12 Days: Loretta Lynn - "Country Christmas"

Check back here every day until the 25th, also known as the widely suffered through Christian omniholiday known as Christmas, for some of my favourite yuletide jams.

On the 7th day of Christmas, my true blog gave to me: the queen of western halls-decking and jingle-belling, Loretta Lynn, putting her aw-shucks stamp on the holiday to end all holidays. Sometimes it's OK not to be cynical about this time of year (even though this is the same woman who sang "Christmas Without Daddy" and "To Heck With Ole Santa Clause").
