WE LOVE HER REALNESS!!! LORETTA LYNN - DON'T COME HOME A-DRINKIN (WITH LOVIN ON YOUR MIND) REACTION

[@briangulley6027]

Her message is simple, women either your man respects you or you kick his ass out. That message is true even more today.

[@lindaeasley5606]

A good message . A woman doesn't have to put up with abuse and often times drunkenness leads to domestic abuse

[@Beadingterri]

Loretta Lynn holds the record for the greatest number of songs banned from public radio. She was singing about real life issues at a time when things like that were not talked about. Loretta Lynn was way ahead of her time

[@sparky6086]

People don't think about it now, but Loretta was edgy, as they got in her day (& a lot of other days too)!

[@jadefire2817]

She was married to her husband "Doolittle" when she was only 13 years old. He was a rounder who loved to drink and fight. An urban legend (myth or truth depending on who is telling it) says that he once slapped Loretta around, and Conway Twitty said if he ever laid another hand on her it'd be the last thing he ever did. That's when country was based on real hard living, not this pop-lite stuff they have now.

[@rockinredneck57]

He was also older and in the service when they met.

[@elizabethhall9334]

I wish Conway would've kicked Doo's ass

[@sheilamatthews7349]

Conway felt like she was his sister. I think he would have won that fight.

[@jadefire2817]

Loretta also said he didn't smack me once I didn't smack him twice.

If you get a chance to see the movie about here life, "Coal Miner's Daughter", you'll see why she wrote so many of these GREAT songs!

Rest in peace to the Queen of country music.

[@dennishuntley7688]

Keep in mind when this came out there wasn't the social norms we have today, this song caused a riff cause women never spoke these things then. She was truly a ground breaker in the beginning of roles in the home changing.

[@melissagerber7231]

Yup. Women were just supposed to stand by their man and put up with abuse and infidelity as ' just being a man',for the sake of their homes and families.

Lorretta Lynn is as genuine as you can get!

[@dagmar.6954]

Glad you are continuing your journey through Loretta Lynn's music. This country legend is a 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.

[@davidhendrix2418]

RIP Loretta, you'll always be a legend

[@debrabeck9630]

You got it exactly! Her husband wants to go out drinking with the boys and doesn’t give a thought to her. Then he comes home all sloppy drunk and wants to get it on. Loretta ain’t got time for that! If you want to go out with Loretta, take her out. Buy her dinner and maybe even a drink or two. But don’t leave Loretta at home wondering where you are. As you said, Loretta don’t play!

[@lepoetress]

Daaaaaaaaaaayyyyuuuuum .... Ms Loretta was NOT for the shenanigans!!

[@timboyd2562]

Loretta was ahead of the times. On an awards show. She was told she couldn't speak to Charlie Pride on stage or shake his hand or something like that because he was bkack. She wasnt having it and i can't remember exactly but she either hugged him and stood with him. There is a video of them on the stage together. When i heard her tell the story in an interview I loved her even more.

[@patriciaataylor5646]

Another great one is Your Squaw Is On the Warpath tonight!

[@robinfrost5633]

Loretta Lynn is the strongest woman I’ve ever heard of !! She went through a lot in her life ! She lives in a haunted house . She lost her son jack . Just look her up . You should watch her biography/ documentary. You’ll see how everything began . Thank you guys for doing these videos! Her songs remind me of what I’ve been through too ! I can relate to almost every song she wrote . Keep doing what you do 😀

[@cathyhall1350]

Loretta wrote all her songs about "Doo", her husband since she was 14! And you right, she didn't put up with his sh**! 💙😉🎼💋

[@delisamarchetti5926]

I love Loretta too. Her music is so honest, it cuts right to the core of the issue. The movie about her life Coal Miner's Daughter came out when I was high school. Seeing all that we she went through in her life , really taught me some valuable life lessons just when I needed them the most. I bought the sound track album to the movie and listened to the record every day after school. I love people who are sassy and honest about their experiences in life. It really helps the younger generation to know they are not alone, and that what they feel has been felt by others before them. Her and Dolly Parton, have taught me a lot about life and how as women, we must show courage and teach people how we want to be treated in this world. I really enjoy this rabbit hole and hope you will continue to do more Loretta songs in the future. Its always a treat! :)

[@MommaBird52]

You really need to watch Coal Miner's Daughter. Many of her songs came from her personal life. Loretta hand picked Cissy Spacek to play her and Cissy actually did her own singing. It was some of her best work. I think you would love the movie and learn about Loretta's life. She has had a lot of tragedy in her life.

[@karenmorrisette5027]

SHE wrote ALL of her songs from her personal life. Mooney inspired most all of them, that's from her own mouth. I been a fan for 55yrs. She's lived in my home county since 66. I was 4yrs old and at 5yrs old my granny started playing me her records. I'd dance with her to the songs. Her ranch is 3500 acres and has a county road running thru it. When my hometown of Waverly was flooded back in August she raised over a million dollars to help ppl rebuild cause we lost 45% of the town including the only 3 schools we had. She paid to have them rebuilt. All while mourning the loss of her foreman Wayne Spears, a personal friend of mine from when I worked on the ranch in 1980 giving trail rides. I'm still mourning the loss of my hometown and my granny's house had 5ft of water in it. Its being rebuilt differently and it'll never be the same. "You can never go home again" is so true.

[@MommaBird52]

@@karenmorrisette5027I am so sorry for your losses. I do remember when she lost her friend. I saw her twins on Walker, Texas Ranger the other day.

[@Vikinggirl1679]

Please please do a reaction to Loretta's little sister Crystal Gayle. She is in the country music hall of fame too. She had many hits like "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" , "Cry" , "Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For", "He's Beautiful To Me" you'll be just as impressed with her.

[@jimearnest4342]

My daughter is an awesome singer and has won contests singing an Alicia Keyes song and and Envogue, but she also loves singing Country music. As a teenager she sang "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' at a company picnic we had at my employer. A lady at the table we were sitting at swirled around in her chair and swore the radio was playing because it sounded so much like Loretta.

[@laurogarza4953]

I'm happy that y'all have discovered Loretta Lynn. The previous comments are all correct in that they characterize her talent and work as among the very best in Country music and served as a large contribution to the American song book. I believe also that this is a great opportunity for me to introduce y'all to Crystal Gayle whose career began in 1978 with a hugely successful hit, "Don't it Make my Brown eyes Blue." Crystal's real name is Brenda Webb and she is the youngest sister of Loretta Webb Lynn whom you all have come to enjoy. Crystal is both a very beautiful lady with very long raven hair and blue eyes but also blessed with a fantastic singing voice that is clear and melodious. Her songs were romantic and blues types and her hits were a success on multiple charts. Below is a link to a television appearance hosted by another great success of that era, Barry Gibb, younger brother of the Gibb brothers that formed The Bee Gees. Please give Crystal Gayle a good listen. You won't be disappointed and you'll want more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWrPq5Kvr9d6kNk

[@Cheryltwin2012]

Loretta followed the Number One rule of songwriting---"write about what you know". In her case, she knew crushing poverty, the fear of being married as a teenager to an older man who liked sampling the local moonshine, and having babies. So she sang about these things. The problem was that radio stations weren't quite ready for someone like Loretta. Many of her songs, including "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin'", "One's On The Way", "The Pill" and others weren't played on country stations, particularly in the Bible Belt because they were considered controversial. I think the truth is more that these were "women's issues" and radio stations were run by men in those days. They treated her music like a hot potato, but her fans have always admired the courage it took for her to write and record these very personal songs.
