Below, watch a new excerpt from the new documentary American Masters -- Loretta Lynn: Still a Mountain Girl, premiering nationwide Friday, March 4 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) and available on DVD -- the same day as Lynn's first new studio album in over 10 years, Full Circle (Legacy Recordings):
In this video clip, Loretta Lynn talks about her friendship and famous duets with Conway Twitty, including "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" (a recording suggestion by Lynn's husband Doolittle). Country stars/spouses Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood explore the effect of two voices singing together and perform part of "After the Fire is Gone."
With unprecedented access to Lynn and her archives, Still a Mountain Girl features never-before-seen home movies, performances and photos of the "Coal Miner's Daughter," as well as insightful interviews with her family, friends and fellow musicians, including Jack White, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Sissy Spacek, Bill Anderson and producer John Carter Cash. The world premiere broadcast airs during Women's History Month and is part of the 30th anniversary season of the American Masters series. More details are below in the film announcement.
