Grammy-nominated writer and researcher Scott B. Bomar and ASCAP award winning songwriter Paul Duncan have released the 50th episode of their bi-weekly podcast, Songcraft: Spotlight on Songwriters, featuring an in-depth conversation with Lynn.
The conversation includes Lynn discussing why we’ll never hear all the verses she wrote for “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” what she told Jack White about songwriting that he didn’t “get,” what she really thinks about Willie Nelson, how she reacted when her songs stirred up controversy, and why she doesn’t give career advice.
