I just listened to a few of Ms Lynn's legacy--including her signature "Coal Miners Daughter". I hope no one takes what I am going to say in any way other than how it is meant. I am not a devote fan of country music and many of country artists are not schooled---they are "home made" and their voices reflect that. That said---many of them (Dolly Pardon is another) convey a feeling of honesty in what they do that is often missing in the more technically perfect performers. Simply put, these folks do it with love and a completely open statement of this is who we are---and there are no apologies.
I don't see a lot of movies---but I did see "Coal Miners Daughter" and I thought it was outstanding---it conveyed that honesty

I dislike Country Swing but love the classic country acts, including Loretta Lynn. I picture her now singing with Patsy Cline, Dusty Springfield, and Tammy Wynette.
I married a coal miner's daughter and do not regret it.
