Tammy Wynette

Tammy Wynette During her heyday of the late '60s and '70s, Tammy Wynette was called "The First Lady of Country Music," an honorarium that spoke to both her elegance and popularity. Wynette dominated the country charts starting in 1967, when "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad" rocketed into the country Top Ten, quickly followed by the number one David Houston duet "My Elusive Dreams," and ending in the '70s, when the Top Tens slowly faded away. Over the course of that decade, she recorded hit after hit with Billy Sherrill, a producer who cannily steered her toward writing and singing material that played upon country tradition while addressing modern issues. "I Don't Wanna Play House" and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" were heartbreak songs that tapped into the shifting society of the late '60s, a situation her signature song "Stand by Your Man" also tacitly addressed by reasserting old-fashioned values in a time of change.

Known as "the first Lady of country music", Tammy Wynette charted 73 us country hits, 20 of which were # 1s. Her first # 1 was the duet with David Houston, "my elusive dreams", included in this set. In the UK, she reached # 1 with the perennially popular "stand by your man" In 1975 (for which she won a Grammy), and had follow-up hits with the equally popular "D.I.V.O.R.C.E" And "I don't wanna play house" (For which she won another a Grammy). married to fellow country legend George Jones from 1969 to 1975, they recorded many hit duets together, eleven of which are featured in this set. Nearly all produced by country music's best-known producer Billy sherrill, this sixty track 3 CD set features tammy's top hits.

Tammy Wynette (born Virginia Wynette Pugh) was an American country music singer-songwriter and one of country music's best-known artists and biggest-selling female singers. She was called the "First Lady of Country Music". This is Tammy Wynette's eighth studio album, originally released on October 5, 1970, by Epic Records.

In many ways, Tammy Wynette deserves the title of "the First Lady of Country Music." During the late '60s and early '70s, she dominated the country charts, scoring 17 number one hits. Along with Loretta Lynn, she defined the role of female country vocalists in the '70s.

It is probably appropriate that Tammy Wynette seems to be the only performing artist to ever release an album entitled Womanhood. The title song of this 1978 release, yet another hit from the clever songwriter Bobby Braddock, has become something of a legend, although not quite on the popularity level of the eternal "Stand by Your Man"." Unlike that Wynette anthem, "Womanhood" hands out the kind of advice most parents probably wish rabbis and priests were giving to adolescent girls. As good as Braddock is, though, he should have written another verse for this song; nothing quite lives up to, or down to, the opening line rhyming the name "Patricia" with "tried to kiss ya."
