tried and true
I can't really add to what's already said concerning this album, except to say that I think its an important album in one very important regard. Country music in the '80s started pulling away from their elder statesmen, in a most baffling and disrespectful manner. No other genre is this classless or callous. Every other genre of music embraces their pioneers and still includes them in their playlist. Country radio on the other has a severe case of ADD. This pass-the-black-hatism is still in full force today, as most country fans have never heard the Van Lear Rose album, even a track of it, on country stations.

Now having stated that, is this the greatest country album of all time...no. That's a scewed assesment since country has never been album oriented save for a scant few gems. This may well be Lynn's best album, but that's not a huge accomplishment by country standards, since country has always been a 'singles' oriented business, unless of course its a 'best of' compilation. It is very much a Loretta Lynn album in that she is still capable of writing frankly about infidelity. Lynn was the first female to address the other woman in a cheating song and she does so here very poignantly in "Family Tree", where she takes her children to the house of the woman who is "sleeping" with her husband to let the children see the woman who's "burning down the family tree" and stating "I'm not here to fight...I wouldn't dirty my hands on trash like you". This isn't new territory for Lynn but it is a path that she blazed and quite frankly, she's still the only one who seems to do it well (unfortunately for her, she's had first hand experience in these matters).

It's also important to make a distinction from this album and the last few works of Johnny Cash, with whom this effort is constantly compared. Cash's last efforts were not country albums, but Lynn's is every bit as country as anything she's ever recorded and save for a few thrashy guitar flourishes by Jack White, this effort would fit right along side of anything she's done. She's not a powerhouse vocalist anymore, but she represents herself very well and is not the aquired taste that Cash was on his last few albums.

The few poor reviews this album will recieve here are the result of people not appreciating Lynn's style in the first place and those who wanted a White Stripes styled album. Again, Lynn didn't need to mine any new territory since she still owns the territory and has no equal in an era of pre-fabricated paper dolls and black hats. This is a great country album that exhalts country music, a genre which deserves no credit for this album's existance.
I can't say enough ...
I can't say enough good things about this album. Up front, I'm a huge Jack White fan and his hand in it alone made me want to buy it. I grew up on Loretta and like most mountain girls "Coal Miners Daughter" was a song I began singing in the shower when I was five. So I was eager to see what the partnership produced.

I waited on this for a year (after hearing it was in the works). Lynn is as magical as always and that she chose to go in such a different direction, especially at her age (my grandfather is sorely disappointed) and at this point in her career was a brave move. But it worked. I don't do album reviews, and I'm no music guru. But I like what I like. White Stripes fans will love the album. So will country music fans who can appreciate the new twist.
Jack White's homage to true Country Music
Jack White appreciates classic country and bluegrass music. This is evident with his involvement in Goober and the Peas, contibuting to the Cold Mountain soundtrack, and even the sounds in his band, the White Stripes, particularly his latest album, Get Behind Me, Satan. Jack White also loves his own sound but not in a narcissistic way. In my opinion, this album has nothing to do with Loretta Lynn, specifically. Jack White wanted to give back to classic country and bring it back to modern radio for a whole new audience. He knew he could not do this alone, however. If he came out with a classic country sounding album, he could possibly alienate his rock fans, and the country music listening community would not respect it, nor him. Thus, Loretta Lynn comes into the picture. She is his muse because she IS classic country. From her upbringing to who she is today, she epitomizes all that classic country makes itself to be. She is simple, humble, earnest, and genuine, a true classy country woman in every way (he showcases her personality and spirit in her "story" Little Red Shoes).

Now in terms of classic country, the songs Loretta Lynn wrote are not groundbreaking. She covers a myriad of situations that have been done before by other artists, as well as herself, but don't let that stop you from taking a listen. Though the songs may seem cliche, that's what Jack White wanted. He wanted her to write from her country heart her country life experiences in a heartfelt, simple, and honest way, encompassing the aura of classic country. He took it upon himself to give it his own personal style to give it a modern flair, and he created an album that takes the listener on an emotional journey, from foot stomping hand clapping joy to lamentful heart-wrenching sadness. He did an excellent job capturing the true spirit of Loretta Lynn and re-introducing classic country to an audience who isn't familiar with it.
