I heard a song by Loretta Lynn tonight. She has a new album with a new band, the "Dowhatters" - they are a few groovy looking guys and Jack White from the White Stripes. At first I didn't think it would work but it does! How odd. The song I heard completely rocks although Jack's guitar was turned up way too loud. Loretta really pulls the punches though - that lady can rock for wearing a china-doll dress and being rather senior in years.
I like what Loretta says to her fans on her website about the new album:
This album sounds a little different from my other ones. You've got to have an open mind 'cause some of these songs have a rock 'n roll sound and the rest are just pure country. I've always thought that a song can bring people together.
You go Lorretta!
