Tammy Wynette - Another Lonely Song / Woman To Woman

RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2017

• Tammy Wynette, known as the “First Lady of Country Music”, was one of the music’s truly iconic figures.

• This much beloved entertainer - during a twenty-seven year recording career - saw the release of 42 studio albums and charted 73 singles.

• By the time the two albums in this collection were released, producer Billy Sherrill had developed a distinctive styling for the hit-making singer, with her “sob in the voice” heightening the emotions of songs’ lyrics, perfectly blending in with the smooth musicianship and string arrangements and backup vocals by The Jordanaires.

• Both albums were released in 1974 and each was headed up by a hit single. ‘Another Lonely Song’ gave the singer her 14^th 1 solo chart single. The album also included covers of three already proven country hits ‘Satin Sheets’, ‘Keep Me In Mind’ and ‘Help Me Make It Through The Night’.

• Seven months later came “Woman To Woman” with its Billy Sherrill penned title track reaching No. 4 in Billboard’s Country Singles Chart and offering another touch of home-spun feminine advice. Once again, the album presents songs from many of the most respected writers in the business – Dave Loggins’ ‘Please Come To Boston’, Mickey Newbury’s ‘I Don’t Think About Him No More’ and Shel Silverstein’s ‘For The Kids’, the last revealing that this one-time Playboy cartoonist was more than just a humourist.
