These two classic lp's are on cd for the very first time ! The first "The Ways To Love A Man" is the follow up to the huge "Greatest Hits" collection. Released in 1969 it contains two monster hits, "Sining My Song" and "The Ways To Love A Man" both #1 on country billboard. Stand out lp cuts from this album are the cover of "Twelfth Of Never" with Tammy in perfect voice and the sweet "Enough Of A Woman". The Next release which is also included here is the 1970 lp, "Tammy's Touch". It contains two more hit singles, "I'll See Him Through" and the # 1 "He Loves Me All The Way" (one of my personal favorites). A standout lp cut here is "It's Just A Matter Of Time". As if this wasn't enough, this release also contains bonus tracks, including the classic "Too Far Gone" and "Run, Angel, Run". The latter from a movie soundtrack and both pulled from her first Greatest Hits collection. "Run, Woman, Run" is another bonus track which was another #1 from her next lp, The First Lady. Hopefully with good sales, we will continue to see more lp's from the 70's (and dare I dream..the 80's ?) relased on cd in the future. This is a must have for even the casual Tammy fan (if they exist). Buy it...you'll love it !

With so many Tammy's biggest hits albums out there, this was so refreshing. The songs are early Tammy and with her trademark emotion and an ample amount of steel guitar in the backround. I highly recommend this cd, which is two albums together.

If this is a primer of what is to come from little Raven Records in Australia, then Bravo...these are definitely two of Tammy's best lp efforts from the 70's. Here's to hoping that other lps (like the complete early George Jones duet albums) will be forthcoming as well, along with the 9 or 10 lps (into the 80's) that followed these. CLASSIC country like you've (Twelve of...) NEVER heard before!

The Nashville sound of the 60s is captured on this two for one deal. Tammy is great, and sings with the heartbroken passion of a gal who longs for her man. It is easy to see how she influenced a generation of female country singers. Top notch Nashville session players make the music on this one smooth, yet air tight.

Two great country albums on a single cd! Tammy was and remains one of the most emotive singers there has ever been within her genre. I usually prefer male singers, but Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Joni Mitchell are exceptions. If you're new to Tammy Wynette, I would suggest that you start here instead of some frustrating compilation that doesn't include enough from the early years.

Love that they are finally releasing more of Tammy on cd. These two albums have always been favorites for me. Her voice is in great form here, and very rare songs like Still Around finally sound even better on cd. If you love Tammy, get this cd before it goes out of print!
