Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind) is a strong album. The songs are typical country. However, Loretta Lynn is a charismatic singer, so the songs are fun and lively.

It's a solid, predictable album. The songs deal with the typical themes and the music is of the same style.

This is a good album and the songs are all good, but I don't think it should be on the 1001 Albums list. The stand out songs are: Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind), Tomorrow Never Comes, There Goes My Everything, The Shoe Goes on the Other Foot Tonight, The Devil Gets His DuesGet What 'Cha Got and Go and I Got Caught.

There seems to be a recent spate of albums that I don't think should be on the list. Perhaps, the 1001 Albums editor put these albums on the list because they had a significance at the time they were made. However, that doesn't suggest that these are timeless albums which is what the title of the book would suggest. If this trend continues, I'll have to change the way I discuss these albums.

★★★★★★★☆☆☆
