RIP Loretta Lynn

[ChonkyTonks]

There are hundreds of not thousands of young Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty grade high nasal honky tonk singers on this very day.

The Key is in the Mailbox is about sixty years old now.

Authentic country, anytime you want to crack a smile, listen to “fist city”.
They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
