Biografie

Privatleben

Loretta Lynn wurde 1935 in einem Dorf nahe der Kleinstadt Van Lear in den Appalachen als Tochter des Bergarbeiters Ted Webb und seiner Frau Clara geboren. 1948 heiratete sie im Alter von 13 Jahren den 21-jährigen Oliver Vanetta Lynn, genannt „Mooney“ oder auch „Doolittle“, der 1996 starb. 1949 kam ihre erste Tochter zur Welt; mit 18 hatte Lynn bereits vier Kinder. 1964 wurden die Zwillinge Peggy Jean und Patsy Eileen geboren, die unter dem Namen The Lynns ebenfalls musikalisch erfolgreich sind. Auch Lynns jüngere Schwester Crystal Gayle ist eine bekannte Country-Sängerin, und die beiden sind Cousinen der Country-Sängerin Patty Loveless.

Karriere

1961 startete Loretta Lynn ihre Gesangskarriere; 1962 hatte sie ihren ersten Auftritt in der Grand Ole Opry. Lynn veröffentlichte 70 Alben (davon erreichten 17 Platz 1 der Charts) und hatte 27 Nummer-1-Hit-Singles. Sie schrieb mehr als 160 Songs. Ihre erste Single „Honky Tonk Girl“ erreichte Platz 14 der Billboard Single-Charts. Ihr erster Nummer-1-Song war Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind). 1971 begann eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit Conway Twitty. 1972 bekam Lynn als erste Frau den CMA Award Entertainer of the Year. Die Academy of Country Music kürte Lynn in den 70ern zum „Künstler des Jahrzehnts“.

Loretta Lynn verfasste zwei Autobiografien: „Coal Miner's Daughter“ und „Still Woman Enough“. Erstere wurde 1980 mit Sissy Spacek verfilmt, die dafür den Oscar als beste Hauptdarstellerin gewann. In Deutschland lief der Film unter dem Titel Nashville Lady.

Ein überraschendes Comeback hatte Lynn 2004 mit dem Album Van Lear Rose (Interscope/Universal Music), das in Zusammenarbeit mit Jack White von den White Stripes entstand.

2007 brachte Lynn zusammen mit anderen Countrystars das Album Anchored in Love zu Ehren von June Carter Cash heraus, auf dem sie den Song Wildwood Flower singt. Im selben Jahr nahm sie mit Marty Stuart den Song Will You Visit Me on Sunday auf.

Ihr fünfzigstes Bühnenjubiläum im Jahr 2010 nahmen unterschiedliche Künstler zum Anlass für Tribute-to-Alben. Coal Miner's Daughter: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn enthielt Lynn-Interpetationen anderer Country-Acts wie Miranda Lambert, Gretchen Wilson, Steve Earle, Martina McBride, Lucinda Williams und Lee Ann Womack. Eine weitere Tribute-Of-Veröffentlichung war das Album Butcher Holler – A Tribute to Loretta Lynn von Eilen Jewell, das eine Mischung bekannter und weniger bekannter Loretta-Lynn-Stücke enthielt.

Diskografie

Loretta Lynns Diskografie umfasst 54 Studioalben, 15 Kompilationsalben, 88 Singles und sieben Musikvideos.
