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

Has a melancholic feel to it, though I guess that's inherent to the genre. Don't know a lot about country but Loretta's voice feels nice.

YEEHAW! Classic country. Drinkin', fuckin' and fightin' in any order or even at the same time. Best Tracks: Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind), The Devil Gets His Due, I Got Caught

A good ol’ traditional country toe tapper. Lynn has a great voice made for this genre. Enjoyed it

Not half bad! in fact I kind of liked this one, Loretta Lynn may be my step into country music! Huh!

Classic country. Strong lyrics for a woman in the 1960's!

Another enjoyable country album. Short and easy to listen to.

Nice cooking album. First Aid Kit got some inspo here I recs

Buen disco de country. Sin más

It was okay. Lyrics were great if depressing, but I just couldn't take the way this album sounded after like 3 songs.

Anyone who has been unfortunate enough to live with me knows I bloody love Country music. Not the pandering nonsense of your Keith Urbans singing about fucking tractors when hes never driven one in his life but your great songwriters and performers like Dolly Parton, Kris Kristoffersen, and Johnny Cash. I'm aware of Loretta Lynn but had never really listened to an album. Luckily Loretta falls into the latter category. A nice collection of well written country songs. Unfortunately not by her- Dolly she ain't, but she sings them well enough. Not the best of its genre and doesn't do anything for me to stand out from the crowd. Highlight: The Devil gets his dues, I Got Caught 3/5

No nonsense country.

Country. Suave, alegre, melódico.

Love a classic country record like this.

3 - da will ich traktor fahren

wasn't bad.

Inmediatamente me recordó a June Carter pero después sí logré agarrarle su propio estilo. Country sufrido y romántico como debe ser, pero también es interesante su postura feminista (No llegues borracho, no me estés diciendo que nos vamos a casar, hoy me toca salir a mi). No sé si es revolucionaria en ese aspecto pero no conocía alguien que lo hiciera así de frontal. Un disco por demás agradable de 3.5 estrellas que se queda, tristemente en 3, por su probabilidad de que lo vuelva a poner completo. Songs: Tomorrow Never Comes, Don't Come Home A-Drinkin', The Foot Goes In The Other Foot Tonight

Great early country, if you like that. Surprised I haven't heard of her before.

I'm finally in a place I can enjoy classic country. Still don't vibe much with the modern stuff but the oldies be singing goodie to me these days.

Creo que el aspecto más interesante de este disco, además de los vocales de Loretta, es el tema de sus canciones. Son temas que hablan del empoderamiento de las mujeres, con todos los peros y asegunes que se puedan hacer considerando la época y lugar. Sin duda debió ser vanguardista. Mi calificación no está relacionada tanto a la “calidad” de la música, sino a mis gustos personales. Si bien volvería a escuchar el disco de nuevo, no me veo buscando escucharlo de forma activa.

Con tantos discos no creo que sea el único ni el mejor que vamos a escuchar, creo que está en la lista por el significado de las canciones más que por el estilo musical, tienen un mensaje muy fuerte hacia las mujeres que en aquel tiempo debió haber sido escandaloso tanto para el género musical como para la sociedad

¡Es como oír a Lurleen Lumpkin! Country del bonito, sin irse demasiado a las raíces — como lo que hemos oído de Gram Parsons — ni ponerse tan redneckoso como para sacar banderas confederadas. Sin embargo, desde la primera canción perdió credibilidad con su "But liquor and love, they just don't mix". ¿Qué clase de country es este?

it was tolerable for a country album

Short... lots of songs sound the same... lots of songs about unfaithful men

Great voice, but twangy country.

I enjoyed it!

This record was all about a dysfunctional marriage...over and over and over again. I get it, dude is a drunk.

lite mysigt sådär

Lovely lady

She seems fun.. Talented but pretty boring.

Heard before?:❌️ Will listen again?:❌️

Oh, I hope she gained the courage to do something... anything... about her(apparent) abusive relationship. Sheesh, those were some cringy lyrics. Admittedly, there were two songs I found myself singing to due to the catchy chorus, and I promise you all that's literally the only thing saving this from a rating in the cellar. Favorite Track: "Don't Come Home a-Drinkin'(With Lovin' On Your Mind)".

Pretty, sweet, calm but just so dated it's hard to enjoy more than superficially for me

This is #day774 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... oh well, another country record. I didn't hate it, though. Inoffensive rainy Monday morning listen. This is a 2 out of 5. Looking forward to #day775.

2 out of 5. Definitely has a bone to pick with men and I see why. She does have a nice voice still.

perhaps a rerecording five years later with better equipment would have helped, but as is the recording/mixing/mastering issues make an album that i don't otherwise have strong feelings about quite unpleasant.

Classic country sound, and a nice voice, but apart from that I cannot think of anything positive. Apparently in 2016 she said about Donald Trump "I just think he's the only one who's going to turn this country around.", and she might have been right about that one.

