Performer: Loretta Lynn
Producer: Owen Bradley Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Personnel: Loretta Lynn (vocals); The Jordanaires (vocals). Liner Note Author: Mae Boren Axton. Recording information: 07/07/1966-07/15/1966. Originally released as COUNTRY CHRISTMAS in 1966, this collection features Loretta Lynn lending her unmistakable voice to a set of Yuletide classics, in addition to a handful of self-penned holiday tunes, most notably the twangy "Country Christmas" and the playful "To Heck with Ole Santa Claus." For fans of both the beloved Lynn and time-honored Christmas songs, this is a perfect disc for December days.
The first country feminist, Lynn developed a hard-hitting persona as the wife who stood no nonsense from her rivals or her husband. Her 1966 hit "You Ain't Woman Enough" exemplified her uncompromising honky tonk approach. She answered Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" in 1975 with the double-standard message song "The Pill," which was banned by several US radio stations. She also formed a successful alliance with Conway Twitty, scoring numerous duet hits. Lynn's bestselling autobiography, COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER, became a popular 1980 film, in which Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for her portrayal of Lynn.
