Tammy Wynette Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad (1967)
Originally Released April 1967\nCD Edition Released February 7, 1995\nSony Special Product CD Edition Released June 24, 2003\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Tammy Wynette's 1967 debut album is still one of her best. Having secured the services of countrypolitan producer Billy Sherrill and an Epic contract in 1966, she cut her first single, "Apartment No. 9," and first big hit, "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad," both of which are included here. And while some of the other material here doesn't quite match the quality of those gems, the album still contains enough solid sides, like "Walk Through This World With Me" and "Send Me No Roses," to ensure its essential status. Add to that stellar covers of the David Houston hit "Almost Persuaded" and Loretta Lynn's "Don't Come Home a Drinking (With Loving on Your Mind)," and you have one of the classic debuts in country music. -- Stephen Cook \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThe legend started here, May 25, 2003 \nReviewer: P D Harris "Pete the music and horse racing fan" (Leicester England)\nThis, Tammy's debut album, includes her first hit, Apartment number nine. It was only a minor country hit but it was followed by Your good girl's gonna go bad, which was a major country hit. It didn't quite get to the top, but Tammy did not have to wait long for her first number one, although it wasn't on this album.\n\nThe album contains many covers of contemporary country songs, including Don't come home a-drinking (Loretta Lynn), Don't touch me (Jeannie Seely), There goes my everything (Jack Greene - Elvis and Engelbert both had pop hits with it), Walk through this world with me (George Jones) and Almost persuaded (David Houston). It also includes I wound easy, which is the only song ever written by Dolly that Tammy ever covered. At the time, Dolly was even less well known than Tammy.\n\nMost of the above songs are well known and brilliantly performed, but the four obscure songs (All night long, Come on home, When there's fire in your heart and Kiss away) are all well worth hearing.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nWho Needs George?, December 14, 2002 \nReviewer: Mcgivern Owen L (NY, NY USA) \nTammy's "No Show" husband is nowhere to be found on this CD. His absence will never be noticed. "Good Girl" contains 2 of Tammy's early popular releases-the title track, which rose to # 3 in the Spring of 1967 and "Apartment #9", which may be the best known country recording to NOT make the charts. There are interesting solo (!) versions of "Walk Through This World With Me" and "Almost Persuaded". Tammy didn't need David Houston either. This reviewer's favorite tracks were 2 that never made the charts at all: ""I'm Not Mine to Give" and "I Wound Easy (but I Heal Fast)". That had to be true for Tammy in her complex personal life. Billy Sherrill has packed a lot of entertainment onto one 10 track CD. "Good Girl" is an absolutely risk free purchase for anyone even remotely familiar with Her immense talents and a solid showcase of Early Tammy. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nThe First Songs of the First Lady, July 21, 1998 \nReviewer: A music fan (Fort Wayne)\nThis was the album that introduced Tammy Wynette to the music world. It was a musical form of experimentation for Wynette and her producer, Billy Sherrill, trying to find the right songs for her one of a kind voice ("the voice with the teadrop with in"). The collection contains her first single, a minor hit, "Apt. #9", and her second single, a major hit, the title track from the album. Wynette & Sherrill win sometimes with the likes of 'Send Me No Roses', 'The Phone Call' and a cover of Jeanne Seeley's 'Don't Touch Me' but fall a little short with 'I'm Not Mine To Give', 'I Would Easy' and a cover of Loretta Lynn's 'Dont Come Home A-Drinkin'. 'Almost Persuaded', a #1 hit for David Houston and a song Sherrill had all his acts record at one time or the other, is included. It is interesting to note that Tammy sings a cover of 'Walk Though This World With Me' ... the then-current song by her musical mentor and future partner, George Jones. \n\nHalf.com Album Credits\nBilly Sherrill, Producer\n\nAlbum Notes\nProducer: Billy Sherrill.\nReissue producer: Bob Irwin.\nIncludes original release liner notes.\nDigitally remastered by Vic Anesini (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).\n\nOn the surface, Tammy Wynette's 1967 debut album is a fairly typical country record of the time--its 10 songs are over in barely 25-and-a-half minutes, and fully half of the album consists of covers of that era's recent country hits. What makes YOUR GOOD GIRL'S GONNA GO BAD different is that Wynette's no-bull attitude (showcased on the hit singles "Apartment #9" and the title track, both included here) is already in full bloom, and her startlingly pure, heartbroken voice emerges fully mature. The covers are a wisely chosen lot, from Loretta Lynn's "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" to Dolly Parton's early single "I Wound Easy (But I Heal Fast)." Billy Sherrill's production is considerably less overblown than it could sometimes be, keeping Wynette's voice and acoustic guitar at the center of all the songs, even when sweetened with strings and choral backing vocals.
This country cd contains 10 tracks and runs 26min 3sec.
