IxatA.Sep 19, 2007Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose surpasses all of my favorite artists' album(and that includes bjork and white's band)... miss being mrs and portland oregon are just exceptional.

RICKCMar 16, 2007LORETTA LYNN RULES! She proved once again why she is THE "Queen of Country Music" The Grammy voters must agree as she won Country Album of the Year and Best Vocal Collobration with Vocals with Jack White. Long live the "Queen of COUNTRY"!

SammieDSep 25, 2006Big H and Steve S deserve a hard slap to the forehead. No body asked you to be here anyway. Go back home and listen to your Puff Daddy records or whatever the hell else you think is cool. Fat asses!

PetraNov 11, 2005There'll never be another Loretta. People like her keeps the real country alive. There ain't lot of 'em but they're very special folks. This ain't about money, bussiness or anything like that. This is about heart and real feelings and if you can't appreciate it you better keep your hands off it.

TrentSApr 13, 2005Is it a great CD? Sure, I'd say that 80 percent of the songs are great. The problem I had personally: They are all so SHORT! And there are only around 10 or so tracks......but most of 'em are good songs.

RonnieSSep 9, 2004It is so refreshing to hear this kind of album. It is not over produced, but lets the strong voice of Loretta Lynn come through loud and clear. The lyrics are typically Loretta Lynn and are outstanding!

JakeCAug 30, 2004Speaking as an almost purely jazz and electronic music fan, I found it odd that this album (alt.country) is probably the best that I have purchased in the last year. Simply brilliant, scintillating, and emotionally heavy without tipping into sentimentality.

JohnSAug 23, 2004With this cd it is no telling why LORETTA is the Lady The Legend and America's Swetheart.. SHE REALLY BELTS THEM OUT and tells us all how it still is in the real world.. as always for LORETTA............

GregSAug 3, 2004I have always preferred Patsy to Loretta and have never been a big fan. I still prefer Ms. Cline, but I am so impressed by this cd that I have a new respect for a true American original woman as well as the man helping to put her back in the spotlight.

antparkerJul 4, 2004This album has everything going for it, Ms. Lynns voice is a godsend and Mr. White has cemented his talent in translating this music production into one of the most classic country albums of the last 20 years. This WILL win a grammy! and I know thats a very big call.

Its not as remarkable a transformation as the one Rick Rubin performed on Johnny Cash, but this is a fine collection and as pleasurable a listen as it undoubtedly was to record.
-
The fact that a woman of Lynn's tenure can slide so easily into what is essentially an alt-country environment without losing any of her down-home authenticity simply underscores her versatility and timelessness.
-
Whites arrangements and production are simple and effective, clear without gloss.
