsive offering.

No

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

Rating: 5/10 Meh.

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.

This might be the most Country album title of all time. Short enough to save it being a 2

There’s not a lotta lovin’ going on after I come home a drinkin’ tbf. Prefer Lurleens tunes tbf. Simpsons: The character of Lurleen Lumpkin is kind of based on her.

Pleasant album, good length so I didn't get bored.

old school country that's not for me.

I liked it

A collection of decently performed country weepies.

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.

Normally when every song is identical on an album that’s a Negative, but for some reason it didn’t bother me with this album. Loved these country songs about heartbreaks and shitty dudes!

Pretty by-the-numbers old country. Kind of cute, but generally one note and a bit schmaltzy.

I did like it, but it wasn't a groundbreaking experience.

Simple, bright, and doesn't overstay its welcome. Great iconic voice backed by sunny instrumentals. Rating: 3.5

I'm not really a country fan, but wow! Loretta can sing!

not into 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.

At least it's short.

Good

Ui gad nomol country He sie singt crazy guet aber es lauft sich scho chli tot

Not my jam

yes

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.

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

ok. country

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

a rym genre tag on this is "Honky Tonk". this is gonna suck shit so bad im not excited to listen to this girl get a divorce im beggin you

real good. i wrote a whole review but it got deleted

Speak your truth Loretta!!

Good country, altho would get a bit repetitive towards the end.

Great tunes.

2.9

Sad, beautiful, classic.

good

Steel guitar heaven. Great old time country classic.

First of all, this might be the greatest album title of all time. I imagine this is a landmark album for feminists. I don’t think there would many if any records filled with songs of a woman telling men she’s sick of their shit. So respect for that. However, it’s very campy and oldtimey. Honky Tonk hasn’t aged well and Ms. Lynn didn’t write the majority of the songs, which defeats the purpure 3.8/10

Loretta Lynn’s vocals are an absolute classic, I’m always pleased to hear her voice. The music is well-produced and the entire album sounds spotless. At a certain point, I desire more of a raw sound when it comes to country, so this album doesn’t do a ton for me. But enjoyable nonetheless.

A lot of really good stuff came out in 1967 that pushed music significantly forward. This was not one of those things. Loretta seems like she was pretty popular, and her voice is nice enough, but frankly this is boring. It's old country, mostly covers (as was fairly typical). I would describe the tempo as 'plodding' throughout. The first song is the hit, and it's decent, but there's just very little that catches my attention after that. No major hate to Loretta, but this isn't it for me. Favorite song: Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind) Other: I Really Don't Want To Know, I'm Living In Two Worlds 11/14/24

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

Worth a listen.

She probably gathered a lot of attention back in the day for some of these songs.

Just no.

I enjoyed it quite a lot indeed

It's certainly an album. It's got songs and stuff. They don't make em like that anymore. One will do.

Country music generally isn't my thing, but I do enjoy some of this older stuff.

Songs were short, her voice is perfect for country. Subject matter and songs themselves got a little repetitive/boring.

I like this for the good, old fashioned country music that it is. Lots great lap steel playing, and Lynn has got one of those classic country voices. 3.4/5

Decent album. Not really my genre. I do respect it though. 3/5

Нормально, но не сильно мое

It wasn’t bad, but hard to get too excited about.

Whiny piece of trash

De la musique respectable, mais ultimement que je me demande en quoi ça se démarque de tellement d'autres albums country. 6/10

Terrible.. Sugar coated old-school country. It’s just too much

I enjoyed the singing, though the sound overall felt a bit repetitive to me. Favorites: Saint to a sinner, I'm living in two worlds

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.

go off sis!!!!! that was a great album, great storytelling, clever lyrics, good sounds all around. and such a journey from start to end, im almost at the edge of my seat waiting to hear what happens next but also omg girl just let that man go... dump him!!!

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 legendary and pioneering country singer. No surprise to see one of her albums in this list. Is this the best one? I don't know. An album full of hurtin' songs.

Sure whatever

This songbird knows all the feelings!

Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)

Очень устаревшая музыка, по звучанию и по теме. Я обещал себе поставить 1 звезды следующему хонки-тонк альбому два хонки-тонк альбома назад, но предыдущий был очень трогательным, поэтому. Лучшая песня - Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind).

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

Enjoyable traditional country music with an emphasis on the pedal steel sound.

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.

Love this album. Loretta the GOAT

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.

Short and sweet. Nothing great. This is in that 2-3 range and I'll round up for its brevity.

Love the album cover looking like a cookbook from the 50s that probably specializes in Ham Jell-o Salad. This is definitely music that stay at home housewives used to listen absolutely nuked off of Valium while cooking the aforementioned salad.

Listening to this just after I got to the airport and found out my flight is delayed 1.5 hours so apologies if I'm harsh. I like her voice and as far as country goes it's pretty good. But pretty good country music still kinda sucks. Flight just got delayed another 30 :(((((( High 2. Also I hope she left whatever dude she was with when singing these songs.

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.

Very much another "of it's time" kind of album. Unimpressive, boring, and not worth noting by today's standards. Fav Track: Saint To A Sinner

Not my favourite genre, but the talent is there

4 for her voice, 2 for the repetitive nature of the songs. 1 for all the men mentioned.

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

Very country western! She has a nice voice but definitely uses too much vibrato. Also, all the songs sounded kind of the same.

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

No notes Loretta Lynn is a boss

“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.

There's something so comfortable and enjoyable about 50s & 60s country, like a warm blanket on a cold day.

Loretta. Go to marriage therapy cuz writing an album in spite of your spouse is NOT THE WAY TO GO. You’ve gotta diversify your lyrics more too.

Good ol' country blues.

2 stars

Qué es esta maravilla???!

