Coal Miner's Daughter is the sixteenth solo studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn.

The album and song's title would later be used for the name of Lynn's best-selling autobiography as well as the 1980 Oscar-winning movie starring Sissy Spacek.

[2] In the issue dated January 16, 1971, Billboard published a review of the album that said, "The one and only Loretta Lynn has cut another great package here.

"[4] Cashbox also published a review in their January 16 issue which said, "Loretta Lynn has long been one of country music's most outstanding and most important female vocalists.

Contents run like this: "Less of Me", "Anyone, Any Worse, Any Where" are super fine; "For the Good Times" is oversung but she really sinks her teeth into "Man of the House".

Recording sessions for the album took place at Bradley's Barn in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, on April 9, July 14 and 15, and August 19, 1970.

"Coal Miner's Daughter" had been recorded during the October 1, 1969 session for 1970's Here's Loretta Singing "Wings Upon Your Horns".
