For 50 years now, Loretta Lynn has fashioned a body of work as artistically and commercially successful - and as culturally significant - as any female performer you'd care to name.

Her music has confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans alike. The "Coal Miner's Daughter" - the tag refers to a hit single, an album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film and to Lynn herself - has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to Nashville superstardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness American icon.

Celebrate Lynn's 50th anniversary as a recording artist with an unforgettable evening of music and stories.
