Loretta Lynn, Live At The 2014 Americana Music Awards

It doesn't get much better than Loretta Lynn singing her life's story on the stage of Ryman Auditorium. That's the stuff of legends; the stuff on which country-music dreams have been built for more than a few decades. After accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award for songwriting from Kacey Musgraves and Angaleena Presley, a decked-out Lynn launched into a seemingly effortless rendition of "Coal Miner's Daughter," sounding as spirited as ever. It was a highlight of an already unforgettable evening.
