FIRST TIME REACTING TO | LORETTA LYNN "YOU AIN'T WOMAN ENOUGH TO TAKE MY MAN" REACTION

[@iamjenniferjames]

♥ Tammy: Stand by your man. ♥ Dolly: Please don't take my man. ♥ Loretta: Go ahead, see what happens.

[@michellewalters7097]

Tammy: Just let him do whatever he wants to and take it. Dolly: Crying and begging the other woman. Loretta: Sage and hood and wish a bitch would

[@greeneyelove2003]

Carrie Underwood - Beat the hell out of his truck or Two Black Cadillacs him.

[@shawnj1966]

Loretta would take Jolene, to Fist City! LOL

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Yes, lol, and, FIST CITY!

[@tarae5076]

Savage!

[@Gashouse69]

Loretta is Country royalty.

[@terrybaby4vr]

That instrument you asked about is a steel guitar. It’s very prominent in traditional country music. Dolly begs Jolene not to take her man, but Loretta says you ain’t even getting that close without a fight! 😂

[@JimmyLee27]

a pedal steel actually ;)

[@fredlgibsonjr3067]

@@JimmyLee27 That is Don Helms playing the Steel, so it was not likely a Pedal Steel. Even though he owned a lot of Steel Guitars he played the same early Non-Pedal Steel Guitar that he did with Hank Williams until he died. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoLWpZWVbpl0fLc

[@FloraWest]

If I remember right, it developed when cowboys came from working in Hawaii back to the continental west-sort of an evolution of the lap guitar style developed there.

[@yuppers54]

One way or the other the steel guitar was a Hawiian instrument before it made its way to Nashville.

[@archiecraven6086]

Dolly: please don’t take my man. Tammy: stand by your man. Loretta: f**k around and find out.

[@JGoolsby]

Loretta Lynn , was a very proud woman , and believe me when I say that . Her husband , Looney Lynn , did have an eye for women and yes he did chase the ladies . But he loved her dearly and they stayed together until he died from old age . Loretta never remarried and yes she was older than Dolly Parton.

[@maryannanderson2213]

FUN FACT: Loretta is playing the guitar in this song because this was on a TV show that was being recorded live and Loretta was several months pregnant with twins and she was too big for the very strict network censors to allow her belly to be seen on television. Yep. Back in those days, women did NOT show their pregnant belly in public and certainly not on nation-wide TV so she had the guitar and held it rather high to keep her belly hidden! It was a totally different world back then! Loretta wrote and recorded "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man" in 1966 and Dolly didn't come out with "Jolene" until 1974. But even before Loretta there was Kitty Wells. Kitty released "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" in 1952. Patsy Cline was a huge star in the early 60's and some of her biggest hits were "Crazy", "I Fall to Pieces", "She's Got You" and "Walking After Midnight". Tammy Wynette released "I Don't Wanna Play House" "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" "Stand by Your Man" and "Til I can Make it on my Own" in the late 1960's so actually Dolly was the new kid on the block and her song, Jolene was released DECADES after some of these other songs. I'm happy to see you becoming so interested in country music. You have learned one very important thing about country music and that is the fact that the songs usually tell a story so if you don't pay attention to the lyrics you miss the whole point of the song. And I'm glad that you LISTEN.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

And let's not forget early pioneering country artists such as Rose Maddox who influenced Dolly Parton and Charlene Arthur who influenced Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson, and even Elvis.

[@beedifrnt]

@Maryann Anderson. Loretta being pregnant in this performance doesn't quite match up because her twins were born in August, 1964 - two years before she wrote and released this song.

[@JoeTyria]

You need to see the movie, "Coal Miner's Daughter," a biopic starring Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn. Sissy spent a year on tour w/Loretta to get her "character" and vocal style down, so she does her own singing in the film, not lip-synching to Loretta's recordings. Beverly D'Angelo is also in the film as Patsy Cline, and also does her own singing.

[@isabellegarza9070]

Women back then will fight to keep there husbands. Keep the family together. These women (gold diggers) think that the man has the money, but in this situation Loretta has the money. They ain't getting nowhere. Her husband tries to take advantage but Loretta will step right in. Puts him back in line, cause she knows he doesn't want to go there. You need to see the movie Cold Minor's Daughter. React to her song, Fist City. She so gangster in that song.

[@nosparex]

Pedal steel guitar is the instrument. Next up from her should be "Fist City"

[@chrislecompte4694]

Fist City is one of the greatest tunes ever…so overlooked

[@lynnelle66]

You should watch “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” it’s about her life. Loretta was one great song writer and as well a wonderful singer.

