Third Man Records has announced that Loretta Lynn’s 2004 album Van Lear Rose will return to streaming services on November 13, 2026. A remastered reissue on CD and vinyl will also be available, with the previously vault-only track “Just to Have You Back” added to the album.
Third Man Records says Loretta Lynn’s Jack White-produced album Van Lear Rose will return to streaming services on November 13, 2026, alongside a remastered physical reissue. The record had been removed from streaming platforms in 2021, and its return restores digital access to a Grammy-winning album that marked a major collaboration between Lynn and White.
The reissue was remastered from the original analog tapes and is scheduled for release on CD, standard black vinyl and a limited-edition vinyl version. Third Man Records says pre-orders are underway. The announcement does not specify whether the formats will be available on the same date as the streaming release, beyond identifying November 13 as the return date.
The expanded track list includes “Just to Have You Back,” a rarity that had previously appeared only on Third Man’s vault edition of the album. The label also made the single “Miss Being Mrs.” available on the day of the announcement. The listed album sequence contains 14 tracks, including “Portland Oregon,” featuring White, and “Miss Being Mrs.”
Lynn’s daughter Patsy Russell welcomed the reissue in a statement. Third Man’s announcement also places the release among the label’s recent archival projects: it has separately announced a 20th-anniversary edition of The Raconteurs’ debut, Broken Boy Soldiers.
A Grammy-Winning Album Returns
The streaming return gives listeners access again to an album that joined Lynn’s country songwriting with White’s production and guitar work. Its removal in 2021 left a notable gap in the digital catalog of one of country music’s most recognized artists; the label’s announcement now sets a date for the album’s restoration.
The reissue also adds an incentive for longtime listeners beyond a new physical pressing: “Just to Have You Back” moves from a vault-only release onto the announced album track list. The remaster and several physical formats offer collectors a way to revisit the record, while its digital return makes it available to listeners who do not buy physical albums.
Van Lear Rose earned two Grammy Awards, for Best Country Album and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals for “Portland, Oregon.” Its renewed availability may bring the album to a new audience, though the announcement makes no claims about expected sales or streaming performance.

From Lynn’s Comeback to Reissue
Before working with White, Lynn’s last full-length solo album had been Who Was That Stranger, released in 1988. White persuaded her to record again, and Van Lear Rose followed in 2004, more than a decade after that earlier release. White produced the album, which paired the two artists’ contrasting musical backgrounds.
The album received strong reviews on release and won the two Grammys cited by the announcement. It was later removed from streaming services in 2021; the source report describes the removal as unexplained. Third Man Records’ current announcement addresses the return date and reissue details, but does not explain why the album disappeared from platforms in the first place.
““It is an incredible honor to work again with Jack and his amazing team at Third Man to re-release this incredible album.””
— Patsy Russell, Loretta Lynn’s daughter
Release Details Still Outstanding
Third Man Records has named November 13, 2026 as the date for the album’s return to streaming, but the announcement does not identify which streaming services will carry it or confirm whether availability will be simultaneous across platforms. It also does not provide release-day timing, pricing, or a detailed schedule for the CD and vinyl editions.
The reason the album was taken off streaming in 2021 remains unexplained in the available report. The label has not provided further detail on whether the remaster differs sonically from earlier editions, beyond saying it was made from the original analog tapes.
Streaming and Reissue Arrive November 13
Third Man Records’ announced next milestone is November 13, 2026, when Van Lear Rose is scheduled to return to streaming. Physical editions are available for pre-order, according to the report; buyers can check the label’s release information for format-specific shipping and availability details.
The album’s announced track list runs from the title song through “Just to Have You Back.” The reissue is the next step in restoring the record’s availability, though platform listings and any further explanation of the 2021 removal had not been supplied in the source material.
