Wouldn't It Be Great is Loretta Lynn's forty-fourth studio album, released on September 28, 2018. Originally scheduled for 2017, its release was delayed because Lynn suffered a stroke in May 2017, from which she recovered.
The album contains mostly original songs written by Lynn, including the title track 'Wouldn't It Be Great', which deals with themes of aging and reflection. It also includes a cover of Patsy Montana's 'Ruby's Stool' and a collaboration with Todd Snider on 'Ain't No Way to Live'.
The album received generally favorable reviews, highlighting Lynn's resilience and storytelling ability. It peaked at number 82 on the Billboard 200 and number 10 on the Top Country Albums chart. It was her last studio album released during her lifetime.
