NEW YORK, June 23, 2010 - The memoirs of country music legend Loretta Lynn will be re-issued with a new foreword by the author in September 2010 by Vintage Books, the literary paperback division of The Knopf Doubleday Group, Random House, Inc. LORETTA LYNN: COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER is Lynn's classic memoir, which tells the story of her early life in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, and her amazing ascent to the top of the music industry. COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER is not only the title of Lynn
"I can hardly believe that it’s over 34 years since Coal Miner’s Daughter was first published. It’s something to look back after more than 30 years, and it made me think about all my old friends and family, all the good times and not so good times. I hope you enjoy Coal Miner’s Daughter all over again. Or if you’re coming to it for the first time," wrote Loretta Lynn in her new foreword.
Loretta Lynn is the undisputed queen of country music. Her fifty-year recording career will be celebrated throughout 2010, including a special Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony. 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of Loretta Lynn's first single release and the 30th anniversary of the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" starring Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones.
Born into abject poverty, married at thirteen, mother of six, and a grandmother by the time she was twenty-nine, Loretta Lynn went on to become one of the most prolific and influential songwriters and singers in modern country music. Here we see the determination and talent that led to her trailblazing career and made her the first woman to be named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association and the first woman to receive a gold record in country music.
