Loretta Lynn

Country singer and songwriter Loretta Lynn, grew up in the remote, poverty stricken town of Butcher "Holler" Kentucky. Her career established her as one of the most direct, honest and unapologetic country songwriters of her generation, often writing of her personal struggles as a wife and mother. Lynn wrote the song "Coal Miners Daughter", and then went on to pen a book of the same name, which was later made into a major motion picture starring Sissy Spacek as Loretta and Tommy Lee Jones as her husband.
