1969 found her appearing on the Wilburn Brothers show to sing her signature song, “Stand By Your Man.” She had almost a perfect country voice and gives a powerful performance of this all time country classic.
Four tracks, spanning the years 1974-1980, are duets with George Jones. “We Loved It Anyway,” “Golden Ring,” “Near You” and “We’re Gonna Hold On” all show the chemistry that existed between them. Jones’ smooth country twang serves as a good counterpoint to Wynette’s vocal purity. Despite their problems over the years the voices meld together well and they seem very at ease together.
The bonus extras include her posthumous induction into The Country Music Hall Of Fame, wedding footage, and an archival interview section.
This DVD is for country purists as Tammy Wynette was far removed from the Nashville sound of today. What we find on Legendary Performances: Tammy Wynette is a wonderful historical overview of a country legend who does not receive enough recognition for her contributions to an American art form.
