Honky Tonk Girl is the lively and personal portrait of "The Coal Miner's Daughter". From impoverished Butcher Holler Loretta rose to the pinnacle of the music business singing and writing songs for women like her. The documentary follows Loretta from rural Kentucky to the clubs of the northwest, from her first appearance on The Grand Ole Opry to the 1970's Country Music Entertainer of the Decade. Through hit after hit and unprecedented super-stardom, Loretta never changed from the sweet, innocent and spunky Honky Tonk Girl of her first record.
