AMG Review of Live

All Music Guide

This is a 1970s period live outing from Goldies -- and who knows if it comes from a single gig -- by Tammy Wynette. That said, the singer is an absolutely top form here, and performs some of her biggest hits as well as country standards. Of course, "Stand by Your Man" is here, as are "My Man Understands," "Rocky Top," "Another Chance," "'Til I Can Make It on My Own," and "Take Me to Your World." There are also a couple of medleys, one of then-current hits in "What a Difference You've Made in My Life" and "You Light Up My Life," and one of spirituals "Amazing Grace," "I'll Fly Away," "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," and "I Saw the Light." In other words, whether it is from a single show or a few of them pasted together by virtue of technology, this is top-notch Wynette, and fans would be well served to pick this one up. The sound quality is terrific and the price is certainly right.
