The coal miner's daughter carries the traditional country torch while managing
to stay current; Loretta Lynn applies tried and true American heartache with
some contemporary flourishes. Still Country features the country radio hit
"Country in My Genes" and the splendidly bittersweet "Table for Two (Party
of One)."
-- Zac Johnson
Loretta Lynn's first album in 12 years found her using music as a catharsis for
the tragedies she'd been dealing with at the time, including the deaths of her
son and husband. Produced by Randy Scruggs, STILL COUNTRY finds Lynn in fine
voice as she pours herself into the Scruggs-penned "On My Own Again," and the
equally pathos-soaked "Table for Two," which both allude to the 1996 passing of
husband and mentor Mooney. But it's on the poignant "I Can't Hear the Music"
where Lynn can be heard openly grieving. Balancing out the sad songs are those
in which Lynn displays her spunk. The best examples are the first single,
"Country in My Genes" (an update of her 1960 breakthrough smash "I'm a Honky
Tonk Girl"), featuring fellow country legend Earl Scruggs (Randy's father) on
banjo, and an equally upbeat version of Rhonda Vincent's optimistic "The Blues
Ain't Workin' on Me." Other highlights include a bright and shiny cover of John
Prine's "Somewhere Someone's Falling in Love," and the high lonesome twang of
the autobiographical "God's Country," penned by Lynn herself.
