Album Notes & Community Reviews

This monumentally successful compilation documents the vocalist's rapid ascent to becoming the absolute reigning queen of late-1960s country music. Backed by producer Billy Sherrill's lush, sweeping Nashville sound orchestrations, her remarkably powerful, profoundly tear-stained vocal delivery elevates themes of domestic strife and heartbreak to almost operatic levels of drama. The album features the culturally defining, highly controversial crossover anthem 'Stand By Your Man.'
