  • Join us through a tour around Loretta Lynn's birthplace in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky. We talk about her childhood as a coal miner's daughter, the family's modest living conditions, and her early marriage. We get to talk to Mac, a cousin of Loretta Lynn, who provides personal anecdotes and insights into the country singer's early life.
    We also talk about the Webb Grocery store which is a tangible piece of Loretta's history. Alongside the exploration of physical locations, we includes portions of Lynn's songs which serve as a biographical narrative.
    This was so exciting to visit and we're happy to share it with you!

    I LOVE those old general stores. My mom was born and raised not far from this area and we would go visit my grandparents and one of the best memories I have is going to the store for a cold bottle of pop and hearing the creeks in the floor boards and the screen door.

      I love it. I will say in all my world travels the people of Kentucky Appalachia were the nicest I have ever encountered! It was a dream come true to sit on Loretta Lynn’s family porch swing!!! ♥️ Thank you for watching.

    I loved this! It really makes her music come alive to see these places. I grew up listening to Loretta Lynn. My mom played her records often. So glad she had the encouragement to start singing publicly and my goodness but the contributions she made to the music industry! Thank you for taking us to Butcher Holler!

    This was wonderful, thanks. My grandfather was a coal miner in Kellytown, PA. My dad was one of 12 kids. We would go down to the tipple/coal belts as kids. I still have railroad ties we would find, and a few pieces of coal, I have kept them all these years.

    I spent my summers when I was young in that area of Kentucky, my Great Aunt married My great Uncle who was from a town nearby. Langley, KY which lies within 3 miles from what they call the Country Music Highway U.S. 23.

    I remember her being always on the Radio, when I was a kid. We're from SW Virginia, it isn't that far from where she was from later we were in NoVa and she was still on the air. She, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzle and many other old time Country Music artist were part of my childhood and teenage years as that was the music my parents loved.

    THANK YOU so much for this video! Absolutely fascinating. Amazing that her dad raised a family with eight children while having to shovel call in that mine.
    So amazing but two of his children turned out to be country music stars. A true American story!

    25 cents would get ya a pound from me! Those guys were nuts. But they were tough! I found that to be the most profound of the facts you presented. Unfathomable.

      In the 30s and 40s 25¢ would give you a scrape by wage. It would be about equal to around 7 a ton today. Her father had to raise crops and livestock for them to get by.

    Nice presentation! I've been to the home , but not the store. It was free back then and I talked to her relatives. Also, I am fortunate to have talked to Loretta five times.
    I gave her a pastel drawing of her with one of the babies I had someone draw. I hope it's in her museum!

      Very down to earth. I once gave her a coal miner doll and she probably had a thousand of them. But she was gracious enough not to say so.
      The first time was in California 1978.
      The last time was in Washington DC about 2013.
      She signed my CD cover.

      I know so when she references a poor man’s dollar in her song. That is 4 tons of work. Not for the weak, it was a hard job!
