With an impoverished upbringing, a devoted, yet troubled marriage, chronic illness and exhaustion due to her hectic pace, and several tragedies through the years, Lynn's own life often provided the grist for her popular tunes. Her best-selling 1976 autobiography, ''Coal Miner's Daughter'', was made into a hit Oscar-winning film starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones.

Although she was out of the loop for a few years while taking care of her husband, who died in 1996, Lynn returned to touring in 1998. In 2000, she released her first album since 1988 to contain original solo material.<ref> [http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608004026/Loretta-Lynn.html Loretta Lynn at Musician Guide.com] </ref>
