Loretta Lynn is planning new music. It will be the first album for the 82-year old country diva since the Jack White produced Van Lear’s Day in 2003.
Loretta Lynn will add to her history of over fifty studio albums under her new contract with Legacy Recordings.
Legacy, the catalog division of Sony Music, has branched out in recent years to add new music from classic artists. For the new contract with Lynn, plans are to release a number of albums recorded over the last seven years at Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville, TN.
Since 2007, Loretta Lynn, her daughter Patsy L Russell and John Carter Cash have been working together on a project that travels back and explores Loretta’s musical history, from the Appalachian folk songs and gospel music she learned as a child, to new interpretations of her classic hits and country standards, to songs newly-written for the project. Drawing inspiration from personal memories and deep connections to American music, Lynn’s new recordings capture the essence of these songs in intimate new performances, the way they might’ve sounded growing up in the 1930’s and 40’s in Butchers Hollow, Kentucky.
The first album is planned for next year and will be the singer’s first new studio recording in 11 years, since the Jack White produced Van Leer Rose (2004).
Lynn has one of the great legacies in country music with thirty top ten Country albums along with eight more with singing partner Conway Twitty. She has had 39 top ten singles and 12 with Twitty including such classics as Don’t Come Home Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind), Coal Miner’s Daughter, You’re Lookin’ at Country and Louisianna Woman, Mississippi Man.
