Loretta Lynn News

SHE DIED ON A TUESDAY. BY THE END OF THE WEEK, AMERICA WAS PLAYING HER SONGS LIKE IT HAD JUST REALIZED WHAT IT LOST. Loretta Lynn grew up barefoot in a coal mining cabin in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky. Married young. A mother young. A grandmother before most women her age had even figured out who they were. Then she took all of it — poverty, marriage, motherhood, cheating men, birth control, and every truth women were told to keep quiet — and turned it into songs country radio sometimes tried to ban. On October 4, 2022, Loretta died peacefully in her sleep at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. She was 90. That same day, her streams surged 1,841%. By the end of the week, her catalog was up 615%, and “Coal Miner’s Daughter” had crossed 1.3 million streams. But Nashville was not done saying goodbye. Twenty-six days later, the Grand Ole Opry filled with voices. Alan Jackson sat in the circle and sang a song he had written for his own mother. George Strait, Dolly Parton, Jack White, Taylor Swift, and so many others honored the girl from Butcher Hollow who had spent a lifetime refusing to be quiet. Loretta Lynn did not just leave country music. She left it finally saying thank you.

News The Osmonds

Released in 1971, “One Bad Apple” was the breakthrough hit that launched The Osmonds to international fame. The catchy pop song reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for five weeks. With its upbeat melody and message about not letting one bad relationship destroy your faith in love, the song became one of the defining pop hits of the early 1970s.

Fleetwood Mac News

Fleetwood Mac captured by rock photographer Sam Emerson during a major promotional shoot in Los Angeles, back in 1982….. The backstory to this session is great. The band had spent the last couple of years doing their own thing on solo projects—including Stevie’s massive success with her Bella Donna album—before finally coming back together to record Mirage. After the wild, experimental ride of Tusk in 1979, Mirage was their big return to that smooth, radio-friendly pop-rock perfection that gave us huge hits like “Hold Me” and “Gypsy.” Emerson stripped away all the usual clutter for this shoot, using a clean white backdrop that lets the band’s contrasting personalities and early-80s style totally take center stage. It’s an amazing time capsule of the definitive five-piece lineup standing united right on the eve of another multi-platinum era.

News Tom Jones

Sir Tom Jones quietly stepped into a small animal rescue shelter that was only 48 hours away from shutting its doors—a refuge for 39 abandoned dogs whose future had become heartbreakingly uncertain…… The overhead lights flickered faintly. The shelves were nearly empty. And in the owner’s eyes was a deep exhaustion, as though tears had been held back for far too long.
