Higher Ground (1987)

"During her heyday of the late '60s and '70s, Tammy Wynette was called "The First Lady of Country Music," an honorarium that spoke to both her elegance and popularity. Wynette dominated the country charts starting in 1967, when "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad" rocketed into the country Top Ten, quickly followed by the number one David Houston duet "My Elusive Dreams," and ending in the '70s, when the Top Tens slowly faded away. Even though she didn't have as many hits as she'd had in the past, Wynette remained a respected star and a popular concert attraction. In the '80s (toen ook dit door critici en luisteraars goed gewaardeerd album verscheen), she began suffering a variety of health problems, including inflammation of her bile duct. She was hospitalized several times during the mid-'90s before her death on April 6, 1998." (Allmusic)
