Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Billy Sherrill, this record cemented Wynette's status as the definitive voice of domestic heartbreak in country music. 'D-I-V-O-R-C-E' surrounds her teardrop vocal delivery with lush, swelling string arrangements characteristic of the sophisticated Countrypolitan style. The monumental title track provided a stark, culturally resonant look at marital dissolution that dominated country radio.
