Full Circle is the fortieth studio album by American country singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn, released on March 4, 2016 by Sony Legacy. It was produced by Lynn's daughter Patsy Lynn Russell and John Carter Cash, the son of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. The album became Lynn's 40th album to make the top ten of the Billboard Country Albums chart and her album career peak on the pop Billboard 200, debuting at number 19.
Recorded at Cash Cabin Studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee, the album is Lynn's first new studio recording in twelve years. The album is a mixture of recordings inspired by Appalachian folk songs Lynn learned as a child and newer versions of past hits, and includes duets with Elvis Costello and Willie Nelson.
The album's single, "Lay Me Down", was written by Mark Marchetti, husband of Lynn's daughter, Peggy.
Full Circle received a nomination for Best Country Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.
Full Circle was released to strong reviews and near universal acclaim. It received a rating of 84 at Metacritic.com to date[update].Country Weekly called the album "a wonderful and welcome piece of work, 14 solid songs that shift easily from Appalachian mountain soul to pure country and even spiritual fare. Plus, Loretta has simply never sounded better." Pitchfork wrote "She makes a grab-bag late-late-career album feel not only emotionally grounded, but like a powerful choice." Houston Press' positive review writes "For an artist who has been so incredibly prolific, it’s statistically improbable that, at 83 years old, Lynn would be recording some of the best music of her career." Spin opined that it was "a mandatory look back at one of country music’s most essential artists."
