Dolly Parton News

THE GRAMMYS GAVE DOLLY PARTON THEIR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN 2011. THE CMA FOLLOWED IN 2016. ON SEPTEMBER 16, AMERICANA WILL MAKE IT THREE. For more than six decades, Dolly Parton has been almost everything American entertainment could make someone — country star, actress, businesswoman, philanthropist and cultural icon. But the Americana Music Association is bringing the story back to where it started: the songs. At the Ryman Auditorium during AmericanaFest, Dolly will receive its Lifetime Achievement Award, joining another major honor to the Grammy recognition she received in 2011 and the CMA’s Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award presented to her five years later. Americana’s leadership pointed to the songwriter at the center of her legacy — the woman whose words have crossed generations and genres long after they left her notebook. Robert Plant will also be honored that night. Dolly plans to accept by video. After all the costumes, movies and fame, they are honoring what came first: the songwriter.

Loretta Lynn News Reba McEntire

THE STROKE TOOK HER VOICE AT 85. THE BROKEN HIP TOOK HER ABILITY TO STAND. AT 88, FROM A STUDIO BUILT INSIDE HER OWN HOUSE, SHE RECORDED HER FIFTIETH ALBUM AND NAMED IT STILL WOMAN ENOUGH. She was Loretta Lynn — the coal miner’s daughter from Butcher Hollow, Kentucky who married at thirteen, raised four children before twenty, and changed country music by writing the songs other women were too afraid to sing. In May 2017, a stroke ended fifty-seven years of touring overnight. Eight months later, on January 1, 2018, she fell at her Hurricane Mills ranch and broke her hip. She was 85. Most artists in her position would have called it a career. Her family told her to rest. Her doctors said she wouldn’t sing again. Loretta looked her own broken body in the eye and said: “No.” There’s a reason Loretta refused to leave Hurricane Mills after the stroke — a reason that has everything to do with the small cemetery on the property where her husband Doo was buried in 1996. In March 2021, at 88 years old, she released Still Woman Enough. Fifty albums. A title pulled from a song she’d written five decades earlier. She brought Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, and Tanya Tucker onto the title track — three generations of women singing back the line she’d given them. She died nineteen months later, on October 4, 2022, in her sleep at the ranch. She was 90. Her daughter Peggy was beside her. That’s not a final album. That’s a coal miner’s daughter who refused to let a stroke decide which song would be her last.

Loretta Lynn News

AT 72, LORETTA LYNN MADE THE BOLDEST ALBUM OF HER LATER YEARS — THEN TOOK HOME TWO GRAMMYS. By 2004, Loretta Lynn had nothing left to prove. Nashville already knew her as the Coal Miner’s Daughter, the woman who had spent decades singing truths other people were afraid to say aloud. But she was not interested in becoming a museum piece. With Jack White producing, Loretta recorded *Van Lear Rose*, an album built around songs she had written herself. He brought distorted guitars and a rougher sound, but he never tried to turn her into someone new. He simply gave her stories room to hit harder. Loretta sang about her childhood in Kentucky, the wounds inside marriage, jealousy, survival, and the complicated life behind the famous name. Her voice sounded older because it was older—but it had lost none of its authority. The album surprised critics, reached a new generation, and earned Loretta two Grammys: Best Country Album and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for “Portland Oregon.” It was not a young producer rescuing an aging legend. It was Loretta Lynn reminding everyone that she had never needed rescuing.
