Loretta Lynn still country after all these years
ATLANTA -- Loretta Lynn is perhaps the only living country artist who will stop an interview deader than roadkill to inquire: "So how are you doin'?"
When it's gently pointed out that the state of the interviewer's well-being really isn't the purpose of the call, the 73-year-old legend laughs and says: "Sorry, darlin', you know, that's just how I am."
Over a nearly 50-year career, that down-home perspective has been, perhaps, the key to the Hurricane Mills, Tenn., resident's universal appeal.
