Loretta Lynn roams around the US
Country music icon Loretta Lynn is keeping a steady pace on the road as she visits a handful of US cities each month through the fall.
Lynn's next gig is April 11 in Davenport, IA, and her current schedule has her playing a smattering of theaters, casinos, festivals and fairs around the country through late October. The itinerary includes a few shows at her own Loretta's Ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. Details are listed below.
The singer has also saved the date for her June 19 induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York City.
After taking a hiatus in the '90s to care for and then morn her late husband, Doolittle, Lynn reemerged with her 2004 album, "Van Lear Rose," which was produced by alt-rocker Jack White. The record reached No. 2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and brought Lynn a whole new generation of fans. It also won two Grammys: Best Country Album and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for the single "Portland Oregon," a duet with White.
Lynn, who will celebrate her 73rd birthday this month, became a major star in the '60s and '70s with gutsy gal tunes including "The Pill," "You Ain't Woman Enough (to Take My Man)," "Fist City" and "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)." Her signature song, "Coal Miner's Daughter," topped the country charts in 1970 and became the title of Lynn's 1978 best-selling biography, which was later made into an Oscar-winning film.
By the time she released her last hit record of the '80s, "I Lie," Lynn had logged 52 Top 10 singles and 16 No. 1 songs, according to her bio.
