Van Lear Rose is the forty-second solo studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn.

[1] The album was initially intended as a musical experiment, blending the styles of Lynn and producer White.

The title refers to Lynn's origins as the daughter of a miner working the Van Lear coal mines.

[2] Blender magazine called the album "Some of the most gripping singing you're going to hear all year .... A brave, unrepeatable record that speaks to her whole life.

"[4] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said that "The brilliance of Van Lear Rose is not just how the two approaches complement each other, but how the record captures the essence of Loretta Lynn's music even as it has flourishes that are distinctly Jack.
