Loretta Lynn Releases New Album at 83

The Grammy award winning Loretta Lynn has a new album coming out and it's a mix of familiar hits with some brand new music with special guests.  At 83, the Queen of Country Music sounds as good as she did in the 60's and 70's,when she was having one giant hit after another.  Loretta Lynn is truly amazing.

The 'Full Circle' is released March 4th, it will be the legend's first studio album in more than 10 years and feature 14 new recordings, with the first single a duet with Elvis Costello called 'Everything It Takes,' a tune that Loretta told Rolling Stone took her 30 minutes to write.

Willie Nelson joins Loretta on the 14th track of the album with a tune called 'Lay Me Down.'

Produced by Patsy Lynn Russell and John Carter Cash, and recorded at the Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee, 'Full Circle' takes listeners on a journey through Loretta's musical story, from the Appalachian folk songs and gospel music she learned as a child, to new interpretations of her classic hits and country standards, to songs newly-written for the project.  Drawing inspiration from personal memories and deep connections to American music, this album should make her long time fans very happy as well as making new fans for the Queen of Country Music.

60 albums later and 45 million albums sold in here 60 year career, according to Wikipedia, it's my hope country music receives this album well.  Nobody deserves it more than Loretta Lynn.
