How Tammy Wynette channeled the conflicts of her life into her music and performance.With hits such as Stand By Your Man and Golden Ring, Tammy Wynette was an icon of American domesticity and femininity. But there were other sides to the first lady of country. Steacy Easton places the complications of Wynettes music and her biography in sharpedged relief, exploring how she made her sometimestumultuous life into her work, a transformation that was itself art.Wynette created a persona of high femininity to match the themes she sang aboutfawning devotion, redemption in heterosexual romance, the heartbreak of loneliness. Behind the scenes, her life was marked by persistent class anxieties; despite wealth and fame, she kept her beauticians license. Easton argues that the struggle to meet expectations of southernness, womanhood, and southern womanhood, finds subtle expression in Wynettes performance of Apartment #9and its because of these vocal subtleties that it came to be called the saddest song ever written. Wynette similarly took on elements of camp and political critique in her artistry, demonstrating an underappreciated genius. Why Tammy Wynette Matters reveals a musician who doubled back on herself, her faade of earnestness cracked by a melodrama that weaponized femininity and upended feminist expectations, while scoring twenty numberone hits.
