British guitarist analyses Loretta Lynn performing live back in 1966!

[@allen_p]

Loretta was smiling because she is essentially saying, Bring it on and you'll get your butt wooped. It's a smile of confidence. Great review.

[@sjwillis1137]

Yes .

[@teamcougars]

Allen Pape yep, and she wasn’t afraid to put her words into action.

[@holly7869]

I always remember that line from the movie, "If you wanna keep that arm you better off from around my man."

[@BelindaTN]

I so agree with this. Loretta is not one to be pushed. Once in an interview, she was ask about her husband, Do and his temper. For he was known to hit her. What would be considered today, abusive. She was ask why she stayed with him. She said she stayed, became we she was her husband, no matter what. Then she smiled and said something like, “besides, he never once hit me, that I didn’t hit him twice”. Lol She was right by his bedside in his last days. Loretta and Do grew up in The Appalachian Mountains of KY. Very very poor. The only way to earn a living was to work in the coal mines or make moonshine whisky. Both were very dangerous professions. Do recognized Loretta’s great singing and knew that was a way for them to get out of those mountains and to get them and their children and better life. And that is exactly what he did. Brought them to Nashville.

What an amazing video! Your respect and appreciation for good music (despite the decade or genre) is such a beautiful thing. I have loved Loretta my entire life (my parents were fans) and videos like this introduce her to a new generation. Quick story- In the early 70s, Olivia Newton-John's music started crossing over to Country radio in the U.S. In 1974, she won CMA Female Vocalist of the Year against Loretta, Dolly and Tammy Wynette. The backlash of a "foreigner" winning the most coveted industry prize was ridiculous. Most huge names in country were openly hostile and often venomous in their contempt. The one exception was Loretta Lynn! She was quoted in the media as saying, "Olivia Newton-John when you come to Nashville, you give me a call, and I’ll help you any way I can."

[@scottthomas9181]

Great post Fil sounds of my childhood before R&R my parents played country music in Dayton Ohio where i grew up. We are from Kentucky and Loretta is my moms hero and she sang this tune every show. Again your diverse taste in music shines through

Thanks for doing this video! Her songs are as popular now as when they were recorded for sure. I play bass and sing in a country band and do a few of her songs. Dance floor is packed when you start the song. Sometimes I stop singing in the part that says "women like you their a dime a dozen..." and the crowd is singing it to the top of the their lungs. Too much fun doing her songs! People love LL because she dared to sing about real life drama and they connect with her. Kudos to her accolades and all she gave to country music! ♥👊
