Loretta Lynn - Somebody Led Me Away (1980)

Neko Case did a fine cover of this tune, but it'll always be Loretta's song. Produced by Owen Bradley.

For the guilt I'm feeling this time over leaving is that it's so easy to do

You know what’s kinda funny to me, how people say they hate or dislike country music because it’s only about a guy losing a girlfriend or wife and drinking his sorrows away.

But if you listen to some of the older songs it’s more than that. They tell stories about soldiers who didn’t make it, missing an opportunity, a baby being born and how they changed the parents’ lives, mental health, abuse, death, the way your view on love changes as you age, disabilities, battles, how the good book can help you find a higher power, ghosts.

The people who are saying that they don’t like country music are probably only listening to the newer artists, not taking the time to go back and see the older generation and hear the stories they have to tell.

If you’re interested I can add a few songs to listen to! 🥰🤟🏻

Loretta Lynn with Sissy Spacek who portrayed the Coal Miner’s Daughter in Michael Apted’s 1980 movie. Spacek’s performance won her the Oscar and is among the best I have ever seen.
