As the tributes roll in for "The Coal Miner's Daughter," those that didn't grow up during her breakout years may not know how much of a trouble-maker Loretta Lynn was. A number of the songs for which she is now known were banned by some radio stations and stores. Among those songs that ultimately went Number One despite being banned: "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," "Fist City" and "Rated X."
On this Music Friday, we say a fond farewell with this duet with Willie Nelson, "Lay Me Down."
And, thanks to our friend George Tzougros of the Wisconsin Arts Board for the suggestion.
Loved the trouble making history lesson and the songs to go with.
