I grew up on Loretta Lynn and Dusty Springfield. I remember lying about it; it wasn't cool to listen to country when I was 12.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's kind of odd when you think of Loretta Lynn, when she was first traveling and recording country music. It was all built through word of mouth. If you pleased the fans, they would pass it around to their friends and family.
I just love Dolly so much, and Loretta. They both are songwriters that knew what they wanted to say; they were bucking a system.
My love, growing up on the Prairies, was country music.
Elvis was a big influence to my music, but Loretta Lynn was, as well.
I didn't grow up listening to country music. I pretty much grew up rebelling against country music.
Loretta Lynn was one of those ladies a long time ago that opened a lot of doors and paved the way for a lot of ballsy singer-songwriters who weren't just cute.
I grew up singing Ray Charles and Jimmy Reed.
I'm a big fan of country music.
What I loved about country music when I was a kid was the Grand Ole Opry, was 'Hee Haw,' was 360 degrees of entertainment.
I've always listened to and loved country music ever since I was a kid.
