Guide Review - Loretta Lynn The Definitive Collection
If I have any complaint about this disc, it's I'm not sure how it's "definitive" when there aren't any tracks from her recent discs, "Still Country" and the incredible "Van Lear Rose," or any of the songs she cut with Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton as the Honky Tonk Angels. Still, with a full 25 tracks, it's hard to say just where they should have clipped back on her old tunes in favor of the more recent work. I might have chosen "Miss Being Mrs" over the cover of "She's Got You"; and while I do love the Conway duets, there is an entire "definitive collection" of their songs, so they could have included some of her historical recordings with Ernest Tubb.
No matter what she's singing, Loretta Lynn has always sparkled. Her music will live forever, and this collection is a great place to start listening. When you're listening to Loretta Lynn, you're listening to country.
