Loretta Lynn: “Ain’t No Time to Go”

Wouldn't It Be Great

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.
