Welcome, 1971! Once again, we have a super-twangy country record making it onto the pop charts. This recent country #1, an autobiographical Loretta Lynn song, originally had ten verses. Producer Owen Bradley told Loretta that the lengthy “El Paso” had already been done and the world didn’t need another one. She complied and cut out a few verses, now forever lost. The song served as the basis for a self-penned book and the 1980 movie starring Cissy Spacek.
