(AP) - Loretta Lynn never was a smoker or a drinker, and she credits that as the reason she's still going strong at 83.

 

However, one thing she will never give up: those frilly sparkly dresses she wears in concert. She says they're heavy, "but hey, work's not easy." Lynn will be the subject of a PBS "American Masters" documentary in March, and she will release a new album called "Full Circle" at that time.

In spite of the name, Lynn says it likely won't be her last album. She says she's got a houseful of kids and grandkids, and she's doing it for them.
