“The First Lady of Country Music” is what they called her, and this compendium of her career is here to prove they were right. And although there are many female country singers I enjoy a bit more, it’s hard to argue with her ability to wrangle some of the best country anthems of all time – “D-I-V-O-R-C-E”, “Stand by Your Man”, “I Don’t Wanna Play House”, all classics. This is a great starter disc for anyone wanting to be introduced to Wynette’s music, or as a great mix for the already informed. Yet another quality disc from Sony’s “The Essential Collection”.