Faut arrêter avec la country!

★★½

This subgenre of country fucking sucks. Her voice is good though

A recency bias for sure, but Loretta Lynn is the poor woman’s Dolly Parton. The songs all sounded the same and only left me wanting Jolene and 9 to 5. RIP Dolly.

2.3/5

Kul texter och lite svängigt, men inget jag direkt skulle lyssna på utanför den här listan.

Härlig titel. Rätt trevlig men ominnesvärd musik.

Amusing title for an album. Think a lot of us can identify with that. Other than the title there is nothing here to get me excited about even after a nights drinking. American Country music is something I will never get on with even though I do like English Folk Music but for me the two genres are a million miles away from each other. 2/5 9/9/26

I love her singing, but I hate what she’s singing about. This is the subject matter in country music that I don’t care for; I just don’t relate to a single one of these songs.

FIne Friday afternooon listen I suppose.

No fav song

Great voice, classic sound, but blehhh. This feels like music for church goers. Like if Loretta Lynn knew me, and like really knew me she would probably hate my ass lmfao. But who knows, maybe its all a facade.... Loretta Lynn secretly a stoner? We might never know! Atleast it was quick and done with. Id rather listen to Dolly.

My first act as Supreme World Leader will be to outlaw all country music and erase its memory from the Earth. 1.5/5.0

Country used to not be about drinking beers and your Ford-150s. Still bad though.

Sadly country just isn't for me, not to mention the lyrics...

Dog walked in while this was playing, briefly sat down, looked at the speaker nervously a few times, then left. I can't totally blame him; I also struggle to get on board with old twangy country music. Good for Loretta for calling out the shitty men in her life. The jangly piano is kinda fun when it pops up. I appreciate the short runtime (which is not exactly a compliment). Other than that, this was a struggle to get through. 2.2

The Good: We get to stay at the bar and get sloshed! The Bad: Showing up at home, drunk as a skunk, the door remains locked… The Ugly: Well… if you can’t get lovin’ at home… Is this album on the list because we really need to hear the entire album, or could this have been a mistake and Mr D mistakenly swapped his 1001 songs to get drunk to list? My finger started twitching by the time song two was half-way through, and it didn’t stop twitching till the album was over… which, seeing as the album lasts about as long as an elephant’s fart, it isn’t that bad. Still, this album tested my willingness to listen to each and every song. Tragic story, Loretta’s life. Glad she was able to make a good living. Me, happy that this ordeal is over with… 2*

bem música do bo3 zombies tem uma vibe legal!! mas acho que quem curte country deve aproveitar mais o álbum, particularmente, não tive vontade de salvar nenhuma música especifica escutei enquanto cozinhava e me senti uma loira conservadora peituda do sul dos estados unidos usando avental rosa pra assar biscoito

I felt like I needed to square dance against my will. Also this woman desperately needs better taste in men.

Pues al menos tiene un toque Lynchiano por ahí…

Too country for my blood. Nice vocals and guitar though. Just not my thing. Sorry Loretta.

Very trad, one-paced country and even at under half an hour, I found it quite tiresome! Fine if you like this sort of thing but it's not for me!

Mercifully short but still took a few sittings to get through

If I were a beaten down southern belle unable to escape a toxic relationship, then I might identify with this album. Alternatively, if the mythical cafe Kelvinos was throwing a themed fancy dress country and western night, then this would make a strong bid to make the playlist. The former is not the case, and the latter, imaginary even as it is, is as likely to happen as Donald Trump coming out as a transgender Muslim. She has a nice voice. That aside, no thank you.

I call this trad country. Loretta has a great voice and the songs are well written for what they are I suppose, but I just don't connect with this style of country, and judging by the subject matter, Loretta must have dated some real gems.

Not for me

Not my thing.

She ain’t no Dolly that’s for sure

Not my thing. It gives me bad vibes with how the lyrics reflect the time period and how women were treated.

Boring and depressing song

This is the album that's playing on a loop in hell's waiting room.

a bit one-note record

Es lindo. Ella tenía una gran voz. Y realmente agradezco estar en este challenge que me trae álbumes que nunca hubiera escuchado. Tengo que ponerle 2/5 porque no lo volvería a escuchar. A menos que repita el challenge cuando lo termine.

2/10 Fun but I don't care for country

love me some classic country, but her voice was a bit much after a while

I can’t tolerate the twang longer than 28 minutes

Loretta can weave a story, just not relatable to me. Sorry.

Too country for my liking. This woman has 99 problems and her man is all of them

Lovely voice. Boring band. Unwholesome lyrics wrapped in conservative music. What Johnny Cash did for Hurt, maybe NIN could do for Loretta Lynn's backing band.

