[post_page_title]Loretta Lynn then[/post_page_title]
Country music legend Loretta Lynn made a name for herself early when radio refused to play her politically-focused singles. Her first number one came in 1966 with Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind). From then on, Lynn maintained a steady appearance at the top of the country music charts until her last top ten hit, the 1982 I Lie. Her mark on country music, and honky-tonk in particular, has solidified Lynn as a bonafide idol.
