Loretta Lynn has released a new album to glowing reviews, Wouldn’t It Be Great (2018). To promote the album, Lynn has released a video for one of the new songs she wrote for the album, “Ain’t No Time to Go.”
The album highlights Lynn’s skills as a songwriter, as she shows herself in wonderful voice at the age of 86. In addition to new songs by Lynn, the album also features new recordings of “God Makes No Mistakes” (from Lynn’s album Van Lear Rose) and Lynn’s classic “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”
Lynn’s daughter Patsy Lynn Russell and Johnny Cash’s son John Carter Cash produced the album. Russell also co-wrote “Ain’t No Time to Go” with Lynn.
The video for “Ain’t No Time to Go,” by director and photographer David McClister, features Loretta Lynn on a country porch contemplating mortality. But it is a happy contemplation, featuring laughter and dancing. Check it out.

As a kid, one of my jobs was taking out the trash at our house. After I moved away, though, I lived in apartments for most of my life. So taking out the trash just meant putting my garbage in a common receptacle. It was convenient when I lived in a New York City apartment and could walk down the hall and put my garbage in a chute at my leisure. But there was something I missed about having “trash night” when you have to gather all the garbage to put out by the curb for the morning pickup.

(1969). The song is in the tradition of many great country duets, with the couple going back and forth about whether or not the man is cheating. The woman is throwing him out of the house, but the man asks the question of the song’s title about how the garbage will be taken out after he is gone. The song perfectly captures the part that a household chore plays in our lives, and sometimes in our relationships.

Episodes run anywhere between forty minutes and two hours, and each one may examine an artist’s career or may analyze the history behind a certain song, or both. For example, one two-part episode centered on the relationship between Buck Owens and his guitarist Don Rich. Another episode tells the story about how radio stations banned Loretta Lynn’s song, “The Pill.” Another episode focused on Bobby Gentry’s “Ode to Bille Joe” while also giving a fascinating overview of Gentry’s career.
