LYNN,LORETTA - VAN LEAR ROSE Expanded Orange Vinyl LP

Expected: 11/13/2026

In January of 2004 recording commenced on Loretta Lynn's 42nd solo album. This particular album was poised from the start to be a unique and standalone installment in a long well established, unbelievable, legendary, career already spanning five decades due to the role of producer going to none other than a 28-year-old Jack White.

White, a long time admirer of Lynn's work, leapt at the chance to conduct this musical experimentation of blended styles and see what fruits the two very separate but cosmically intertwined approaches to writing, playing, and producing music could yield. The album would go on to win the 2005 Grammy Award for Country Album of the Year, with its second single "Portland, Oregon" winning Best Country Collaboration with Vocals. A litany of other accolades were to follow and the record firmly cemented itself in the annals of Country music history as the most successful crossover album of Lorettas historic career. Twenty-two years later, we're still celebrating it.

Third Man Records is proud to announce Van Lear Rose Expanded. Now including the additional track "Just to Have You Back," previously only available to members of The Vault vinyl subscription series, rounding out an already impeccable tracklist.

"The variety of styles and types of songs on Van Lear Rose — everything from heartache ballads and country rave-ups to story-songs and gospel — illustrate the depth and range of her writing. These are songs that hold their own with her greatest hits, and while it's unlike anything else she's cut, this is surely one of her great albums." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine
