Released in 1966, this album was Loretta Lynn's second of that year and continued her streak of hits. The title reflects her preference for traditional country music, at a time when the genre was beginning to blend with pop. The album reached number 2 on the Billboard country albums chart.
Recorded at Owen Bradley's studio in Nashville, the album includes covers of songs by artists such as Ernest Tubb and Hank Williams, as well as original compositions by Lynn. The production maintains Bradley's signature sound, with prominent steel guitar and fiddles.
Although it did not produce a number-one single, the album was well received by critics and fans, solidifying Lynn's reputation as an authentic country performer. Songs like 'I Like 'Em Country' and 'The Minute You're Gone' became concert favorites.
