This is the album that made Tammy Wynette more than a country star--it made her an icon. Not only was her singing wonderful (one of the best examples of true soulfulness without ever emulating black singers), but the controversy started by the title song would follow her all her life. Feminists seemed to take this song as advocating devotion to one's mate as a "my man, right or wrong" statement, to stick with a bum no matter what. (Never mind that the same year, Janis Joplin would have a huge hit with the downright masochistic "Piece of My Heart," which inspired no similar reaction.) Throughout this classic, digitally remastered edition, Wynette sings the stories of hearts--and families--shattered by divorce and the difficulties of raising children as a single mother. She gave voice to the real lives of women everywhere, and did it passionately. With producer Billy Sherrill at the helm, the music is a somewhat softened version of the honky-tonk sound, smoother, more pop-oriented. The lyrics can be, by today's standards, a bit corny at times, but it's her voice--supple, strong, and dignified--that will stick with you.
