Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics, (Hardcover)

Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics One of the most beloved country music stars of all time gives us the first collection of her lyrics and, in her own words, tells the stories that inspired her most popular songs, such as "Coal Miner' s Daughter," "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin"," and, of course, "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl." Loretta Lynn's rags- to-riches story--from her hardscrabble childhood in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, through her marriage to Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn when she was thirteen, to her dramatic rise to the top of the charts--has resonated with countless fans throughout her more than fifty-year career.

Now, the anecdotes she shares here give us deeper insight into her life, her collaborations, her influences, and how she pushed the boundaries of country music by discussing issues important to working-class women, even when they were considered taboo.
