Coal Miner’s Daughter was probably the most critically acclaimed album in the career of country star Loretta Lynn. The autobiographical title would be used again in the later film about her life.
“I'm admittedly not the hugest fan of country music but I do like some of the more traditional sounds of yesteryear when the genre had more soul. Few women had more soul than Loretta Lynn did in the day. She had that perfect sad and sombre voice that reeked of sincerity, and was perfect for both the Nashville Sound and gospel that she was famous for.”
“Coal Miner's Daughter was one of her biggest hits in terms of the single as well as the album. Although I’ve always loved the single, it is quite a surprise that the album is full of tracks that are equally as strong and could easily have topped the country charts. Loretta’s dramatic vocals, playing with the slide guitar and honky-tonk rhythms, results in a mesmerizing classic sound that more than delivers the goods.”
“The success of this album is that there is no filler. Loretta chose do covers for most of the songs and although I’m not familiar with all the original versions, I can say that she nails every single track on here and makes them her own.”
“This is one of those standout albums when Loretta Lynn is at her best vocally and musically, at a time when she was at the top of her career. It is albums like this one that explain the superstardom of Loretta Lynn, and this one does not disappoint.”
“Loretta was never more appealing and has never sounded better. Every song on here is a keeper. This is vintage stuff.”
