Lynn's distinction is as the first female country singer to write her own compositions. In doing so, she proved that women in country were capable of more that just torch songs and pop stylings. "You Ain't Woman Enough," "... more »Don't Come Home A Drinkin'" "I'm A Honky Tonk Girl," "Fist City," and "You're Looking at Country" show a vibrant, independent woman with her own strong beliefs and keen observations. In her songs, she (literally) fights for her man's loyalty, stands up to his abuse, and moves on when he leaves. Among these 16 cuts are duets with Ernest Tubb and Conway Twitty, the controversial "The Pill" (yes, that pill), and her autobiographical trademark, "Coal Miner's Daughter." Lynn's defiant outlook picks up where Kitty Wells left off. --Marc Greilsamer« less

"NO weak songs on this one. Loretta says what she means and it comes from deep down with power. A GREAT / FUN selection of Loretta's songs."

"Loretta really lets loose in this album. She is so much better than today's singers. All of her songs tell a story. She is just the best."
Note perfect single disc summary of key solo works

"Though the track list is shorter (and the timeframe narrower) than 2002's "All Time Greatest Hits," this 1991 release is still a terrific summary of Lynn's key years, spanning from the mid 60s through the mid-70s and hitting most of the highpoints along the way. There are also enough non-hit tracks to keep this from simply being a recitation of Lynn's chart success, but the singular focus on Lynn's solo work does leave other parts of her career, such as the hit duets she recorded with Conway Twitty.
Those looking for an affordable way to school themselves on one of the cornerstone performers of country music could hardly do better than this introduction to the coal miner's daughter. One warning: be prepared to trade it back in for 1994's more thorough 3-disc "Honky Tonk Girl," because as good as this is, it can't even hope to contain all the treasures in Lynn's catalog."
