Loretta Lynn's "Full Circle" Will be Her Last Album
Loretta Lynn's first album dates back to 1963. At age 83, Lynn is still touring, singing and recording. But don't expect her to be releasing albums for very long, her nw album Full Circle, which arrives on March 4th will be her last.
Speaking to Billboard, Lynn explains: "I've got a whole houseful of kids and grandkids, and I'm doing a lot of this for them," Lynn said. Though, she plans to keep working "for a long time," she said. "I feel great. I thank God every day that I'm in good condition."
Full Circle follows on the heels of her Gospel album released last year. Last year on April 14th, Gaither Music released Hymns and Gospel Favorites. The album gathers Lynn's recordings of hymns and spiritual songs she has had recorded throughout her lengthy career. Some of the highlghts include Lynn's touching autobiographical ballad "If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again," "Who Says God is Dead" and "I Believe."
This timeless collection captures the honest, colorful strains that have made Loretta Lynn a household name, trendsetter and recording icon. These treasured songs of faith highlight her unmistakable, heartwarming voice that has been bringing audiences to their feet for decades.
With Full Circle, Lynn offers 13 new songs with two covers from her own reportoire. The first is her own hit "Fist City" and the second being an updated take on "Whispering Sea," the first song Lynn ever wrote, which was originally released in 1960 as the B-side to "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl."
Recorded in the Cash Cabin Studio, which Johnny Cash built on his own spread of Tennessee countryside in the late Seventies, Full Circle was co-produced by daughter Patsy Lynn Russell and family friend John Carter Cash. The result is an album that doesn't necessarily stretch Lynn's legs, as the Jack White-produced Van Lear Rose did more than a decade ago, as much as celebrate her strengths.
For fifty years now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful-and as culturally significant-as any female performer you'd care to name. Her music has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. The Coal Miner's Daughter-the tag refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn herself-has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon.
