Tammy Wynette: My Man (Epic KE-31717)
Nick Tosches, Country Music, March 1973
THERE HAS always been something about Tammy Wynette that has set her slightly apart from the rest of country music's singing queens. Her songs deal with the usual themes — love, heartaches, happiness, loneliness — but there's an element inherent in her treatment and delivery that hits a chord of poignancy which can only be described as exquisite.
