Exclusive Song of the Day: "Wildwood Flower," Loretta Lynn

One country legend pays tribute to another.

"Wildwood Flower" was the last song on the last album June Carter Cash recorded during her lifetime. Given such significance, the producers of the new tribute album "Anchored in Love: A Tribute to June Carter Cash" weren't going to let just anyone tackle that particular tune. But they found a perfect match in country music legend Loretta Lynn, who, at 72 years old, lends her still strong and sparkling voice to a song that, like so much classic folk, is even sadder than it initially sounds.
