Excerpt from NPR "FIRST LISTEN:"

Among the producers who worked on the latter project were Lynn's daughter Patsy Lynn Russell, who had a country-singing sister duo in the late '90s, and John Carter Cash. He was babysat backstage by Lynn in his youth, he steered the final studio recordings by his own mom June Carter Cash in the aughts, and he saw up close the profound, and circumscribing, effect that a series of stark, folk-gothic, late-in-life albums had on his dad Johnny Cash's enduring image; younger listeners have remembered the Man in Black mostly for his darker side ever since. Russell and the younger Cash produced Full Circle, too. They know Lynn's body of work as well as anyone, the aspects of it that get the bulk of the attention — like the feisty messages in her songs — and the aspects that have been overlooked or forgotten.

She's such a legend! She sounded great still. My favorite was "Wine Into Water", and her cover of "Always on My Mind" was beautiful.

I've really been enjoying this album. It's completely different from Van Lear Rose, more traditional country, less alt-country, but dang is it good. While Loretta's voice isn't as potent as was in the 60s and 70s, this album has some of the most passionate singing we're likely to hear on a country record this year.

My favorites so far are:
Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven
Always On My Mind
Water Into Wine
In The Pines

It's great to see Loretta likely to have her highest-peaking album on the Billboard 200 at age 83, 56 years into her career.

We're truly so blessed to have her still making music, thank God!
