John Carter Cash is speaking out on the late Loretta Lynn and her impact on his life.
Cash, 52, is the son of the late Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. The country music singer spoke to Fox News Digital about how Lynn had the same "bright light" that was within his mother.
Both Johnny and June passed in 2003.
"Her laughter, her joy, just the fact that she was true, and she’d never changed. She was so aware of her own limitations and strengths," Cash shared of Lynn.

Cash also compared his father's "creative spark" to Lynn's.
"It really stands as one of the greatest examples in music that I've seen," he said. "That's how I saw my father do it. I saw him endure at the end of his life. I saw him make great music and his creative spark just continued to drive. As I saw it in Loretta, and I had a chance to see it in her more than I have anyone else."
