*****
Bereits 8 Monate nach ihrem #1-Album "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)", ihrem ersten Gold-Album, erschien schon "Singin' With Feelin'". Dieses war nicht so erfolgreich und erreichte "nur" #3 der Country-Album-Charts. Auf die einzige Single daraus, "If You're Not Gone Too Long", muss man beim Durchhören etwas warten, sie befindet sich ungewöhnlicherweise erst als 4. Titel auf der B-Seite und erreichte #7. Für mich ein schönes Country-Album im spät-Sechziger-Stil, wo sie mir sehr gut gefällt.
Im Review auf Allmusic wird es schön beschrieben und ich gebe es einfach wieder:
"She was into the double digits with albums on Decca by the time this was released, and although recording them involved a formula and must have settled into a kind of science, what a great scientist Loretta Lynn is. "Vocal with instrumental accompaniment" is the understated totality of the liner notes. Permanent pedal steel partner Hal Rugg, joined at the hip to Lynn, is his brilliant self. He is sometimes driven into near frenzy by his trading partner on electric guitar. Drums are especially crisp and snappy on the numbers that shuffle or swing. Lynn also has her fingers in the pop pie, making "Secret Love," at that time a hit for Doris Day, sound just like it was a Loretta Lynn song. Country music is of course known for tragedy and there is plenty of that here to savor. But the high point of the album is, surprisingly, a cute bit of fluff entitled "It's Such a Pretty World Today." Lynn puts literally oodles of good feeling into the lyrics by Dale Noe, resulting in a song that could probably brighten up the worst of days."
