Saw Loretta last at The Palace in Louisville, last night. She still has it, and put on a great show, but she twice stopped the show because of a buzzing sound she heard. No one else, at the venue or in the band, heard the noise, but she made all the musicians play individually while trying to isolate what no one else could hear. Curious.
She mentioned that she had recently had surgery. That left me wondering if the what she was hearing was some side effect of some medication she was taking???
Of course she played some of her biggest hits like "Coal Miner's Daughter", "Fist City", "One's on The Way", "Don't Come Home A Drinkin", ect, but she also did "Everyone Wants To Go To Heaven" from the album released last year, and "She's Got All It Takes, And She'll Take You For All You Got" from an album of all original material to be released later this year.
This lady is an icon, and at 84 still sounds pretty damn good. Even if old school country isn't your thing, go see this living legend perform if you get the chance. She is a delight!
