For over four decades 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. Her profound influence on American culture remains current in the 21st century and has inspired a new generation of fans.

The master of the Telecaster, Redd Volkaert is one of the best pickers in the biz. Whether twanging on the road as Merle Haggard's right hand man, or holding his own solo sessions at home in Austin, Redd is one of America's greatest guitar slingers.
