Tammy Wynette: A Resurgence in Appreciation

Tammy Wynette, the unsung godmother of "sad girl" music and a poignant chronicler of feminized pain, has long been misunderstood. Despite her tumultuous life and storied career, her legacy has become complicated, often conflated with a literal interpretation of her signature song, "Stand by Your Man." However, recent efforts, such as the TV series "George & Tammy" and the book "Why Tammy Wynette Matters," aim to reevaluate her contributions and shed light on her underappreciated talent. Wynette's emotionally weighty yet nimble voice, coupled with her ability to navigate the private and public spheres, make her a significant figure in music history. Lana Del Rey's recent cover of "Stand by Your Man" further highlights Wynette's relevance to a modern audience, particularly those who appreciate the expression of feminine pain.
