We all know the anthem Stand By Your Man that Tammy took to the top of the charts but few know the staggering story of the woman behind the song. Virginia Wynette Pugh was born into a poor family in Mississippi but was blessed with an astonishing singing voice. She always believed in her talent so when her first marriage was breaking down she bundled her three children into her car & roared off to make her name in the capital of Country music Nashville. An overnight success Wynette took the persona of the tortured housewife & turned it into hit records. Yet Tammy never found the idealized love she desperately yearned for & her soap opera life included five husbands (one marriage lasting only forty-four days); four kids; thirty-plus operations; a monstrous addiction to painkillers; & even a bizarre unsolved kidnapping attempt that some insiders suggest Tammy might have staged herself. Her tragic death at age 55 shocked her fans but not those who knew of her health & addiction problems. Then the final indignity: her family had Wynettes body exhumed a year after her passing to ascertain the cause of her demise yet the death has never been fully explained. Jimmy Mc Donough has been a true fan of Tammy all his life & has spent years researching the singers story. TRAGIC COUNTRY QUEEN is the definitive biography of this complex & often contradictory artist. The author interviewed musicians producers fellow Country music superstars ex-husbands & family members (many who speak publicly for the first time). He reveals Tammys mysterious & often desperate pre-Nashville days & her chaotic private life which included vast wealth affairs fires overdoses controlling husbands pills gunshots & fine music. The more I unearthed the more haunting her music became writes Mc Donough. Funny heartbreaking & remarkably researched Tragic Country Queen is the book on the queen of country music. ...
