    Hymns is Loretta Lynn’s first gospel album, released in 1965 during one of the busiest periods of her early career. Rather than simply sounding like a collection of traditional church songs, the album blends classic hymns with country-gospel performances that feel warm, direct, and deeply personal. Highlights include “How Great Thou Art,” “Peace in the Valley,” “Where No One Stands Alone,” and “Where I Learned to Pray,” the latter being one of two songs Lynn wrote for the record. For fans of classic country with a spiritual, homespun feel, this is Loretta Lynn at her most heartfelt.
