Loretta Lynn:

You Ain't Woman Enough:(1966)

Fist City:(1968)

Where to begin with Loretta Lynn, other than to say, she's incredible. I mean, she can't be talked about enough for her boundary pushing songwriting. She was way, way ahead of the curve with songs like The Pill, Don't Come Home A Drinkin', and Rated X. Then there's her amazing voice that's tough and tender at the same time. There's a reason this woman is a legend. So, on these two records you find gems like The Darkest Day, and You Ain't Woman Enough, and What Kind Of Girl Do You Think I Am. These albums are Country in the best possibly way. Not to mention, she's being backed by some of the best players in Nashville for their time. It's really hard to go wrong with sixties era Loretta Lynn records, period.
