The story

In 1948, at the age of 15, Loretta marries 21-year-old Oliver "Mooney" Lynn (aka Doo, short for Doolittle), becoming a mother of four by the time she is 19.

After some time, Loretta makes an occasional appearance on local radio.

Burley gives the couple the money needed to travel to Los Angeles to cut a demo tape from which her first single, "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl", is made.
