Any person who has tried to define Emmy as a silver spoon, entitled kid should blush. The texture of experience and faith in Emmy's story has prepared her to love others in a powerful way. Call me a fan.

This was the interview I needed to see, to get to learn about Emmy, and not just about "Loretta Lynn's Granddaughter". She and her cousin Tayla Lynn, along with the other musicians in the family, all need to find their own places, and not feel so pressured to fill the shoes of the Legendary Loretta Lynn... because nobody will ever be able to do that. Meemaw is very proud of the musician and the woman you are, Emmy. She will always be there to guide you, but you have to put in the work. You're going to be great!

Emmy Russell is such a fascinating person of her own. It seems to me like there's too much focus on her grandma during the interview. The host has a great rapport with Emmy though.. maybe if I listen to the rrest some more about Emmy will come out.

I related to Emmy when she said it was hard to pick up a guitar after meemaw died. I felt the same after my daddy died when I was a young teenager. Daddy was a well known and respected musician. My biggest regret/remorse is I still to this day don't play. I'm so very proud of Emmy. She's healing her pain through the music. Always be true to yourself Emmy! You don't have big shoes to fill - your shoes fot you perfect!😊 Big hugs to you!

Peggy and patsy lynn are excellent Identical Twin singers. Just like their mother. It is an honor and privilege that my fraternal twin brother and I who were born August 6th, 1964 in Brooklyn, NY share the same exact Birthday, day and year with the Lynn twins. We have the Birth certificates to prove it. We will not make any claims against the Lynn Family because it's totally unnecessary All I know is we have the documents and need nothing else. We are looking forward to sharing our 60th Birthday with the Lynn twins.

The Lynn Family are Wonderful people.I Loved Peggy and patsy lynn in the movie " Fire Down Below" with Steven Segall One hard solid fact needs to be known. I have absolutely nothing against the Lynn Family and I Loved Loretta Lynn's singing. Here is a hard solid truth and nothing is trying to p be gained that would be beneficial nor any claims being made. Peggy and patsy lynn were both born August 6th, 1964 in Hurricane Mills Tennessee. Well , my name is Alfred. I have a Fraternal twin brother named Armand. We were both born August 6th, 1964.in Brooklyn, NY The exact same day that the Lynn twins were born. All four of us will be 60 years old on August 6th , 2024.we have the Birth certificates to prove it but we don't need to. We don't want to rock the boat but it's the truth. Believe it or not.

@s.nelson256 Ай бұрын

I would have agreed with you two weeks ago on one point, that her performances were somewhat forgettable. Until she sang Coal Miner's Daughter, which was unbeatable in my opinion, and it showed what she is capable of. But otherwise from what I have seen, she has tried to not talk about her grandmother, and people keep bringing it up. She is trying to be her own artist.
