Who is loretta Lynn's drummer?

Answer 1

Her current drummer is Eric Kaberle. This article was onhttp://www.lorettalynnfan.com/archivednews3.htm Country legend Lynn dazzles at Meskwaki TAMA --- Not many performers can get Country Music lovers fired up like the legendary Loretta Lynn.

Friday night at Lynn's sold-out concert at Meskwaki Veteran's Convention Center, older fans practically swarmed the stage to take pictures of Lynn when she first appeared, not unlike what you'd see at a concert for teenagers.

Lynn was a sight to behold, wearing one of her trademark full-length, full-skirted dresses, this one in a pretty shade of lavender covered with so many sequins that the star sparkled like the Milky Way.

After Lynn's daughter Patsy and son Ernest warmed up the crowd with two songs each, Lynn was introduced and played an hourlong set that was short but sassy. The 73-year-old singer-songwriter ripped through almost 20 songs from her 45-year career, most of them played at an upbeat tempo with nary a Ballad in sight.

Lynn was backed by a seven-man band and three male backing vocalists dressed in black suits with gray vests and neckties.

Lynn's drummer, Eric Kaberle, is a Rowley native who had a large cheering section Friday. At one point, Lynn asked everyone in the crowd who knew Kaberle to stand up, leading son Ernest (who plays acoustic guitar in his mother's band) to quip, "If it hadn't been for Eric there wouldn't be anyone here tonight."

Lynn started the show strong, with "Let Your Love Flow," "You're Looking at Country" and "When the Tingle Becomes a Chill." Lynn's voice sounded solid throughout the show, although she let members of her band sing lead vocals on three songs. Lynn also stepped out of the spotlight so granddaughter Tayla could sing the Lynn classic "Rated X."

Lynn has plenty of chart toppers to her credit, and she didn't shy away from playing them. "The Pill," "Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" and "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)" all fired up the crowd before Lynn finished the show with her trademark song, "Coal Miner's Daughter." Lynn's ability to apply snappy lyrics to serious topics makes the case for her to be considered one of the most important songwriters of her time.

My one disappointment about Lynn's concert is that she didn't play any songs from her critically acclaimed 2004 album, "Van Lear Rose," which was produced by Jack White of rock band the White Stripes and helped introduce Lynn to a new generation of listeners. Maybe next time.
