1993: Lynn Teams Up with Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette
In 1993, Lynn, Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette released the hit album Honky Tonk Angels. The project featuring the three country goddesses had been rumored for over a decade, as you can see above in this picture from the early 1980s, until Parton’s persistence finally made it happen. In 1996, Lynn’s husband passed away just a few days shy of his 70th birthday. This unexpected loss shaped Lynn’s artistic output going forward.
