Singer Loretta Lynn greatly expanded the opportunities
for women in the male-dominated world of country-
western music, was born in Butcher Hollow,
Kentucky 
on April 14, 1932. She is 89 years young today.

Unlike some country-western stars that sang about a
rural working class life but lived an urban middle class
existence, Loretta Lynn’s country roots were authentic.

Born Loretta Webb in a log cabin in the backwoods hills
of Kentucky, she was the daughter of a coal miner who
worked long hours to keep his family fed and clothed.