[@yeshuabride-sherry3025]

Loretta has long been known as the Queen of Country Music. She was a close friend of Patsy Cline, who encouraged her when she came to Nashville, and was broken hearted when Patsy died in the plane crash. Loretta is before Dolly Parton and a legend in her own right. Super talented writer and singer.

[@diyeverything73]

Another one you will love is fist city by her love the reactions keep up the great work

[@dagmar.6954]

So sad to hear of Loretta Lynn's recent passing. She was a country legend & singer song writer who's music has spanned 6 decades. She was also friends with the great late Patsy Cline. Her younger sister Crystal Gayle also is a great singer. She grew up dirt poor & stayed humble & true to her roots. The autobiographical movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" is worth looking at.

[@michaels3067]

Loretta’s FIST CITY has to be next. She takes it up another notch.

[@gregoryolson907]

The instrument is the Steel Guitar. Check out "Fist City" and "The Pill".

[@peggysoutherland1183]

Fist City is the next Loretta song you need to hear!

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Loretta was this little tiny thing. First time I met her I was so surprised. God packed a lot of woman in a tiny little package. She was also one of the sweetest people you’d ever met. A real icon and as famous as you can be but so down to Earth. She made you feel like you were the important person in the room. You couldn’t help but love her.

[@JGoolsby]

Loretta was 13 years old when she started singing !!!!! That was about 10 years before Miss Dolly !!!! They are simply marvelous and Miss Dolly is still with us !!!! Patsy Cline was 12 years older than Loretta Lynn when she became friends with Loretta just before Patsy died in that plane crash Tommy Lee Jones played Loretta's husband, Looney Lynn, Sissy Spacek, played Loretta, and Leon Helms played her father!!!!!

[@tammyedwards-buchin3193]

Real women. Strong and completely capable. I love em. My grandma was one of them.

[@michaelgibson3011]

LORETTA the legend of legends.

[@sherieads1298]

A great true story song Loretta Lynn did was Coalminer's Daughter about her childhood. They also made a tv movie of the same name starring Sissy Spacek. She did a fabulous job portraying Miss Lynn's life.

[@normaneconlon7161]

And we have already told you that instrument you’re thinking about in the beginning of the video is known as a steel guitar

[@johnhilliard7023]

Loretta's 'sassiness' often got her in hot water with the country music establishment. And never more than in 1975 when she released a song called "The Pill". You will love it.

[@annetteashby6531]

Loretta made this song because it happen to her in real life. She was with Pasty Cline and found her husband with another women. Alot of her songs are true storys of her life being a mother wife and singer. She is one of the best. Play Fist City And The Pill you will like them to.😊😊

[@Nazman06]

Loretta is up there with Dolly. They are both legends. I saw Loretta years ago when she was 83. She was awesome for her age. Love Loretta.

[@ronduessj]

Britt this song came out in 1966, Dolly's Jolene came out in 1974. Loretta started before Dolly and wrote this song was like most country songs back in the day, after an actual experience.

[@Karenbutnotone]

Fist City MUST be your next reaction from Loretta I am loving your reactions along your country music journey.

[@greeneyelove2003]

I'm glad you noticed how sweetly she smiles the entire time. I suggest "Homewrecker" by Gretchen Wilson.

[@shawnnixon2811]

Loretta wasn't playing. That's why she also sung FIST CITY lol

[@debcombs7153]

Loretta is the wife in this song. She married her husband when she was 14 or 15 years old. She had 6 kids by the age of 20 I think it was. Heck yeah she was 10 toes down. The best thing about it is their marriage worked out.

[@Rosiepooh75]

This is not a response to Jolene, it's a different approach to the same situation 😁 Loretta was not to be trifled with. She said: step away from my husband or else... You should do Fist City next 💗

[@bonniest.pierre2045]

The story I heard was that her kids school driver was fooling around with her husband and told her that she was taking her husband. Many of Loretta's songs were related to Doo.

[@DeanzaFerrari]

Loretta wrote this song about her husband. The songs she wrote were based on her life and her husband, Doolittle. She wrote this before Dolly did Jolene. Check out Loretta, Fist City and Rated X.

[@unusualmom7506]

I am so enjoying your country music journey. I love watching young people discover what I grew up with. Have fun with it.

[@mikemiller3069]

That instrument is a pedal steel guitar. Steel guitars come in two versions, lap steel guitars and pedal steel guitars. Both are tuned to open chords and played with a steel rod, called a slide that is held in the palm and moved around to play different chords. Lap steels are held on the player's lap and can only play the type of chord that they are tuned to while a pedal steel is on a stand and has knee and foot levers to change the type of chord it can play. In either case, the player wears finger and thumb picks to play arpeggios and/or melodies.