Sometimes you hear a song from the 60/70s and you’re blown away at how modern it sounds. Not the case here! Very much stuck in a point in time. Not my cuppa team but she can clearly sing

She really does have a nice voice, but nothing about the music behind it does anything for me. Luckily it is a short album but I could feel it drag for me towards the end.

Are there any healthy relationships in country music? A whole lot of drinkin' and a cheatin' and a shootin'. The album started strong for a cheesy, novelty number, but then every song starts to sound the same. All quite cheery guitars for songs about disfunctional marriage. Glad it's only 28 minutes long. Fair play to Loretta for her career, but not bothering to listen to any more.

ok

Technically competent - especially the singing - but tremendously boring despite having a fairly varied set of arrangements as country music goes. The tiresome, hand-wringing subject matter doesn't help.

Nice voice, shame it’s backed by country music and a healthy dose of tropes.

Je feel comme la house wife qui yearn pour son marie

wie zum Teufel können so viele Leute diesem Album 5/5 Sterne geben 😭😭😭

Yeah I'm sorry but country is not my thing. The only upside to this album is its length. At only 28 minutes I was still waiting for it to be over. Not the worst country ever, but not very note worthy Mid 2.

I mean ya, solid but country Will I listen to again: 5%

Great voice. Average tunes

If I was in the market for some good ole Country this would be high up on my list. But I'm really not. Do check out Loretta's Fist City though!

nice but it is so short

komische country. Grappige teksten, maar doet me niet heel veel

Legendary voice. Boring album

5/10 - very similar to Dolly Parton I guess, it's ok

Not as bad as some of the country shite on this list, but still a bit boring.

I was previously familiar with Loretta Lynn but not really much of her music. I may have heard the title track before, but most of this was new to me. While I can respect this, it honestly is not the sort of music I would choose to listen to. She has a nice voice, and these songs were fine but I would not listen again.

Not a big fan.

This was fine. Just not my thing. Big ups feminism though

You tell em queen don't put up with his BS you don't need no scrub

This wasn't for me

3.5/10 -I respect Loretta for stepping into a male dominated space but the traditions and trends of Country music aren’t enjoyable to me. I wouldn’t come back to this.

Absolutely hilarious whiplash from going from NWA yesterday to this today.

I'm sorry, but we could have used a different batch of songs here . The songs are not there .

Nice album, but why was she so sad? 😢😢🤗BIG LOVE 💕

Sounds like LL needs to find her a new man. Not a fan of this era / genre of country music.

Not a fan, however, the musicians on this album were phenomenal.

I liked her voice but I felt very bored

Not familiar with Loretta Lynn, but the poor girl seems to be a magnet for toxic relationships. Loretta's band sounds great -- I suppose when you're on your ninth album you can get some pretty decent musicians to record with you. Strangely it's Loretta's singing that is the weakest link. Her voice is pretty enough, but she sings with a forced sound that produces a that wobbly out of control vibrato. You can hear some hoarseness in some tracks that she is singing through which I'm sure is exasperated by her poor technique. A few sessions with a good voice coach would clear this all up. Didn't love this album -- country music is a tough sell for me.

I found this to be pretty boring, honestly. Fine enough lyrics and the band is alright but this sort of thing is hardly interesting to me and I can’t think of any reason why I’d put in on of my own accord. 1 listen

#374/1001. Will take this note and move on.

Old school country songs about a kissin’, cheatin’, and heartbreak. Loretta’s originals are the best songs on the album, which unfortunately does not hold up well. (1.8*s) She was proud to be a coal miner’s daughter…

I wanted it to be great

In other words, don't expect to go on the lash, come home, and have it off Mr! Which was quite bold in 1966 I imagine, hence the song reaching number 1 on the Billboard. But there is something of a dated novelty value to that, although it retains a bit of cheek even by today's standards. Her other two originals, aside the title track, don't resonate as well - 'I Got Caught' and 'Get Watcha Got and Go' revert to more typical country lyrics, although the latter in particularly has a nice bounce. Aside from a couple penned by Lynn, which is an achievement in itself for the time, the covers are generally benign, unnotable affairs with in well-trodden Nashville formula, with a band that I'd describe as professional. Loretta does have a cracking voice, especially on some of the slower numbers when a touch of velvety grit comes out, such as 'I Really Don't Want to Know'. Overall dated and dull.

Really not my cup of tea. Can appreciate it for what it is and the themes … but man I really dislike country

2.5 - ok

Poor Loretta! If these songs were based on her life experiences, wow! Type of thing my Mum used to listen to. Great voice but musically not for me.

284 Great voice but not a style of music I particularly enjoy. Highlights Saint to a sinner I got caught

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Trad. country that doesn't quite move me. Not bad but really nothing that would separate this from any of the other this style/era country music

Im living in two words

All I know so far is that this lady has a rocky relationship with her partner. But without diving deeper into it, she keeps on singing along and trying not to dwell too much on the fact that she's living in a deeply unfulfilling relationship. It's ok country music. For me, ok country music is still meh music.

