Lynn postpones album release
Lynn, 85, who suffered a stroke in early May at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., indicated in a statement on Twitter that she wanted to wait until she could return to the road to tour behind it.
"Wouldn't It Be Great" was originally slated for an Aug. 18 release. This was the second album of her Cash Sessions. The disc includes new material along with takes on previously released material. Daughter Patsy Lynn Russell and John Cater Cash, Johnny's son, produced the 13-song set.
"I now want to wait to release it next year because this record is so special for me," she said. "It deserves me at my best and I can't wait to share it. I want to thank everyone for hanging in there with me. I am getting stronger every day and can't wait to get back out there with all of you. I'm just letting everybody know that Willie ain't dead yet and neither am I, and I can't wait to see all of you on the road!"
Lynn also said, "Thank you so much for all of your prayers, love, and support. I'm happy to say that I'm at home with my family and getting better by the day! My main focus now is making a full recovery so that I can get back to putting all of me into what I love, sharing my music with all of you."

Loretta Lynn shows no signs of slowing down at 83. "Full Circle" is her first album since her extremely well-received Jack White-produced "Van Lear Rose," a 2004 masterpiece.
