Loretta Lynn Goes Gospel with "Hymns and Gospel Favorites"

Loretta Lynn, the first lady of country music, has gone Gospel with her debut Gaither Music release "Hymns and Gospel Favorites" hitting shelves on April 14.  The album gathers Lynn's recordings of hymns and spiritual songs she has had recorded throughout her lengthy career.  Some of the highlghts include Lynn's touching autobiographical ballad "If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again," "Who Says God is Dead" and "I Believe."

This timeless collection captures the honest, colorful strains that have made Loretta Lynn a household name, trendsetter and recording icon. These treasured songs of faith highlight her unmistakable, heartwarming voice that has been bringing audiences to their feet for decades.  

For fifty years now, Loretta has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful-and as culturally significant-as any female performer you'd care to name. Her music has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. The Coal Miner's Daughter-the tag refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn herself-has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon.