Yeah, I don't know, some of it is pleasant if a bit twee, didn't seem particularly remarkable to me.

Nice listen but very old school country

That was so very country, it was the most country you could possibly get in 28 minutes. It wasn't bad though.

Thank you for keeping this nice and brief. Mostly 2-minute country standards that she jangles through with a nice voice and nothing else really remarkable about it. The first song is notable (and the book more or less states it's the sole reason this album is included) as a bit of a dark cautionary tale that remains sadly relevant today by which time men really ought to be doing better. But here we are. Treat yer women nice, boys.

file d'attente d'un ancien train de la mine aaah playlist

Ugh. Man, I don't get country. Respect to LL (the OG LL I suppose).

NOt one of her bests, I reckon

Хз, що слухав що не слухав

This is not for me.

I enjoyed Loretta's voice but the lyrics just made me cringe. If her man goes out drinking he better go find another woman to sleep with because she refuses. But she's heart break because he's cheating on her. But she loves him. But she's going to cheat on him back. It's glorifying this twisted thinking that Trad wives get trapped in where they feel they have to be loyal to their shitty husband while he gets a free pass to do whatever he wants. I guess there's some resolution when she cheats back on him at the end?

Mid

Not for me…

⭐⭐+ Inte dåligt men det blir väldigt mycket samma både musikaliskt och framförallt textmässigt. På rak arm tror jag inte en enda låt inte handlar om otrohet. Rösten är bra och berättandet är detaljerat. Men det blir för mycket old school country för mig, samt för endormigt. Bäst är kanke Titelspåret, The sho goes on the other foot, The devil gets his due och I got cought.

It’s fun to listen to this stuff to appreciate the history of music contextually but it’s a bit of a bore.

Gammel country med Loretta Lynn, en kvinne som har gitt ut over 50 studioalbum. Likevel forholdsvis ukjent for meg. Ikke akkurat noen høydare i det store år 2026. Top 3: Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’, I Got Caught, There Goes My Everything

It was fine.

It’s fine? But I’ll pass, won’t need to hear this again.

Conceptually I found this album very interesting. I find that a lot of people try to view this album from a modern perspective, but I think context of the time is very important for a piece like this. Women's rights in 1967 still had a long way to go, women couldn't easily get divorced and couldn't even open up there own bank account. Modern listeners question why she doesn't just leave his toxic ass, but it really was not that simple for a woman in the 60s. This album is a radical feminist statement for it's era giving a voice to the voiceless woman stuck in abusive marriages. With all that said, musically I did not care for this. It was alright for country standards, but I am in no way a country fan. Country from a male perspective could easily get 1 star. It would be interesting to see this album reworked in a Riot Grrl style, keeping the feminist message, but upping the energy. My biggest complaint is that a lot of the songs sound exactly the same. Favorite Track - Get What 'Cha Got And Go Least Favorite Track - I Really Don't Want To Know (or one of the other songs that sounds exactly like this one) ⭐️⭐️

Not a fan of country music.

Nice vibratto but 30 minites of complaining and romanticizing a toxic relationship is bleh

Heavy metal da época

Une bonne vieille country girl avec une belle voix. Elle est surtout vue comme une pionnière de son temps, parce qu'elle avait pas peur d'écrire des chansons autobiographiques portant sur des thèmes comme la fidélité et l'avortement. Bien que très écoutable, ses chansons ne viennent pas tant me chercher que cela. On est entre le 2 et le 3.

Seems okay for a 60’s record-but not my thing!

I genuinely have nothing of note to say. Loretta Lynn has a very nice voice, that's about it.

It is a solid country listen. Loretta has a great voice in the record and the album is interesting throughout. 7/10 [SWAP]

Pleasant to listen to, but not really for me and all the songs are basically the same song.

Short and sweet. Enjoyed Loretta’s singing. Just a shame the songs finish before really getting their claws in me

I find the sound of each song very repetitive. Lyrics are cliched. Although maybe not back in 1967. Perhaps it was groundbreaking then?

it´s ok, like a good meal, but unseasoned, but I would put on a background. Today´s bird: Red Knobbed Coot

Can’t remember a thing.

Not a country fan at all, this was alright, the production was pretty good for 1967. She has a nice voice but a bit too much vibrato. Overall a 2 I suppose just since I'm not a country fan.

I am not a Country fan. Her voice is good, and the playing throughout is top-notch, but it's just not a sound I enjoy. 2 stars.

Whatever.

fav songs: i really don't want to know tomorrow never comes i’m living in two worlds heartbreak, twangy, love 40/100

Very samesy across the album and didn't do too much for me.

No. Just no.

