Country music icon Loretta Lynn is getting ready to release her 50th studio album, Still Woman Enough, Friday March 19th, 2021.
The new project celebrates women in country music as Loretta pays tribute to the founding mothers, while singing new interpretations of her songs along side current female country music hit makers.
Loretta says, âI am just so thankful to have some of my friends join me on my new album. We girl singers gotta stick together.â Those friends include Reba McEntire, Tanya Tucker, Margo Price, and Carrie Underwood.
Loretta adds, âItâs amazing how much has happened in the fifty years since âCoal Minerâs Daughterâ first came out and Iâm extremely grateful to be given a part to play in the history of American music.â
One of the tracks on Still Woman Enough is âCoal Minerâs Daughters Recitationâ â a new version of the song that became Lorettaâs calling card, as it not only was the title of her 1971 album, but also her 1976 memoir, and the 1980 Oscar-winning movie adaptation starring Sissy Spacek.
Still Woman Enough is produced by Lorettaâs daughter Patsy Lynn Russell and John Carter Cash, the son of fellow country music legends Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.
The track list for the album includesâŠ
01. âStill Woman Enoughâ (featuring Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood) (Loretta Lynn and Patsy Lynn Russell)
