LORETTA LYNN'S HOMEPLACE

Loretta Lynn, the undisputed Queen of the Country, was born on April 14, 1932, at the Dit Hollow, in the mining community of Van Lear. His family house, a simple wooden cabin nestled between two hills, has become one of Kentucky's most popular attractions. The simplicity and differs of the places suggest the harsh living conditions of the inhabitants of the time, or even today. Despite a difficult youth at Van Lear and a first unhappy marriage, Loretta gradually became known in the middle of the country where she was knocking in the 1960-70 s. His first tube, I'm a'Lowdown Girl, dated February 1960. Of the 8 children who made up the family, Loretta and two of its Patsy and Crystal sisters (known as Crystal Gayle, are those that began in the musical environment. Loretta lives today in Tennessee, Hurricane Hills. Its ranch has become one of the most famous attractions of this state. It includes a replica of the family house of Butcher Hollow. His last album, White Christmas Blue was released for Christmas 2016.

One can only advise the Nashville Lady film (Coal Miner's Daughter, 1980), from the biography of the singer published in 1976. The main song of the film is interpreted by Loretta Lynn itself. The singer also evokes his past in the title Van Lear Rose, from his eponymous album of 2004.
