Lá nasceu Loretta (Sissy Spacek), uma dos 8 filhos de Ted Webb (Levon Helm), um mineiro que criou sua família, apesar de ser bem pobre. Quando tinha apenas 13 anos Loretta se casou com Doolittle Lynn (Tommy Lee Jones). Com 20 anos ela já tinha 4 filhos e tudo indicava que seria uma dona de casa pelo resto da vida. Nesta época ela começou a cantar ocasionalmente para sua família. Seu dom começou a ser notado por Doolittle, que a presenteou com um violão. Com o estímulo do marido, ela grava um disco independente e os dois fazem de tudo para que o disco seja divulgado. Aos poucos Loretta se torna conhecida no mundo da música country, o que faz com que se torne amiga de Patsy Cline (Beverly D'Angelo), que era na época a maior estrela da country music.
