  Loretta Lynn was one of my favorite songwriters ever. A huge influence on my own writing. Her records from the 60’s and 70’s still shine amongst the best country records ever as was her “comeback” record Van Lear Rose. Her singing was as soulful as anyone ever. RIP.

  Loved every minute of writing these liner notes for @VinylMePlease about Loretta's "Back to the Country." Because what’s important to women was important to Loretta Lynn. https://t.co/ibx9TY8NXZ

  News hits hard with the passing of Loretta Lynn. Her evocative music. Her fierce spirit. A storyteller who used song to channel an America that is quickly vanishing. She was a coal miner's daughter who sparkled like a diamond — brilliant, unbreakable, and resplendent.

  Working with our friend Loretta Lynn was unforgettable. Not only was she a country music legend, but when she joined us on The Muppet Show, she proved she was game for almost anything – even putting on an entire show at a train station! Thanks for the music and memories, Loretta.

  Oh, man. Rest in all kinds of power, Loretta Lynn. We'll miss you. Here's a clip a friend just sent me of @kdlang and me doing Loretta's 'You Ain't Woman Enough' in 1988. https://t.co/zxNebk1pA9
