Following the success of Loretta Lynn's latest album, Van Lear Rose, which scored her highest-ever debut on the Billboard 200 album charts at No. 24 and was just nominated for the Shortlist Music Prize in the U.S., there are plans for her and producer Jack White of The White Stripes to make at least three more records.

If Lynn has her way, they'll do a Christmas collection, a religious album called Thank God For Jesus, and another disc of original material.

"A lot of artists have asked him to record 'em and he just don't say anything," Lynn told the Sun this week. "I'm the only one that he'll ever work with."

They also want to hit the road together. "We're planning on doing something in the fall," she said. "We want to do that, him and I do. We're going to tell the managers exactly what we're going to do so there ain't nothing they can do about it!"