[@jezebeljones659]

Dolly was later. Loretta was the one and only! She wrote so many great songs; she was an original. Check out Fist City by Loretta if you want to laugh your a** off.

[@jayce711]

Welcome to Loretta Lynn, the Queen!! Loretta was the first country female with a gold album, the 1st country female voted Entertainer of The Year by the Country Music Association. She is in the Country Music Hall if Fame and the Country Gospel Hall of Fame. She is also a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. Yep! She's a big deal!

[@rosspetersen4018]

I greatly appreciate your spicy, yet admirable commentary. You've definitely got a gift for this. Thanks, RP

[@georgeearls3338]

The instrument is a pedal Steel guitar. This lady was my mother's favorite singer.

[@lesliehagemann5755]

Like others have said, definitely check out Fist City and The Pill.

[@richardpierce7819]

That instrument is called a steel guitar, you have to know the back story to this song , Loretta is married to mooney , and he was far from being loyal to her , but some how they managed to stay together, loretta once caught mooney in the back seat of a car with another woman , loretta pulled her out of the car and commensed whipping up on her. This incident gave rise to her song " Fist City" a lot of her songs were based on true stories.

[@daleb1279]

OK, now you've heard Crazy by Patsy Cline, Jolene by Dolly Parton, and now Loretta. The one last take on the "trouble with men" legendary songs and legendary female country singers, is Tammy Wynette, singing, Stand By Your Man. Tammy was married to George Jones and they did a lot of duets but George's drinking eventually did in the marriage but they were able to come back together as friends even though they were married to others later in life.

[@elainemosure8742]

Love your reactions, ck out ....Thank God in Greyhound your gone. Jonny Payckeck. I think you'll love Jennie C. Riley's....Harper Valley PTA.

[@vickie5ft2]

💘That is a steel guitar.. My brother has been playing one in bands for YEARS!

[@darlon9552]

Loretta released this song in 1966. Dolly released Jolene in 1974.

[@gospeljoy5713]

Pedal steel the most amazing instrument in the world. The pedals change strings a whole note while knee levers change strings a half note. Similar to a harp but so much more..

[@tealsoda]

I watched an interview with Loretta in her later years. She was talking about the woman she wrote this song about and said "I hope you're listening, you old bag." I love Loretta Lynn so much.

[@davidwatkowski6146]

I love the sound of a steel guitar. It has such a beautiful sound. It was a staple in country music and originated in Hawaii.

[@reneebush2399]

This is one of Mrs. Loretta’s tamer songs on this subject. Lol. She still has the most songs that went to number #1 DESPITE them being BANNED from Stations throughout the country. Mrs. Loretta was an OG when it came to not playin’ around. I think you would really enjoy “Fist City” and “The Pill”.

[@marlaoconnor1677]

Girl lmao here. The crazy smile. It's that crazy southern girl thing, like bless your heart! Loretta came from POOR out of the hills of Butcher Hollow, Kentucky. Self made. Best friend to Patsy Cline. Sissy spacek played Loretta in the biographical Coal Miners Daughter. Loving your reactions. I am an oldie at 54. I grew up knowing these songs by heart at a very young age.

[@denisearty]

Loretta Lynn had a fascinating life & was a superb song writer & singer. They made a movie about her, that was a cult classic. She also was extremely close friends with Patsy Cline. Patsy Cline took Ms. Lynn under her wing & showed her the ropes of touring & the Grand Ole Oprey. When Patsy Cline died, Loretta Lynn was devastated. A cute song by Loretta Lynn, is “One’s On the Way.”

[@ronjohnson2276]

Loretta Lynn- Fist City Loretta Lynn- The Pill

[@thecaptleefanbatman9130]

Loretta was an amazing singer songwriter. She wrote songs about her life. Her husband cheated on her many times. So she wrote songs like this and Fist City.

[@larrybench6398]

This was a great song for Loretta, big hit she had a Great song called LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION" YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO IT. THANKS

[@itchyandred4131]

You really should check out " fist city" Loretta Lynn was a bad a**!✌️

[@Jesusfreak-m3x]

The man in question was her husband, manager, and the father of her 3 or 4 children. As she worked on the road, he was known to take advantage of the young fans who hung around the theaters.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Show respect for the Queen of Country music Loretta Lynn

[@Pauba1946]

You should react to her song “The Pill” a song that was decades before it’s time.

