SynopsisIn the first full-scale biography of the enduring first lady of country music, bestselling biographer McDonough tells the story of the small-town girl whose meteoric rise led to a decades-long career full of tragedy and triumph., The first full-scale biography of the enduring first lady of country music The twentieth century had three great female singers who plumbed the darkest corners of their hearts and transformed private grief into public dramas. In opera, there was the unsurpassed Maria Callas. In jazz, the tormented Billie Holiday. And in country music, there was Tammy Wynette. "Stand by Your Man," "D-I-V-O-R-C-E," "Take Me to Your World" are but a few highlights of Tammy's staggering musical legacy, all sung with a voice that became the touchtone for women's vulnerability, disillusionment, strength, and endurance. In Tammy Wynette , bestselling biographer Jimmy McDonough tells the story of the small-town girl who grew up to be the woman behind the microphone, whose meteoric rise led to a decades-long career full of tragedy and triumph. Through a high-profile marriage and divorce, her dreadful battle with addiction and illness, and the struggle to compete in a rapidly evolving Nashville, Tammy turned a brave smile toward the world and churned out masterful hit songs though her life resembled the most heartbreaking among them. Tammy Wynette is an intimate portrait of a music icon, the Queen of Heartbreak, whose powerful voice simultaneously evoked universal pain and longing even as it belied her own.

Not a very flattering look at an iconic singer.
I had become very interested in Tammy Wynette after purchasing her boxed set Tears of Fire a few years ago. My girlfriend and I even stopped into her ''Legacy Center'' in Tremont Miss recently. After reading this book,..which I believe is mostly accurate'' a very unflattering portrait of Tammy takes shape. Even though her music was wonderful,....and it has stood the test of time,...she just doesn't come across as a kind-hearted person. Certainly,...there are individual stories of her kindness,...and the grit and determination that made her a star are not ignored,but,....she was married 5 times,...had multiple affairs,..was not a very good mother,...had drug addictions,was extremely vindictive,.and had a tendancy to embellish and lie.etc,etc. Like Elvis,...as time has gone on a very complex story emerges,...best to just enjoy the music.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
