History
Loretta Lynn sang in a hard Appalachian accent she never sanded down, with consonants that land like they are being dropped, and she wrote about a life most country singers of her era described from a distance. She grew up in a coal camp in eastern Kentucky, married very young and had children before she started performing, which is why her songs read as reports rather than sentiment. Coal Miner's Daughter turned her childhood into a plain narrative with no self-pity in it, then became a book and a film that won an Academy Award for the actress who played her. Her other great subject was marriage as a fight worth winning: You Ain't Woman Enough is a warning to another woman, Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' is a door closed on a husband, and later songs about birth control got her banned from some radio stations. The arrangements stayed traditional, fiddle and steel guitar behind a voice that hides nothing. She was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame and kept recording into old age.
