Loretta Lynn: The Queen of Country Music

Loretta Lynn sang of fisticuffs with homewreckers. She sang about the melancholy that accompanies unwanted pregnancies. She sang songs about husbands who loved, but always the wrong woman. Mostly, she sang about home, and all that entails. It was this ability to connect with the broken hearts of her hearers that propelled her to stardom as the leading lady of Music Row.
