Tayla Lynn Honors Loretta Lynn with Tribute Album, ‘Singin’ Loretta’
Tayla Lynn, granddaughter of the legendary Loretta Lynn, is stepping up to carry on the incredible legacy left by her “memaw” in the country music world. With a deep respect for her grandmother’s impact on the genre, Tayla is preparing to release Singin’ Loretta, a heartfelt tribute album that showcases 11 of Loretta’s most iconic songs, as well as some of the hidden gems from her catalog. The album is set to drop on May 30, and Tayla has already released the first single: a rendition of Loretta’s classic hit, “Don’t Come Home A Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind).”
Loretta’s original version of this empowering anthem, released in 1967, was a career-defining moment for her, becoming her first #1 single and a staple of her live performances. The song resonated with fans, particularly women, and its themes of empowerment and resilience are still as relevant today as they were when it first hit the airwaves. Tayla shares that when she performs it live, it’s the song that resonates most strongly with her audience, especially the women, who sing every word with passion.
Tayla, who has always been close to Loretta, shares the special bond they had when it came to music. Growing up, she performed alongside her grandmother and learned how to sing and perform from Loretta herself. Tayla fondly recalls how Loretta would critique her performances, giving her both praise and constructive feedback. This guidance has undoubtedly shaped Tayla’s ability to honor Loretta’s music while adding her own personal touch.
Tayla’s upcoming album, Singin’ Loretta, features the following tracks:
- I Wanna Be Free
- Rated “X”
- There He Goes
- Don’t Come Home A Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind)
- When The Tingle Becomes A Chill
- One’s On The Way
- Blue Kentucky Girl
- You’re Lookin’ At Country
- She’s Got You
- Out Of My Head And Back In My Bed
- The Titanic
Tayla’s deep respect for her grandmother’s legacy is evident in every note, and she’s honored to continue the tradition of singing Loretta’s songs for new generations of fans. As she takes this next step in her own musical journey, she’s sure to carry Loretta’s spirit and influence forward, proving that the queen of country will never be forgotten.
With Singin’ Loretta, Tayla Lynn is poised to become a key figure in keeping the music of one of country’s greatest legends alive. Loretta would no doubt be proud of her granddaughter’s efforts to carry on the torch and share her music with the world.