2.5 not bad reminds me of elvis

That good ol' boys music

60

Country, 1967 -> 2

1,5

Well, it’s better than I feared but worse than I hoped. My reaction to the first song was saying “I think I’m too gay for this” out loud lmao. There’s some cool steel guitar work and I Really Don’t Want to Know is a really sweet love song but this album generally didn’t make me feel anything

Lynn's voice is fine, but I found these songs very homogenous. Just not a lot of variety, made for a relatively uninteresting album.

These old time country albums remind of being a kid in Kokomo. Dee, Gloria and Judy music. Can't say I like it, but it reminds me of some wonderful mothers. Not going to bash a legend, but this isn't really anything I would seek out. Also makes me think, would I ever been introduced to Prince and the likes, if I stayed? Would I have an open mind in closed mind state? Anyway, wear something purple and remember, I only want to see you laughing in the Purple Rain. A legendary artist. Just like Prince, but in a much different way. And that's OK! But for me, this album is a 2. 2

2.5 Well, I suppose it’s about time another classic country album shows up on this list. It’s not my favorite kind of music, nor my least favorite, but I can confidently say I have no idea why this one in particular is represented here. While I’m obviously not any kind of expert, this doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything special or that’s adding to my greater understanding of the genre in any meaningful way - she didn’t even write the vast majority of the songs here. I know that’s not uncommon with country, especially from this era, but I’m reaching out for something to grab onto here. My best guess as to the relevancy of this album is likely the feminism about it. It certainly hasn’t aged well in some ways, but I do appreciate her calling out her guy (presumably - I don’t think gender is ever specified) for being a drunken ass, and hell, if he cheats, she’s going to go right ahead and cheat too. Only fair, isn’t it? Those were honestly the better moments on the album, and they also happened to be the only ones penned (at least partially) by Lynn herself, so I wish we could have seen more of that. The title track is far and away the best, but for all my Jawbreaker fans out there, I think the biggest charm it held for me was imagining it as a reverse perspective to Kiss The Bottle - or maybe Kiss The Bottle is the sequel after our guy comes home drunk one time too many. Should have been kissing her. That’s all I got. I appreciate that it made me think of Jawbreaker, but this album is pretty forgettable otherwise.

This doesnt paint american men from the 1960's in a particularly good light. I found it a weird misogynistic time capsule but didn't enjoy the music. 28 mins felt like 2 hours

I am familiar with her name but I never listened to her music. I don’t know if I wanted to. Now that I have I can say that it’s not my cup of tea.

Ik wil country een eerlijke kans geven. Maar een album met alleen maar dezelfde liedjes over je lief die in de kroeg zit, vreemd gaat, maar o zo lief is, werkt me op de zenuwen. Loretta kan goed zingen en ik snap ergens wel dat het een goede country act is, maar na 2 a 3 nummers had ik het hele album wel gehoord. 4/10

She has a great voice but not my thing

Will come back and listen

Get his ass Loretta

Girl 🫸

I cannot stand to see a woman bleed from the mouth, it reminds me of that country and western music, which I cannot abide

Nada fan del género, creo que es un gusto adquirido. No me gustó mucho, la verdad me costó acabarlo y eso que dura menos de 30 minutos. En fin, en gustos se rompen géneros

I liked how short it was. I did not enjoy this. To twangy.

Best Song: Donn't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind). There's a quaint absurdity to it that makes it worth a laugh, especially given that its at the beginning of the album. Worst Song: Making Plans. The premise of this song is that her partner is making plans to leave her, so her response is to make plans to be sad about it. It would maybe be funny if played ironically, but it has this pathetic, "little old me" earnestness that is just frustrating. Overall: The best part about this is that it is blissfully short. I feel like this style of music has almost no relevance to the modern day, and I would argue that's for good reason. So plodding and formulaic, with what always feel like the exaggerated caricature of emotion rather than its genuine expression. Music for the funerals of the elderly.

Loretta has a great voice. If I enjoyed country music or woman singing about shitty husbands I would have rated this album higher.

Mostly pretty boring. I just don't like slow country much.

Both boring and disturbing.

Just divorce this motherfucker

#820. I could almost copy/paste my review of that Dwight Yoakum album and just switch the pronouns. Because come on, the both of you- every song on the album can't be about how much your life sucks and how bad your partners are. That gets very tedious very quick. 2/5: nah

Not the best, some really old music

Not terrible but not very exciting either and all rather negative lyrically.

Definitely not my thing

One hit. Couple good songs. Some filler.

No va

I like old country, but not this old country. The trope of the battered woman who returns to her husband despite the bruises is strong here. Despite the fact that she sounds like Dolly, she lacks any inkling of empowerment, which makes this album a bust for me.

Her voice and music are great. The lyrics though...

Great album so far

She has a nice voice, but I. Just. Don't. Like. Country.

I wanted to like it more than I anticipated- no songs stuck out to me! Missed the mark.

