5.0 out of 5 stars Raise the flag, fire up the grill...., September 12, 2000

This review is from: Still Country (Audio CD)

after years without an original new material album, Loretta is back with "Still Country". And Loretta has every right to smile in the many album pictures; this album is good - actually outstanding. As suggested by the album title, Still Country, this is a true country sounding album. But you won't find any of those lyin', cheatin', honky-tonkin', having babies, and fighting songs that are so identified with Loretta. What is carried over from the 'old days' is a strong voice in fine vocals, quality musical material and packaging all wrapped up in one, very enjoyable and listenable package - not exactly a small accomplishment. All the songs are winners. There are four fast songs, the best being Country In My Genes and The Blue's Aren't Working On Me. Most of the songs, are what I would consider medium tempo and seem much shorter than the three minutes most of them last. The best song by far on the album is I Can't Hear the Music - a beautiful tribute to Loretta's late husband that will leave even the strongest listener with moist eyes; a definite award winning song. Overall, Loretta and crew have done a fine job on this outstanding album. Let's hope we don't have to wait 12 years again for Loretta's next album, you will want to hear more after listening to this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, September 13, 2000

This review is from: Still Country (Audio CD)

Wow! How refreshing to hear a collection of songs sung so wonderfully by a "legend" who lives up to the title "Still Country". Loretta is such a professional, class act who can stand her own among any female vocalist today. The music on this CD ranges from modern day working girl, to proud country roots, to the heartache of losing someone you love. "I Can't Hear The Music" is a song co-written by Loretta as a dedication to her late husband. With raw emotion and real-life tears this is a song that is full of beauty and heart-break together. Loretta deserves a lot of credit and many congratulations for this CD -- this treasure! I encourage and challenge country radio to grace the airways with this great country music. This is a "must-have" addition to anyone's music collection. Thank you Loretta!

When you think of Loretta Lynn you think of all of the songs that she has recorded over the years... Coal Miner's Daughter talked about her childhood. Don't Come Home a Drinkin' , You Ain't Woman Enough, Squaw is On the Warpath and Fist City spoke of marital woes. One's On the Way and Pregnant Again talked about having children and raising them. We have heard her literally sing through an entire woman's life.... Somehow her popularity fell off in the 90's and late 80's... I have often wondered why. This albums shows why - Loretta has to be Loretta and here she is again and this time singing through the death of a spouse. The heart and soul that is felt on this album is unmistakably LORETTA LYNN and it is wonderful to hear such and incredible artist still singing and "STILL COUNTRY!" It is unfortunate that "Country In My Genes" is the first single.... it is not the best this album has to offer. By far the emotion of "I Can't Hear The Music Anymore" and "On My Own Again" are some of the best music I have heard out of Nashville since Reba McEntire's album after the untimely death of her band. The best up tempo music on a genuinely strong CD is "The Blue's Ain't Workin' On Me" and Loretta is at her classic best with tunes like, "Don't Open That Door" and "Hold Her." Music is suppose to express real emotion and heart and so often it misses the mark.... not this CD. This is the OLD honesty of Loretta Lynn with the new wisdom and grace that comes from life experience. GET THIS CD!!!! Best I have heard in years!