[@Mark_MOORE_VFL]

Great reaction Britt you should check out Coal Miner's Daughter and Don't Come Home Drinking With Loving On Your Mind 💙💙💙

[@VotecEV2]

Sliding steel guitar or a lap sliding steel guitar. Awesome in Jackson Brown "Stay" live 1978 Just very typical Country Music, basically the "Do you know what you get when you play country music backwards??" You get your dog back, your woman back, your trailer back and your pickup truck back.

[@tommymacartney]

Loretta is the OG. She passed in October. RIP Queen

[@jetaunharper7653]

Facts 💯

[@jeannoah2018]

Oh yes ma'am! My FAVORITE Loretta Lynn song. Awesome review!

[@nberrypatch02]

My dad is a huge fan of Loretta, especially all her famous duets with Conway Twitty. I was lucky to grow up hearing her music (I'm 55 now). My top two favorite songs are Fist City and the hilarious duet with Conway called "You're the reason our kids are ugly!" LOL! Sassiness goes hand in hand with southern charm. I've lived in many parts of the USA and overseas in foreign countries and I swear I've never heard ladies throw shade the way they do down south. There's a saying about Southern women - the sweeter the smile, the faster you better run the other way. If you think Loretta is sassy here, then you definitely need to check out Fist City. You'll love it, I promise!

[@kaycalkins9544]

That instrument is called a steel guitar. The song is one she wrote because some woman from a bar was after Lorreta's husband. At least that was the story put out years ago,

[@wendyparker1986]

“There’s nothing like a steel guitar crying in the night!” Clint Black

[@charlessaylors3967]

Loretta Lynn wrote "you aint woman enough". Long before Dolly sung Joleen. It was Loretta's husband she was singing about. Dolly was singing about someone different.

[@dianedove1000]

Well, that was hysterical! I think this was Loretta’s biggest all-time hit, the one she was most known for. She had a lot of good ones over the years. Check her out again and then watch the movie about her life. You will love it.

[@maxt3806]

In the movie her dad is played by levon helms the drummer and one of the singer's in the band the group

[@stacymoore9836]

She wrote this song right after catching her husband with another woman. Loretta Lynn wrote all of her songs. You ought to check out her songs fist city, the pill,

[@Jdwray12]

Her song "Fist City" takes it to another level

[@conniebarends9835]

If you want to know more about Loretta Lynn watch the Autobiographical movie "Coal Miners Daughter" staring Sissy Space as Loretta. It will explain her attitude. Lol

[@deborahquevedo9110]

Loretta was a superstar long before Dolly. Loretta was also not the other woman in this song, she was the wife/girlfriend. The instrument was a steel guitar, prominent in early country music.

[@ronaldackerman7383]

The instrument you want to know about is steel guitar the song is actually true, the nother song you need to check out if you want to know Loretta Lynn is all about is of course I'm proud to be a coal Miner's daughter as well as frits city she had a husband named Duke who have wandering eyes so check those songs out good reaction

[@michaelphipps8647]

The Queen!

[@danielmclaughlin2688]

The instrument is a peddle still guitar. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedal_steel_guitar

[@billparrish4385]

That strange instrument is called a "pedal steel guitar" (this one a 'Sho-Bud' brand), the name coming from the "steel" slide used in the left hand to fret the strings while plucking them with picks on the right hand, and "pedal" because there is a series of foot pedals and knee levers that allow the player to change the sound and tension on the strings, to bend and change notes, giving it that distinct ringing sound. It's been called one of the most difficult instruments to learn to play, because of the many 'standard' tunings ("many standard" ought to tell you something) and pedal tensioning arrangements. It's been a regular part of the country/honky tonk musical sound since the 60s and 70s, after Gibson Guitars got the idea in the 50s to add pedals to a 'console guitar' (an older concept of the pedal steel). The original steel guitars were played in Hawaii beginning in 1889, after 15 year old Joseph Kekuku accidentally brushed an old rusty bolt across his guitar's strings and liked the unique tone, then tried a pocket knife, steel comb, and finally settling on a bar of steel like modern steel slides. These guitars at first were simply regular acoustic guitars laid across the lap while seated, but later versions incorporated increasingly complex acoustic tops, square necks and other changes. Today's steel guitars can be either the 'pedal steel' as in the video, 'lap steel' which looks like a regular acoustic with a metal sound board played across the lap while seated, or in the case of the 'dobro' often seen in country and bluegrass music, looks like a lap steel hanging by a guitar strap flat in front of the musician who is standing while playing.

[@GM8101PHX]

That instrument you inquired about is pedal steel guitar which is used extensively in country music!!

[@JGoolsby]

That is a Hawaiian steal guitar , and thanks for asking mam .

