[maggot]

Good morning Wednesday warriors and welcome back to Stuck In The Vinyl Again. Today we are ecstatic to wish country music icon and guitarist/vocalist Loretta Lynn, a very Happy 89th Birthday. Happy Birthday Loretta ! She released her twenty-second studio album, entertainer Of The Year, on February 23rd, 1973 on the MCA label. It was called that because the previous year she had become the first woman to win that award from the Country Music Association. The record reached #1 on the  Hot Country LPs chart and it's sole single, "Rated X" peaked at #1 both stateside and in Canada.