Listens: 2 Standout Tracks: The Devil Gets His Due, I Got Caught You can't change my mind about country music being good. But, I will say, of all of the country music I've listened to so far, this sucks the least (ignoring Johnny Cash), weirdly. Unlike a metric shit ton of music coming out in the 60s about love, sex and women, you gotta give Loretta Lynn some credit for singing about infidelity/cheating, jealousy, relationship dependency, inappropriate relationships and a variety of shit that can go sideways in a relationship. She has a nice voice, and the subject matter is refreshing, so can overlook the twangy country music. If this was spun as like, a 1950s female Sinatra, I could really get behind it.

This was a bit too country for me.

Should probably leave this guy loretta

Good voice - songs very dull.

Gee I’m not having a good run lately, lots of one dimensional albums from icons of eras gone by and genres I don’t enjoy - Sinatra, Aretha and now Loretta. Again, sure, she has a great voice, but this style of country is just not my cup of tea.

simple fun music, depressing lyrics make it less fun

Her voice is great. She influenced a whole bunch of artists to come. But, this album... it just felt like slow ballad after slow ballad packed with really, really obvious and uninspiring break-up lyrics. If it changed up or switched rhythm or was just a little bit more energetic, maybe I would've enjoyed it a bit more. Despite being only 28 minutes, it felt like almost double that. This is the type of album that I'd probably pass by at a yard sale or a thrift store and not think anything of it, probably thinking it's another unc classic, which it is. It just didn't do anything for me in particular. Her vocals are still great though. Loved the somewhat more upbeat instrumentals of "Saint to a Sinner", "The Devil Gets His Due", and "I Got Caught", which really helped break up the monotony of the slow ballad after slow ballad, which took up most of the first half. Favs: Saint to a Sinner, The Devil Gets His Due Dislikes: Don't Come Home A Drinkin', I Really Don't Wanna Know, There Goes My Everything ...

2.5 I fully appreciate her talent and her contribution - just not my jam. Though, as with a lot of country, do love the humor in the lyrics.

I’ll give it a two because it’s Loretta Lynn but it’s not my jam at all.

This makes me think I am a trad wife with a cheating husband who I never leave because at least he doesn't hit me

Phew...

Not being a fan of country music as a whole, this would always have been a hard listen for me. Mix in the topics of the lyrics and the overall approach to the themes, and it feels very submissive to me. That being said, it's a hard no, one of the few albums I could not listen to through the end. One small ratings bump upwards because of the apparent historical impact it had, but not AT ALL something I would consider to be listeneable again.

Blech.

boring, odd inclusion

I get that it’s classic but it’s hard to like. The lyrics are about an incredibly toxic relationship.

I like the first song. Everything else was passable, but very unmemorable. I've heard it all done better before, all this did was recreate a 60s country pastiche. This album didn't have much to offer, so consequently I don't have much constructive criticism.

Decent listen but nothing memorable

Loretta, girl, go get a better relationship. Drinking, evy, he's cheating on you, you're cheating on him, it's clearly not very healthy. A bluesy down on your luck country somg here and there can be very powerful, but when the whole album is contextualized that way, it feels more manipulative towards the listener than anything. Or maybe everyone feels this way but it just so happens my relationships are healtier. The music is pretty good, I definitely like this classic country sound more and more as I hear it. It's simplicity just feels good. This album does all feel like the same song, however, so not sure how much I loved the full album. Tomorrow Never Comes is probably my favorite here.

A low 2 for me, it’s not really my thing and will not be revisiting the album

Depressing themes concurrent with the times, easy background listening if you don't listen to the lyrics. Not my taste though, wanted to listen to something else by Track 4.

I understand the historical significance of Loretta Lynn to country music. But pre-rock-infused, weepy, hate your man, hate your life, sorry for yourself doesn’t make for an album I want to hear. 2⭐️

I Really Don’t Want To Know // 1.5/5

It’s fine but maybe not my cup of tea

Surprisingly good for country music. She actually has something to say and there is just enough musical variety to make it through

Gostei muito da segunda música. A voz dela é boa e me remete a WandaVision. São músicas boas para se dançar com alguém

What in the kantri is this? Ensin valitusta kun mies juo ja pettää ja sitten päädytään itse pettämään. Get your life together lady Sanoja lukuunottamatta kaikki biisit kuulostaa samalta. Tai no...kantrilta

For today's 1001 albums to hear before I die, I got what is said to be an extremely influential Country album, yet I have never once heard the artist's name or the album title. Today I got Loretta Lynn's 1967 classic? Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind). This album looks, sounds, and feels like something you'd find at an estate sale listed for $20 with a shit ton of writing or scribbling on the cover and more cracks than a sidewalk in the sleeve. This is surely a "grandma essential" and I bet if you were to ask your grandparents they would probably tell you about hearing this project for the first time. Country has never really been my strong suit, but these long ballads really are putting me to sleep more than anything. If this had more changes in speed and even rhythm I am sure I could have gotten down with it more, but this album is one slow dance after another and it gets quite tiresome by the end of the 28 minutes. I really tried here y'all but I guess I'll have to giddy up to the next album without much more thought.

