Singin' with Feelin' is the ninth studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released on October 16, 1967, by Decca Records.[2]

Critical reception

Billboard magazine published a review in the issue dated October 28, 1967, which said that there are "Three extremely well-performed tunes are on this album—but one is so far above the rest the it glows. It's solid, traditional in aspect, soulful in delivery—"I'll Sure Come a Long Way Down". Her other two outstanding songs are pop in nature, "Dark Moon" and "Secret Love", though "Dark Moon" is a country-originated effort."[3]

The album peaked at No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot Country Albums chart. The album's only single, "If You're Not Gone Too Long", peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.
