The First Lady of Country Music, Loretta Lynn, passed away earlier this week leaving behind a legacy of country music. Lynn, of Scot-Irish decent, was the first woman singer-songwriter in Country music, breaking down barriers for women of country music around the world. Lynn wrote about heartache, relationships, hardships and life in "Butcher Holler", her home town. Today, we honor the Queen of Country Music along with music from Clare Dillon, Matt McGinn & Aoife Scott, Iona Fyfe, Breahbach, Brenda Castles, Leigh Bruckerville, Bonfire Radicals, Picture This, Brian Deady, Ronan Keating, and Lisa Lambe.
