    "Lynn signed her first contract on February 1, 1960, with Zero Records. She recorded her first release in March of that year, with bandleader Speedy West on steel guitar, Harold Hensely on fiddle, Roy Lanham on guitar, Al Williams on bass, and Muddy Berry on drums. The material was recorded at Western Recorders, engineered by Don Blake and produced by Grashey.[8]

    In 1960, under the Zero label,[9] Lynn recorded "I'm A Honky Tonk Girl." The Lynns toured the country to promote the release to country stations,[7] while Grashey and Del Roy took the music to KFOX in Long Beach, California.[10] When the Lynns reached Nashville, the song was a minor hit, climbing to #14 on Billboard's C & W Chart..."
