Country Royalty Lives On as Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn’s Grandkids Revive Their Timeless Hit originally appeared on Parade.
By 1971 both Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn were county royalty int heir own rights. Twitty was hailed as “The High Priest of Country Music” by comedian Jerry Clower for his devoted following while Lynn was dubbed the “Queen of Country.” But when the two joined forces as the iconic duo Conway & Loretta that year, they were unstoppable.
Their first hit together “After the Fire Is Gone” shot to the top of the U.S. country charts and earned them a Grammy. It was August 18, 1973 when their mega hit “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man” hit #1 on the Billboard chart and took the country world by storm. Over 50 years and 10 albums, seven compilation albums, and 13 singles later, Conway & Loretta live one… through their respective grandkids.
Conway’s grandson, Tre Twitty, and Loretta’s granddaughter, Tayla Lynn, are continuing country tradition as Twitty & Lynn, and proved they live up to their grandparent’s legacy with a stunning cover of the iconic song.
Fans felt like they were transported back in time hearing the two belt out this classic.
“Why isn’t country music like this anymore. This is brilliance,” wondered one fan.
‘They nailed this,” claimed another. “Love Conway and Loretta. To see each of their grandchildren sing there song is amazing!”
“Got to see them live and they are awesome,” vouched another.
To be clear, the pair are not impersonators. The new duo formed in 2018 and while they regularly pay homage to their iconic roots in their shows, the do have new music on the way. But there is no denying they are heavily focusing on keeping their grandparents’ legacies alive.
“Conway and Loretta used to do everything with so much passion: the way they dressed, the way they recorded, the way they performed,” Lynn said in a statement. “We want to bring that to fans who were lucky enough to see our grandparents before and to those who are just learning about them.”
Twitty & Lynn on tour
Currently the two are touring the U.S. with their show Twitty and Lynn Salute Conway and Loretta. Shows span from August 28th all the way to December 13.
The pair of course play the aforementioned hit, but other classics fans can expect are duets like “After the Fire Is Gone” and “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly.” Each of the grandkids sing their solo hits as well like “Hello, Darlin’” and “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”
Both of them see it as an opportunity to grant their grandparents the reunion they never got. Conway & Loretta stopped performing together in 1981 and Conway passed just 12 years later in 1993.
