I saw RF in Portland, Maine back in the '90's. Great show.
It was just him and a guitar, no band. He was great. Very talented. I didn’t know much about him at the time. Didn’t realize how many hits he wrote for other artists.
Hee signature song and the title of the movie about her is Coal Miner’s Daughter, but like many other hillbilly boys I’ll always regard The Home You’re Tearing Down as Loretta Lynn’s best song:
Beginning with a crying steel guitar, there’s the line—
Once some happy faces, would have met you at the door
But since their Daddy’s gone so much, they don’t smile anymore
There’s shattered parts of broken hearts, just scattered all around
Come over any time and see, the home you’re tearing down
A classic nasal hillbilly twanger needs to be that sad.
It’s her masterpiece.
