Van Lear Rose buy CD music Get back home, Loretta! And that's just what she did - with a heapin' helpin' of raw production from White Stripes phenom Jack White. Seems like a weird combo on the surface - country-steeped Loretta is 70, and neo-power-rock Jack's in his 20's, but these two clearly were connected in a former life. Listen to "Have Mercy" and you'll see what I mean. Yo' ears will burn! Every track is riveting, especially the title track and "Little Red Shoes," a freaky spoken-word vignette from Loretta's childhood. Someone should hog-tie Brooks & Dunn, lock them in a Winnebago, and force them to listen to this album until they swear never to record again. Loretta's late spouse, Doolittle Lynn, would have been so proud that she remains a vital artist after all these years. I recalled that in 1984, Loretta and Doo lost their son, Jack, in a tragic drowning. Jack White and Loretta are so connected, I couldn't help but think about reincarnation. Jack took Loretta back home, she wrote some great new songs, and in the process, they redefined what country music REALLY is. When Loretta says there's a bit of (late, legendary producer) Owen Bradley in Jack White, she's spot-on. What an inventive and powerful combination they are.

| Odd Pairing!
Van Lear Rose songs Who would have thought that Jack White and country icon Loretta Lynn would record together. Two different styles,two different generations. I picked this up out of curiosity and was surprised at how good this collection is. Loretta is in strong voice for her age and Jack Whites influence is heard thru out the disk. As always Loretta keeps it country and Jack adds a non traditional twist to the sounds.

| Essential Purchase
Van Lear Rose album for sale I am not a fan of country music, but have always admired Lorette Lynn, probably due in part to the film Cola Miner's Daughter. I bought this CD after it won a Grammy for Best Country Album. I am so glad that I did, it is probably the best album that I have bought in the past 6 months. The songs are catchy and contain those odd lyrical rhymes and phrases for which Loretta is famous (thissheers the Van Lear Rose!). This album is a real winner. If you are thinking about getting it, do so... you will not be disappointed.

| Amazing
Some songs are true to her country roots, others sound like Loretta singing over a great stripped down rock band. The duet "Oregon" alone is worth the purchase price. The mood of the songs range from sweet and reflective to a rowdy night out on the town.
