Loretta Lynn is born

Loretta Lynn, a singer who greatly expanded the opportunities for women in the male-dominated world of country-western music, is born in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky on April 14, 1932.

Unlike some country-western stars that sang about a rural working class life but lived an urban middle class existence, Loretta Lynn’s country roots were unquestionably authentic. Born Loretta Webb in a log cabin nestled in the backwoods hills of Kentucky, she was the daughter of a coal miner who worked long hours to keep his family fed and clothed. She married her husband, Oliver “Doolittle” Lynn, when she was only 15 and she gave birth to her first child when she was 16 years old. Lynn had three more children before she was 21 and was a grandmother at 29.

Lynn seemed destined for a hard life raising her growing family in a three-room house with no running water or indoor plumbing. However, while listening to her sing to the children, Doolittle became convinced that Loretta sang as well as anyone on the radio. For her 26th birthday, Doolittle bought Loretta a $17 guitar and en

Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn's songs fashioned a body of work that has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. Coal Miner's Daughter refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn herself who journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville, one of the first women to rise to superstardom as a country vocalist and as an American icon.

Lynn was born in Butcher Holler, Kentucky. Just as she would later sing in "Coal Miner's Daughter," Loretta's family eked out a living during the Depression on the "poor man's dollar" her father managed to earn "working all night in the Van Lear coal mine and all day long in the field a-hoein' corn." As she also notes in that song, "I never thought of leavin' Butcher Holler." But that was before she met Oliver Lynn (aka Doolittle or Doo or "Mooney" for moonshine), a handsome 21-year-old fresh from the service who swept the young Loretta

Loretta Lynn Biography

For over four decades now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful-and as culturally significant-as any female performer you'd care to name. Her music has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. The Coal Miner's Daughter-the tag refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn herself-has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon. Her latest album, the Jack White-produced Van Lear Rose, is poised now to remind the world yet again of Lynn's power as a vocalist and her skill as a songwriter. As she puts it on "The Story of My Life," the new album's closing track: "Not half bad for this ol' KY girl, I guess...Here's the story of my life. Listen close, I'll tell it twice."

Loretta was born in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, the second of Clara and Ted Webb's
