Her first studio album for Legacy Recordings, Full Circle is also Loretta's first album of new recordings since Van Lear Rose, her 2004 collaboration with Jack White which took home a pair of Grammys including Best Country Album and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals (for "Portland, Oregon"). Full Circle is Loretta Lynn's 40th Top 10 Country album and the highest-charting album she's ever had on the Billboard 200. To-date, Loretta Lynn has been awarded four Grammys including the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.

"I've enjoyed making music for 56 years now," said Loretta when hearing that Full Circle was nominated for the Grammy for Best Country Album. "It feels good to know that people are still listening and appreciate what I do. I'm so thankful and proud."

A favorite with both critics and fans, Full Circle has been prominent on many 2016 Year End Best Of Lists."....strong enough to stand as a career capper - but it's lively enough to suggest she's far from ready to quit," wrote Rolling Stone in its 40 Best Country Albums of 2016 list while Entertainment Weekly called it "...one of her warmest, most memorable collections ever. That her gorgeous, distinctive vocal has lost none of its shine is just the cherry on top." "Her clear, honey-sweet voice twangs earnestly, resolutely, and without a scarp of hesitation," observed Noisey, "because even at age 84, the coal miner's daughter is still a force of nature."