Surprisingly I kind of liked this. She has a nice voice. Harmonization was beautiful.

Dated and not for me

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

Solid classic country song writing with the most twangy vocals and instrumentation. Dinosaur!

I imagine Lurleen Lumpkin in the Simpsons. While this is good and very entertaining it’s extremely one note. The whole album is basically one long song.

meh

Disappointedly bog standard.

I had enough after first 30 seconds. What the hell is this, why do people listen to it at all?

What a horrible day to understand English

I find it difficult to talk about an album like this - it's so ordinary in this lane of '60s country music. That's not to say it was unenjoyable - it was quite peaceful and quick 30 minutes. I've listened to Loretta Lynn's music before with her 'Coal Miner's Daughter' album, primarily because I like Dolly Parton, another Nashville Sound artist. There's something almost too traditional about this album - musically it's quite static and doesn't bother exploring any new avenues. Loretta's vocals are the real highlight here, she's perfect in this lane, especially on a song like 'The Devil Gets His Due'. Aside from that nothing stuck out - it was chill though.

Absolute crap. How can the nation the produced Dylan and Paul Simon produce this?

Very country and very western. It was the perfect length for a single spin but this kind of music annoys me in longer doses.

Back when women in country had a backbone.

Absolute legend of country music.

Very comforting.

Not my style

Not my cup of tea

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

Classic country style, great vocals and really solid all round

Pure God given talent. Pure American music.

The lyrics aren't too subtle. Sounds like a rough life. Glad the album was shorter than a TV show.

Not much to like, except it was over in less than 30 minutes

oooooo country girlie break up with him

Niet de vibes

The least country-sounding country album title ever.

u can tell from a mile away that its mostly meant to be a showcase for a great voice, but it Is a great voice, with great performance decisions thruout as well. idk enough about country music to know how to judge the backing players....they seem fine but if theres anything great going on there its wasted on me. this goes rly hard on the sad and mistreated lady vibe for the most part which even considering the short length does lose momentum after a while. its v cool that three of the most memorable tracks (especially in terms of lyrical perspective) have a writing credit from lynn herself!

Bit of a hard one to rate because I really can't see why anyone would listen to it today... I'm sorry😭 But like, she's right! And I hope she leaves him! But the guitar does sound like Spongebob

Country music is not an easy listen for me!! The album is dated and just boring wirth lyrics that just dont relate anymore!

There's another review here explaining that this is why people don't like country music. And they're not half wrong.

I like her voice but the rating gets knocked down 1 because of the content of the songs. 2/5

Es gibt besseren Country.

Hard pass

4/5

J’aurais dû fermer ma gueule hier, décidément le générateur possède une âme sombre à l’humour tordu

There's really only one category of music I'm prepared to say I outright hate and it's country, but I did listen, and I am sad to say my hatred is justified. This is music for inbreds with Stockholm Syndrome marriages. It's so sickly and syrupy, and it's from 1967? That revolutionary year? It sounds like it could have passed without notiuce in 1947. Objectively the songs are straight ahead ballady stuff that could be done in any traditional style but even then none really caught my ear except to make me grimace at the weeping steel guitars. And it's message seems to be "men are so cruel, but well us gals just gunna have to deal with it". Maybe she's giving a voice to women in this situation but I don't care. Oh and it seems she was a Republican influencer of many decades standing, yeah that fits. How do I give minus stars?

7.5/10

It's all the same. Darlin'

Bonus tracks for the album: If you’re gunna cheat, at least do it to my face Winners never cheat, but cheaters never lose Cheat cheat (it’s all you do (but I love you))

Because country music is a style of music that is rigidly tied to tradition (or at least used to be), it’s difficult for me to tell if this is good, great, or just ok record…it sounds like many of the other country records from this era I’ve ever heard.

It’s fine. Whatever.

Decently enjoyable but the songs all sound the same

As someone going through a breakup, this album is phenomenal. It amazes me how the experience of being a woman has remained the same even through the generations. Incredible listen.

A good country record with a great lady lead and a fantastic guitar player. Grady Martin is my new hero! The songs didn't quite make it to 4 star quality for me but it was close. I understand why some people find this kind of music hard to listen to - it's from a forgotten era in many ways and the subject matter seems kind of foreign sometimes, let alone the sonic aesthetic which is so far removed from the 'country' vibe of the last few decades. Still I agree with the book blurb this is a brave and courageous record from a brave and courageous woman.

Nice country album, though it is not a genre I particularly care for. Her vocal performance stands out which is stellar.

Not my thing, but not absolutely terrible. First song sounds like a 60s version of Its not Fair by Lily Allen. Happy it's over, nothing saved. Guessing the album help womens empowerment, good if so. 1.5*

J'ai vraiment pas aimé

Pretty good

One of the greats. A voice that just sings that stereotypical country music sound. Now I just need to find my jug, sit on a log and listen to songs about women being wronged. And forget she was a Trumper.

This kind of Country Music is the reason I don't like Country Music.

Some clever writing, but still country. I think I heard the same song 4 times.

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

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.

For the most part it is a bit of the female empowerment formula with slow old school country... certainly a heavy country slant of the "these boots were made for walking" tone. Loretta's voice is nice, but the subject matter feels cliched without being too interesting.

Not for me

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!

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.

Sure

Pretty much what I was expecting. Great album length.

Cute fun and I like it but doesn’t do anything crazy for me. 7/10

4.5/10 - It sounded exactly like the George Jones album but with a different singer, which I liked a little bit less. However, I was not in the mood today to be listening to this. Also I am surprised by the amount of songs that are in this style with lyrics about sex but in the least vulgar way possible yet they cover topics like cheating.

I know Vardaan’s gonna like the length of this one