Solid life advice contained within the ups and downs of this country classic.

Какая скукотень...

I knew what I was getting myself into the moment I saw the album cover pop up, so I steeled myself as best as I could. I have tremendous respect for Loretta Lynn (and Dolly, and Tammy, et al). But this has to be my absolute least favorite genre of music. This specific whiny (vocally, lyrically, and musically), vibrato-laden subset of country. I just cannot stand it. I'm not taking the seconds to break it down. If her name wasn't Loretta Lynn, it'd be a 1.

I don't drink alcohol.

This is the sort of stuff my dad would have cassettes of in the car growing up. I dont mind a bit of country, but something about this one recalled a weird sense of motion sickness. Maybe the combo of her voice and the steel guitar. Not saying it's bad but I had to turn it off

Loin d'être l'album de country le plus relou. Après, ça reste de la country.

too much of the vocal warbling

Beautiful voice but I hate country music. At least every song was under 3 minutes.

Classic country...all pretty much the same IMO. Can be decent if you're in the right mindset, but often not a big go-to for me. 2.5/5

Basic classic country. It's fine. Her best song isn't on it, and she wasn't as good as Dolly or most of her male counterparts (at least in my opinion)

This one wasn't exactly a defining one in my project so far. The album is fine, but didn't do anything to be memorable for me.

I really don’t enjoy this type of music, but I can appreciate that fir those who love country, this would be a 5. Her vocals are distinct and lovely for sure.

Her voice is nice, but beyond the title track many of these songs aren’t memorable. It’s perfectly serviceable, but it feels padded and it’s not even half an hour long.

Vocals are fine, but this is some country-song-writing-by-numbers stuff going on (as with the Marty Robbins one we had a while back, and that was from 1959), and even in 1967 this must have felt pretty retrograde. Some great stuff came out of country, but this is banal

Yes, she was a country music legend. But all of these songs just blend together into sameness.

I can appreciate the talent here. I do like some classic country, but this is not really my style.

She's got a great voice, and the album doesn't overstay it's welcome, but I can't like this shit man. It's what gives country a bad reputation

hard to imagine anything else on the list having “mom vibes” as strong as this album cover’s. i don’t think i’m totally opposed to this style but nothing on this album connected strongly with me.

Nothing wrong with some good old fashioned country and Loretta has the voice and style to match it. Not something that appeals to me very much and not something I will listen to again though.

Hausfrauenversion von Johnny Cash. Viele depri-Texte, meist um Liebe und Gefühl. Vermutlich perfekt um im Selbstmitleid mit den anderen unglücklichen Ehefrauen der 50er Jahre Likör zu "genießen".

The production stands out immediately, for the wrong reasons. It's a bit blurry, very much a relic of its time. Definitely in need of a remaster - and the fact that it isn't suggests there isn't much demand for it. The compositions are fine, nothing standout for the mid/late-60s, but good enough. I would've liked a little more variety in instrumentation than a country-twang lead guitar, simple 1-5-1-5 bass part, extremely plain drumming, and the one singer (who, to be fair, is great) occasionally with some backing vocals. There's only so much you can really glean from an album like this through a modern lens. No variation, no commitment to an "album experience" as a singular piece of art... It's really just a collection of similar-sounding songs, most of which aren't originals. Is this really part of a list of the 1000 most important albums in history? I found myself hunting down tiny snippets of songs that made them stand out from the crowd - if even a little bit. The two-note interjective lick in The Devil Gets His Due. The fluttery, elusive piano part in I'm Living In Two Worlds. I Got Caught for ending the album on such a goofy upbeat note (and sounding nearly identical to the opening track - a bold move!). And Don't Come Home A-Drinkin, if only because it's one of her hits and is actually decently catchy. But the lyrics throughout this record aren't anything impressive, despite lyricism usually being a key focus of country music. 2/5 Key tracks: Don't Come Home A-Drinkin', The Devil Gets His Due, I'm Living In Two Worlds

Oh man I know I'm gonna struggle with this one. This kind of country is one of my least favorite types of music. It's going to be a 29 minute slog for sure. But at least it will be a short slog. And a slog it was. Maybe not quite as bad as it could have been, but still I will never like this kind of music. So not for me. 1.5/5

5/10 Very nice Sunday morning type of album but not a returner probs

Shorty you putting yourself through this willingly…leave???

Not bad, but I’m not a fan of any Country music. It all sounds the same winey steel guitar

Pretty stereotypical country, both music and lyrics-wise.

I guess this list is making me realize I harbor a degree of mistrust towards country music. People say the older stuff is supposed to be more real and authentic etc… but I’m just hearing self-pity and melodrama.

