This 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.

This, 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.

The 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.

Most 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.

In Britain, this album was paired with Divorce, her third album, on a single CD.

What else do you need to know?, it is Tammy Wynette. There is a new "Queen of Country Music" every few years but she was absolutely one of the tops. It is our blessing that her music will live on. "Hey bartender, give me another beer!, And a towel for my tears!"
