This week's Country Weekly features Loretta Lynn as its cover story, and among other things, she discusses the tribute album Coal Miner's Daughter: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn being released on 9 November to mark her fifty years in country music. In the course of that interview, she doesn't mention Pink at all, but I figured that I would post here anyway just for fun.
OK, that's not true. ;) But fair warning, this is going to turn out to be a nice mention and some baffling and bad news. The article quotes Loretta as saying that she had wanted for Pink to be part of the tribute album, in light of Pink's live version of "Fist City" (I had no idea Pink had covered this song, and haven't yet searched YouTube for video). But Loretta says that Pink's label nixed her involvement on the grounds that she would be releasing her own music at the same time. I have to say that I don't understand this at all, because Pink's greatest hits set is hardly aimed at the same market as the Loretta Lynn tribute album, and if anything, her participation could have expanded Pink's market somewhat. I certainly would have liked to hear what Pink did with the song.
In any case, Loretta noted that Pink may be rock instead of country, but she doesn't care what genre an artist may be in if the artist is good, and Pink is good. A nice compliment from a legend (and someone who has earned that title in more than just the Pulse sense of the word).

That's a pretty cool mention. It makes absolutely no sense for the label to say no though. It's not like they would have been releasing P!nk's cover as a single anywhere.

I will never guess her songs tempos from the titles.
Fucking Perfect is slow and Heartbreak down is upbeat while I thought it was the opposite. Both sound really good.

I don`t like WWFM though. It`s the same production and it seems there`s something off. Maybe because it`s Adam`s song but I was expecting more.

Those new clips sound great to me. love it. Fucking Perfect sounds really interesting too. As for WWFM, I think it sounds fine, and it could be from the fact it's a low quality 'clip' but imo they could have left her voice a bit more raw, it sounds like they polished and produced the vocals just a little too much.

I love F**kin Perfect! Goes well with RYG. Heartbreak Down sounds like it could be good.
WWFM sounds like they used the same exact music as the Lambert recording, which is a bit weird. I still like her voice way more than his.

Yes! So happy to hear the rest of the songs are so much better than RYG. Definitely going to purchase those on iTunes. :]

I think it happened the other way around, cos Pink had already recorded it for Funhouse and honestly I think Lambert's vocals are rip off of Pink's in this song, you can even tell without hearing Pink's version.

Halloween costume... yfrog.com/5rmxpojShe does have a glass on her hands but is that a baby bump? When she finishes touring, she always gains weight but that belly sure is popping out. LOL.

LOVE the video. And after seeing it, I see it as her bad-ass retort to the ever-so-delicate (yet good) "Beautiful" song/video.
Didn't she say she would be presiding over a lesbian ceremony, though? Maybe it went by so quick that I missed it.

Just heard RYG for the first time when I saw the video this morning. Very nice song and extremely catchy! Good job P!nk!

Fucking Perfect is one of her best songs. I`m totally in love with it.
And the rapping bridge? It also gives me a Try This vibe, which I absolutely adore. Hopefully the label makes it the second single everywhere. Lovely song.

"Fuckin Perfect" gives me Try This teas as well. I still think her version of "Whataya Want from Me" will be the best new song on the album.

Parts of f**king Perfect sound like Impossible. I definitely hear that. But I like it better. P!nk's voice automatically makes it superior IMO.
