Loretta Lynn, the coal miner’s daughter whose decades of singing, songwriting, recording and touring made her “the undisputed Queen of Country Music,” died Tuesday at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, her family has announced. She was 90 years old.
Born April 14, 1932 in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, Lynn was a self-taught guitarist and songwriter who was already a mother of four by the time she became a Nashville fixture in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Her songwriting drew from her own experiences as a wife, mother and, of course,, as on her all-timer of a 1971 album. Its title track, “Fist City” and “Don’t Come Home A’ Drinkin’ ” were just three of the 16 #1 country singles she released.
Lynn had just celebrated her 90th birthday in April, where friends and peers including including Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, Maren Morris, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, Brandi Carlile, Carole King, Martina McBride, Tanya Tucker and Ashley McBryde had paid tribute to the artist.
LorettaLynn Loved Loretta. Lynn.
