The Album That Made Her

"This is the album that made Tammy Wynette THE FIRST LADY OF COUNTRY MUSIC. It would out sell any other album ever released by a female vocalist in country music and would go on to become the first to pass the one million sales mark. This album is the utlimate Tammy Wynette collection. Eleven tracks of pure musical delight! This album should come with a warning, though! Once you have listened to this one, you will not be able to stop. The sound of Tammy Wynette will be in your mind forever!"

One Of A Kind

"As I have stated before in my review of the soundtrack to "Walk The Line", I am not a fan of country music. But once again a movie has made me take a detour into that territory. Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" is played during the opening credits of the film "Five Easy Pieces", and other Tammy songs are featured in the film. After seeing it a couple of times, I couldn't get her music out of my head, so I bought this CD. I have to admit that I like every song to some degree, and I attribute this to Tammy's vocal skills. She takes you into her world of love and heartbreak in and out of apartments and barrooms, and makes you see it and feel it. I especially like "D-I-V-O-R-C-E", with its clever use of spelled-out words, which Tammy handles superbly. I also want to mention the excellent harmony she contributes in the duet with David Houston, "My Elusive Dreams". Tammy makes all of this sound so easy, and I'm sure it isn't. If it was, we'd have 100 Tammy Wynettes, but, nope, there is only one."
