Dynamic, sassy American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn was one of country music's top vocalists and songwriters during the 1960s and 1970s and is still revered the world over as a country music icon. She dominated the country music charts during the 1960s and 1970s, racking up more than 70 hits as a solo artist and a duet partner. Songs that hit the top slot on the charts include "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," "Fist City," "Woman of the World (Leave My World Alone)," Coal Miner's Daughter" (also the title of her award-winning biographical film starring Sissy Spacek), "Rated X," "Trouble in Paradise," "Somebody, Somewhere," "Love Is the Foundation," and "Out of My Head and Back in My Bed." Many of her songs were controversial, hitting on sensitive women's issues, and some were banned from radio broadcast.

Born Loretta Webb, she was the second of eight children. Her baby sister is country singer Crystal Gayle. She was the daughter of a coal miner and her childhood was spent in abject poverty. As a result, it influenced her music in later years. Loretta married only once—48 years to husband Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn (he was also called "Doo" and "Mooney"). They married in 1948 in her home state of Kentucky, a few months before Loretta turned 14. She gave birth to four children before she was age 18, and then had twin daughters in 1963. She became a first-time grandmother when she was the ripe-old age of 29.
Her marriage to Doo, for the most part, was rocky, and she considered leaving Doo several times because of his drinking and unfaithfulness. In her 2002 autobiography, Still Woman Enough: A Memoir, she shared many of her heartaches during the marriage: Doo left her when she was pregnant, slept with her brother’s wife, and also left her alone to deliver a baby son on her own, drank heavily all the time, spent her money like it was going out of style. They fought all the time. But, she never left him. In a 2002 CBS News interview, she said that despite everything, she loved him and was concerned how a divorce would harm her children. "I didn't need him, but he was my kids' daddy. Why leave hearts laying on the floor for me. I had to think of my kids. I can't be that selfish. He broke my heart lots of time, but that woulda broke the kids' hearts, wouldn't it?" Doo died in 1996 from diabetes brought on by his alcoholism.
Two of Loretta's daughters run the family's Hurricane Mills ranch in Tennessee, where two millions fans and tourists visit each year. Loretta took ownership of it in 1966. It includes campgrounds, a concert pavilion, a western town, and the Coal Miner's Daughter Museum. Tour show the plantation home where Loretta lived until she built a new house a few years ago, a museum, and a replica of the cabin in which she was born. The Amateur National Motocross Championships are held at Hurricane Mills every year.
Nicknamed "The First Lady of Country Music," Loretta's accomplishments as a solo artist and with singing partner Conway Twitty are inspiring and laudable. She has written more than 160 songs and released 70 albums. She has had 17 Number 1 albums and 16 Number 1 singles on the country charts. She's won numerous awards for her albums and singles, setting remarkable records in many categories. One of these was when she was selected to be the first woman to win the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year trophy in 1972 (a huge honor) and Loretta was the first country star to appear on the cover of Newsweek Magazine in 1973. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1986. In 2003, Loretta was a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. Even in her 70s, she was still penning new songs and performing at packed concerts.
When it comes to fried chicken, you have to trust the South. No matter how well David Chang can crisp up a chicken leg, no one knows better than Southerners when it comes to battering and frying chicken. We get the need to experiment when it comes to food -- it's how we've been blessed with molecular gastronomy -- but when we're dealing with fried chicken we suggest going all classic all the time.
Lucky for us, we have the best Southern resource for a dish as epic as fried chicken: John Besh. If you're not familiar with John Besh, he's a renowned chef born, raised and currently cooking in southern Louisiana. This fried chicken is not his recipe, but his grandmother's (which makes it even better).
When it comes to a dish like fried chicken it isn't about the latest culinary advances that makes it great, but tradition. In a great fried chicken recipe you can almost taste the history. It's not the ingredients that make it special, but the passing down of little tips through generations that make all the difference between good fried chicken and one that's transcendental.
There’s some mystical, magical mojo that happens in a cast iron skillet when you fry chicken in there. My theory is that, because it’s cast iron, it maintains the heat better than any large vessel (like a Dutch oven) can at home. It better replicates a deep fryer at a restaurant. And it’s important to maintain that heat because the lower the temperature of the oil goes, the more of it that gets absorbed into the chicken. If your fried chicken is greasy, it’s because your oil didn’t stay hot.
Hence the cast iron. Once you have that–and you’ll want to use a large one (I borrowed my friend Diana’s)–the rest takes care of itself.
Still, if you want it to be the Best of Your Life, you’d be wise to soak the chicken overnight in buttermilk spiked with a little Tabasco sauce. I bought two 4 pound chickens, cut them up into 10 pieces, put them in a large Tupperware that was filled with a carton of buttermilk whisked with 10 dashes of Tabasco.
The next day, I brought the chicken to room temperature and dumped a bunch of flour (3 cups or so?) into a large bowl and spiced it with some ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, whatever I could find. Salt too. A good tip here it to taste the flour mixture raw (gross, I know) just to get a sense of how flavorful it is. Just put a little on your finger and taste; you’ll be glad you did.