Just the same countrysong over and over, with slightly different lyrics, but all the same theme. It was okay to listen to, but not interesting, or fun.

Funny to realize how little Country music has changed in 60 or so years. This album had one redeeming quality that saves it from being one of the worst listens on this list, that being is its brevity.

Old country, not my kind of music. Everything was too similar, at least it was short. 2/5 Won’t listen again

No country for young men.

Тетя поет песенки свои

South/ middle America wife beatery music very trad wifey 2/5

A country album, each s one a story about, lost love, losing love or getting rid of love. Not really my thing but she has a great voice

Fun little country album

Gave up after a few tracks C&W not my seen

2.5

I feel like I’m the man Loretta’s always singing about. I’m guilty of everything she’s frustrated or upset about in all of these songs. Mostly, this album just reminded me of how much of a dick I am.

Possibly the most country album I’ve ever heard.

Damn girl. Who hurt you?

It’s hard to give this album a low rating because Loretta Lynn is an icon but this album just isn’t my taste at all. 2.5

This album is for sure a favorite of many grandparents. It's got conservative southern charm all throughout- who's to say white people don't have culture? Loretta's voice is stunning and the main 'draw'. -no pun intended- of this album. It certainly is not the songwriting, but the songs are charming enough for the audience back then. They mosey right along. Loretta's timbre can be quite spellbinding at times, the twang is undeniably rich. The instrumentals definitely have that Cracker Barrel® gift shop vibe. This album makes me feel like an armadillo wandering in circles. Tunes from yesteryear and a truly different time. Authentic southern charm. Don't Come Home a Drinkin' was a successful conservative boppy of our heyday.

378/1001 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

Country, and from a long time ago, is beyond what I would have selected. While I appreciated the album in terms of vocals, mixing so that you could hear the vocals, and instrumentation, it is unlikely to be something which goes in rotation. Thus, the 2 of 5.

In the original Blues Brothers movie Jake asks the owners of Bob’s Country Bunker what kind of music they have, the wife answers “both kinds, Country and Western”. This album also has both kinds.

I'm honestly surprised by how many albums open with the best track and then have all the rest be in a different style and worse. It shows that they knew what the best song was, so they put it first to pull in the listener, and then refused to make all the other in the similar style... Why? The opening song is actually pretty fun and energetic, which is when country works best, in my opinion. But the rest are just the same long notes sung with a rural accent and minimalist instruments in the background like in thousands other country albums. I don't care about vocals, so I don't find this style engaging. This album is just whatever, not something I would relisten. 5/10

4/10 - I can appreciate the gentle mellowness of this classic country album, however as someone who isn't the biggest country fan, I didn't particularly gel with it. I found the lyrics to have not much depth and the melodies were quite repeatable

We get it. You’re poly. The honkin and tonkin was fun but the lines were insufferable. Have your toxic relationships but please leave us barflies in peace. https://open.spotify.com/track/4ACS8SnOb3WDwtzNTxKMUB?si=d398337010bc4969

In a live setting this would be beautiful, as her voice is great. A lot of this, especially the slower stuff (aka most of the album), doesn’t resonate with me all that much.

man... kan dat wijf zagen zeg

No more old music pls but I didn’t listen so I can’t really rate harshly

I like Loretta's voice and how some huskiness comes out in the vocals. But hoo boy, the instrumentals are uninspiring and the lyrics are just toxic.

My first instinct was to designate this album artwork as the least inspiring cover of all time. But after finishing the album, now I'm questioning whether its actually satire? Because she looks like a prude preacher's wife, and the first half of the album sounds like a Taylor Swift album to me, where you have your songs about how your man is the most important thing in the world to you, and then you have your songs about being wronged by a lover/ex, etc, and willing to stick up for yourself when push comes to shove. But then as you work through the album, you realize that she isn't some hopeless romantic perpetuating the idea that women are only as good as their man - she's out on the town, cheating on her cheating man, and the whole works. And suddenly I'm wondering, is the prude on the album cover actually independent and fiery? Anyway, not the best music.

I'm sure this was a hit back in the day but it's just so dated now. Her voice is nice and it's your basic old country stuff, but meh. 4.75/10 (2.375/5)

That was no good.

As someone who loves country music, this just ain't it. The lyrics were good, especially for something as old as this. But the rest of it was just bad.

The type of country I could do without

extremamente chato. pelo amor de deus

mto legal pra quem gosta! achei um saco

Gets pretty boring

Ist nicht meins 2

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

paskaa

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

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.

Solid bit of early country. High 2s

Too twangy for me

אין שום דבר רע באלבום פשוט לא אוהב

היה בסדר לא מיוחד

beh

feel like there’s so many albums like this

Slow and sleepy old country

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

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.

Funny Country music.

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

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

Eh, old country music, nothing stunning

I like my country cheesier and more George Strait-esque

ok, regionalzão hillybilly pacas. 2

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.
