Answers: I'm in love with Emmylou Harris,and the pure voice she has,so I'll go with her on this one,I' sorry Loretta,I know you are the Queen.

Loretta Lynn for me

I have to go with EmmyLou. I just love her voice. Loretta will always be the Queen, but EmmyLou just makes this song!

Emmy Lou owns that song when she sings it. I know Ky. is probably closer to Loretta's heart, but that pure bluegrass voice of Emmy Lou knocks this one out of the park.

In truth, I think both versions are terrific. Loretta sings it's from the heart, having been subjected to her poverty and life experiences in Appalachian Kentucky. That is, her version conveys an almost indescribable bit of "soul" that can be heard in her voice.

On the other hand, and realizing the Emmylou has a better voice (technically,) and given the benefit of more modern recording equipment + superior studio musicians, her version is more sophisticated, and therefore, sounds more pleasant to the average listener.

So.....my answer is "both" not "better."

Kind of sounds like an answer you'd get from a politician, eh?
LOL.

EmmyLou for Me

Emmylou for me. Both were good though.

Wow! I love them both! But, Loretta has a little more country soul in her voice! To me, she's more classic country! Emmylou has sung with many pop artist, so I'd eliminate her from this category.

i for one like loretta lynn
coal miners daugher is one of my favorite songs

Emmylous version.

Loretta for me. However that may not be an unbiased answer b/c I have not heard Emmylou's version.

I am most partial to Loretta Lynn's version but as always Loretta is hard to beat no matter what the song title is or the subject matter of the song.

Loretta's original, hands down.

Two reasons: first, Loretta IS from Kentucky. It just sounds funny to hear someone from Alabama refer to herself as a "blue Kentucky girl." Second, Loretta's version has Harold Morrison's lovely banjo playing, which makes the version a winner with everything else being equal.
