Country legend Loretta Lynn is taking it one day at a time.

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter underwent shoulder replacement surgery Thursday and is expected to make a full recovery, spokesman William Smithson told reporters. Lynn was set to remain in the hospital to rest throughout the weekend.

The 71-year-old "You Ain't Woman Enough" artist broke her shoulder Sunday in a fall at her Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, home, prompting her to cancel nine upcoming shows to allow for healing time. All of the shows will be rescheduled, according to Lynn's Website.

She also canceled a couple of shows in February 2005 when she was suffering pain from a back injury.

Lynn, perhaps best known for her 1971 album Coal Miner's Daughter (and for being portrayed by Sissy Spacek in the Oscar-winning film of the same name), has recorded with musicians ranging from Willie Nelson to George Jones to Jack White. She and the White Stripes frontman teamed up for 2004's Van Lear Rose, winning Grammys for Best Country Album and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for the song "Portland Oregon."

On Sunday Lynn was mentioned in an article in the Miami Herald, along with Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and others, about "country stars who stirred things up." Lynn was cited for her controversial 1970 song about a woman's right to use contraceptives, "The Pill," which was banned by several radio stations for being a little bit country and a whole lot risqué.
