The White Stripes and the rest of the aforementioned musical acts will be featured on a forthcoming tribute album for legendary singer/songwriter Loretta Lynn. Per her offical website, Lynn’s 50th career anniversary will be commemorated with the November 9th release of Coal Miner’s Daughter: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn.
“I am so happy that these singers wanted to do this record,” said Lynn in an issued statement. “I love ‘em all, and it was so great to hear all the different ways they did my hits… I hope people like it as much as I do and we sell a bunch of records!!”
There is no word on which track The White Stripes will contribute, but they have previously covered Lynn’s song “Rated X” in concert (see below), and a live recording of the cover was released as a b-side for the 2001 single “Hotel Yorba”.
Lynn has described Jack White as a “forever friend”. In addition to the band’s cover, Jack White also produced and played guitar on Lynn’s 2004 record Van Lear Rose.
