Free Music Notes for Van Lear Rose
Free Music Review: She's a little bit country, he's a little bit rock n' roll.
Hit: 4 Stars
Well we all know the story of this album by now, since it was one of the big music stories of the year. Jack White from The White Stripes producing the Coal Miners Daughter. Jack duets on the possible strongest song "Portland Oregon", but otherwise keeps to producing. And while some songs like "Have Mercy", "Mrs. Leroy Brown", and "Portland Oregon" sound like Loretta Lynn fronting The White Stripes, most sound like good ol' Loretta. It's amazing that she wrote all the songs, and sounds this good at 70 years young. Anyone who thinks they might like this, most likely will. After the success of this album, and recent albums by Johnny Cash and Shania Twain, I have a feeling the next great country album is gonna have a rock n' roll producer. Free Music Review: Tin parts rock-a-twang?
Hit: 2 Stars
I don't know the work of the producer. I have always been an avid country, blues and gospel fan. Loretta still sounds great considering her age, however, most of the sample tracks provided for us to listen to sounded tinny. Some of it came close to what I consider heavy metal. Naw, TINNY is the word. There is too much hollow echoing sound. On one of the tracks she was talking and the tinny echoing prevented me from hearing what she was saying. I'd have to hear much more of the overall sound before I'd be willing to buy it.Free Music Review: Wasted Effort

For a legend like Loretta to put out a product such as this is a huge disappointment to me. I love her music but this was not worth the price.Free Music Review: Disappointed
Hit: 2 Stars
I was so disappointed in this CD. It was more rock than country. The music was dissonant, loud, and got on my nerves. I really like Loretta Lynn, but this is definately not one of her better efforts.Free Music Review: A Country Album Anyone Can Grasp Onto
Hit: 5 Stars
I've never been one to shun country music anyway, but this is one country album that can appeal to almost anyone. With Loretta Lynn's sweet and charming vocals mixed with Jack White's edgy production, the result is what country music should be: gritty and touching. Up until the release of Van Lear Rose, Ms. Lynn was basically a has-been, but just like Rick Rubin's masterful productions of Johnny Cash's American Recordings, Jack White has rejuvenated Loretta Lynn's sound and career. The production has not taken away from Loretta's unique sound, rather, it has updated her sound to please her longtime fans and to appeal to newer listeners. Jack White has been unofficially producing albums since he was thirteen, so he is no stranger to getting music onto an album. He's not just a hip, young trophy for Loretta to hold on to. He is a masterful producer who has enhanced Loretta's style. This is absolutely the best album of 2004.
