Welcome to a very special edition of Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living.

I'm Sid Evans, editor-in-chief of Southern Living magazine.

Today's guest came from humble beginnings, but now she's known as country music royalty.

And for the better part of her 60-plus years in the music industry, she's always dressed

for the occasion.

I never had clothes like that before, you know.

Now that I can afford them, you bet I wear them.

And everybody talks about me, wear him. Is she going to wear that big old gowns again? You're damn right, I'm going to wear them

big gowns. I love them. Nominated for 18 Grammys over her career and inducted into the Country

Hall of Fame in 1988, Loretta Lynn is the most awarded

female country artist of all time. Born and raised in Butcher Haller, Kentucky, and a songwriter

since childhood, her hits like This City and You Ain't Woman Enough have become anthems for

every generation that's followed.

Her new album, Still Woman Enough, Loretta's 50th studio record overall, finds this queen of

country duetting with some lifetime friends and fellow stars like Tanya Tucker, Carrie Underwood,

Reba McIntyre, and Margo Price.

On today's show, Loretta tells me how she wrote

Coal Miner's Daughter, her most recognized song and a cornerstone of American music.

Cold Miner's daughter, I sat down on the back porch of the old home face and just looked up the hill and started, well, I was born to

Cole Miner's daughter, and I wrote the song. It's like rat for him and, you know, there's no big

deal. When you're hungry, you can find that you can do a lot of things that you didn't know you could

do. Plus, Cathead Biscuits, The Secret to Loretta's cornbread, and much more today on Biscuits
