Number 1's (CD - 2007)

As the title suggests, NUMBER ONES is a straightforward collection of Loretta Lynn's #1 country hits from the 1960s and '70s, the period when she was arguably the most famous woman in country music. Lynn certainly had the most clearly defined persona of her time and place: not just a "Coal Miner's Daughter" from Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, Lynn was country music's first true feminist, recording controversial yet true-to-life hits like "Rated X" and "One's on the Way" when such things were still frowned upon by many in the country music community. Add in tough, trash-talking fighting songs like "You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man" and "Fist City," and NUMBER ONES is the definitive collection of Loretta Lynn's best-known material. minimize