[@jeffreygerfen2784]

A lot of these classic country stars wrote many of their songs about things that may have happened to them in real life, or something from a friend, that’s why they are such good stories/songs

[@lifteachotherup64]

Can't wait for the "Fist City" follow-up!

[@adamkaczmarski9503]

Ah yes the cryin’ of the steel guitar… so beautiful and so missed in modern country music.

[@teenystudioflicks1635]

Ya, you need to react to Loretta's 'Fist City'. Her songs were tougher than the other female country singers of the time. Her hubby 'Moonie" was loose with his eyes ;-)

[@stanrose4517]

Great reaction as usual. Check out the movie Coal Miners Daughters her life story. You’ll find out the meaning behind this song.

[@annettebaldwin4605]

Loretta was about 14 or 15 when she married her husband. He been kind of messing around, and she wasn't letting him go

[@wendymacraild5204]

She was 13 when she got married. 13 years old. Had her first baby at 16 years old.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Right out the gate you were like what is that instrument? That is a pedal steel guitar and it's not that old of an instrument as you might think. But it arrived just in time for music like Hank Williams to popularize it and then it took the country music world by storm. I played in a honky tonk band for over 20 years and after the first eight years, we picked up a pedal steel player and he provided us with so much more weaponry it's amazing. It is a fairly difficult instrument to play but it's actually quite versatile. It can really blaze in a pyrotechnic way in the right context, but mostly, it's purpose is to make you cry and weep. 😀

[@marinefireman219]

Yes, check out Fist City by Loretta

[@jackieknoll9818]

one of my favorites.

[@gagirl0499]

Hey beautiful lady, so glad you’ve found the sassy Loretta! The OG of queen of country music.

[@barrycollier7451]

If you think this one is sassy, listen to " Fist City" another Loretta Lynn classic.

[@flophilp]

You made me laugh so hard with that comment about Loretta being territorial. NO LIES TOLD 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cydrych]

Fist City and Coal Miners Daughter are essential for Loretta reactions. Coal Miners Daughter is an autobiography.

[@tammybennett6897]

You definitely need to hear Loretta's song First City. Great Reaction

[@83candlestick]

And Loretta says it with a smile...clutch those pearls girl!

[@billtmarchi4320]

She has a song called "FIST CITY" also. Her songs are simple but Fiesta. Lorettas husband was always wondering off into arms of other women. And she would write these song based off her life.

[@lottiemagee8659]

You are so cute. I love it when you are describing what the meaning of the lyrics. You make me laugh.

[@garyhamaker5786]

It's called 'pedal steel guitar'. It's played with your fingers in the right hand and a round, metal slide in the left, like a slide blues guitar. Also, there are pedals operated by your feet, and they can raise the pitch of the strings by a half-step or whole-step (I'm not sure). It is also known as a Hawaiian guitar because apparently that is where it originated. I don't know how or when it crossed over from Hawaiian to Country music, but it is closely associated with the latter, especially in the early days, and if you want to sound a little more traditional in your country music today, you put in a pedal steel and voila, you automatically sound more country. It has something to do with the high, lonesome notes you can play on the instrument that made it very appealing to country music fans.

[@laurasimmons5879]

Loretta wrote that song. She wrote a lot of songs in reaction to things that went on in her life. Watch the movie Coal miners daughter, its about her life, a very good movie, Sissy Spacek plays Loretta Lynn.

[@GM8101PHX]

Britt my Mom had the same attitude, she did not put up with abusive men or cheaters what so ever, my Dad when they were young raised his hand to my mom, she dumped scolding hot coffee right on him, he never raised his hand again!! You can look up Buddy Emmons, he had his own line of pedal steel guitars with his name on them, the pedal steel was a cousin to the Hawaiian Guitar accept the later did not employ pedals to bend the notes so to speak!! It is a difficult instrument to learn but sounds so good.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

Hey Britt. That is a pedal steel guitar. If it's really country, chances are you will hear a fiddle and a steel guitar. If it's Texas country you might just hear twin fiddles and a steel guitar lol. Loretta was out in front on a lot of subjects. Check her songs "The Pill", "Fist City", and others. Country women have been speaking up and speaking out for a long time. Try Kitty Wells from way back singing "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels". Great reaction. Now you have the day you deserve!

[@Mrs_Adams]

Love your reaction! And your voice is beautiful as well!

[@MommaBird52]

Lorettie (1932) as her dad called her was quite a bit older than Dolly (1946). Barely 15 when she married Doolittle (Doo) Lynn,she became pregnant frequently. Her last were twins, Peggy and Patsy, named for her friend Patsy Cline. She is also half sister of country singer Crystal Gayle (Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue).

[@george33631]

You need to react to Loretta Lynn's The Pill..
