You And Me / Let's Get Together

Description

• Tammy Wynette, known as the “First Lady of Country Music”, was one of the music’s truly iconic figures. This much beloved entertainer who, during a twenty-seven year recording career saw the release of 42 studio albums and charted 73 singles. • “You And Me”, with its title track scoring a two week run at the top of the Billboard Country charts in October 1976, headed up an album featuring a diverse range of material. Willie Nelson’s ‘Little Things’ is a catch-up ‘phone conversation between a separated couple, ‘Jesus Send A Song’ equates religion with the Nashville music scene surroundings, and southern emotions live on with ‘Dixieland (You Will Never Die)’. • There is also a cover of Donna Fargo’s hit ‘Funny Face’ and, perhaps a little away from Tammy’s norm (at least, at that time), the ‘Hawaiian Wedding Song’. The album secured a Top 4 placing. • “Let’s Get Together” from 1977 was well-acclaimed, not least of all because several songs came close to her recordings of a few years earlier, her inimitable “sob-in-the-voice” letting the listener know about holding your man, losing your man and what to do afterwards. • Both albums appear on CD for the first time.
