Cissie lynn singing youtube family

A pair of exciting new country albums are coming out of Hurricane Mills, and for the first time ever, Loretta Lynn is producing both of ‘em.

The new CDs are an album of cover versions of classic Loretta songs performed by her daughter Cissie, and an album of original songs from Cissie’s singer/songwriter husband, John Beams.

“Mine is a remake of several of Mom’s old songs. She had asked me if I would do that,” Cissie says in a phone conversation from the popular Cissie Lynn’s Country Store and Music Barn, located near Loretta’s famed ranch and museum at Hurricane Mills.

“I said I was definitely honored to do that,” Cissie continues. “I took them and tried to do them the way they were originally done. Mama is gonna come in and do all the harmonies. To me, if I never do anything the rest of my life, I’m real, real pleased.”

Cissie is keeping the list of songs on her album a secret. She says the tracking is finished on the album, and now they’re working on the vocals.
