Loretta Lynn - Number Ones is a perfect addition to any country collection. This includes seventeen of her greatest hits from throughout her nearly fifty year career. On some of these hits, Loretta was joined by Conway Twitty as they went down in history as a top selling duo. Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty had an undeniable chemistry which made the world love them even more. There is no better way to have all of these classic tunes wrapped up into one album.
Loretta has written the majority of her own songs, which were a result of her up-bringing and even her marriage. Most of her tunes were "women" related songs that inspired many women all over the world. Loretta was one of the first five women to hit superstar status. Among those women were Loretta, Patsy Cline, Skeeter Davis, Jean Shepard and Kitty Wells. Loretta moved on from superstar to simply a legend. One of her biggest hits was "Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind.)" She wrote this for her husband after he had too much to drink and finally decided to come home. This seemed to be a trend for her, but it worked well. Another one of these "girl power" tunes was "Fist City." Songs like this had never been heard by anyone, but Loretta made sure to change that. This album is great because it has so many songs from different times in her career. "Woman Of The World (Leave My World Alone)" is great, simply because it lets you see the influences that someone can have over your everyday life.
