Raised on a song, grown into her own.
Where the story begins
Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Patsy Lynn Russell grew up surrounded by country music as the daughter of legendary country music icon Loretta Lynn. She was named for her mother's dear friend, Patsy Cline.
Alongside her identical twin sister, Peggy, Patsy began carving out her own place in the music industry. Their shared love of music became the foundation for a career that reached from songwriting rooms and recording studios to the stage.
Finding her own voice
In 1995, Patsy joined Sony/Tree Music as a songwriter. The following year, she and Peggy signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records as the country duo The Lynns. Their debut album arrived in 1998 with 10 songs written by the sisters, and it earned them CMA Vocal Duo of the Year nominations in 1998 and 1999, along with an ACM nomination.
Behind the board, beside her mother
In 2004, Patsy stepped into a larger business role, helping manage her mother's legendary career. She went on to co-produce Loretta's Grammy nominated album Full Circle with John Carter Cash, and to co-write and narrate Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust, Loretta's memoir of her friendship with the late Patsy Cline.
Family has always been the heart of the story.
