Jimmy McDonough Tammy Wynette

The definitive biography

Tammy, born Wynette Pugh in Mississippi, bundled her three children into her car and, abandoning a troubled marriage, roared off to make her name in the capital of country music, Nashville. An overnight success, Wynette took the persona of the tortured housewife and turned it into hit records, as well as high art.

Her life grew increasingly out of control until her tragic death at the age of fifty-five. Then came the final indignity: biography Wynette’s body was exhumed a year after her passing.
