Loretta Lynn will release her 50th studio album, Still Woman Enough, on March 19. The record includes collaborations with Tanya Tucker, Margo Price, and Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood, who together join Lynn for the fiery title track.
“I came up with that title years ago,” Lynn tells Sounds Like Nashville. “It’s the title of my 2002 autobiography, co-written by my daughter, Patsy, but I just couldn’t write the song. Patsy and I were going through old song ideas and that one title just stood out to her. She wrote a really great chorus and I started writing the verses.”
It wasn’t long after Lynn started writing the song that she knew she wanted to recruit McEntire to sing on it with her.
“As soon as I had the first verse, I told Patsy, ‘I’m going to get Reba to sing this with me’ and shoot, having Carrie was a big treat for us,” Lynn boasts. “I loved what they’ve added to the song. We are girlfriends singing about being strong women.”
