Pure Classic Country at its best!! Tracey K. Houston recorded this Loretta Lynn tribute album due to the many requests of fans throughout the years who have attended her Loretta tribute show "Hey Loretta, The Girl From Butcher Holler." "I thought it was only natural to release the album on February 1, 2007, the 47th Anniversary of Loretta signing her first record contract on February 1, 1960. Since there were just too many favorites of mine to choose from, I decided this first Loretta tribute album would contain songs from her early career, thus this album contains songs RECORDED by Loretta only during the 1960s. Wanting to pay homage to Loretta's original "early sound", I tried to keep my music as close to the original recording as possible." Below is the write-up about the Loretta Lynn tribute show.
