Eilen Jewell pays tribute to Loretta Lynn
The album, called Eilen Jewell Presents A Tribute to Loretta Lynn, features Eilen and her three piece band working under the name Butcher Holler (the name of Lynn’s birthplace in Kentucky) to differentiate the release from Eilen’s original albums.
It includes a handful of Lynn classics, like 'Ain't Woman Enough (to Take My Man)' and 'Don't Come Home Drinkin' (with Lovin' On Your Mind)', along with lesser known tracks from the Lynn's extensive catalogue.
"We pay homage to her humble roots and straightforward, hard-hitting performance style," says Jewell. "All of the songs in this collection were written by Lynn herself and are a testament not only to her strength as a songwriter but to her personal strength as well. In the 60's and 70's, Loretta Lynn dared to write songs about topics that were widely considered off-limits, especially for women. The fact that her words still hit a nerve today is proof of their timelessness."
Eilen Jewell Presents A Tribute to Loretta Lynn is due out on July 23.
And there are murmurs of another album from Jewell and a second Australian tour next year. Stay tuned.
