Playlist: The Very Best of Tammy Wynette

Performer: Tammy Wynette
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: PLAYLIST: THE BEST OF TAMMY WYNETTE collects many of the legendary country vocalist's most popular hits from the 1960's and '70s. The compilation does a fine job of showing why the Mississippi native's tear-jerking twang and sensitivity to the plight of the common man (and woman) earned her the title of "First Lady of Country Music." While there are more comprehensive Wynette career overviews on the market, PLAYLIST is a fine introduction for the uninitiated and includes the original versions of her classics "Stand by your Man" and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E."

An American original and a genuinely legendary queen of country music for decades, Tammy Wynette was a cultural icon from the first minute anybody heard her version of "Stand By Your Man" on the radio. Over the rest of her lengthy career, she triumphed over a genuine soap-opera of a private life (including the highly public crackup of her marriage to another living country legend, George Jones), racked up scores of country hits (including "D-I-V-O-R-C-E, and "Bedtime Story") and even wound up appearing on KLF singles and collaborating with Sting. The First Lady of country, for sure.
