The album 'Making Love from Memory' was released in 1982 by MCA Records, as Loretta Lynn's second and final studio album of that year. Again produced by Ron Chancey, the record continues Lynn's exploration of country pop, with polished arrangements and contemporary production.
The lead single, 'Making Love from Memory', peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, while the second single, 'I Lie', reached number 18. Despite these modest successes, the album did not achieve lasting impact on the country album charts.
This album is often considered part of a transitional period in Lynn's career, before her return to a more traditional sound in the 1990s. Although not widely remembered, it contains some of her most nuanced vocal performances of the era.
