Why Tammy Wynette matters:
"Tammy Wynette is literally referred to as "the first lady of country music," which speaks both to her importance in the genre as well as the way she has been partially defined by her marriage to singer George Jones. She had 20 number-one hits, the best-known being "Stand By Your...

| Zusammenfassung: | "Tammy Wynette is literally referred to as "the first lady of country music," which speaks both to her importance in the genre as well as the way she has been partially defined by her marriage to singer George Jones. She had 20 number-one hits, the best-known being "Stand By Your Man." Steacy Easton believes Wynette was a complicated figure whose work plays with themes of domesticity, high femme armor, soft politics, pain, melodrama, sex, fame, tradition, and camp. Each of those themes gets a chapter in this book. In some cases--soft politics--the theme is explored primarily through a song ("Stand By Your Man," which she performed in support of segregationist George Wallace). In others--high femme armor--they work off her biography (the fact that Wynette was especially close to her team of stylists and never gave up her cosmetician's license). Often, Easton is working with both; this book argues not only that Wynette was one of the greatest voices in the history of country music but that she "made her life into her work, and this transformation itself was art." In a sense, Easton argues, she mythologized her own life, interpreting it as she would a song. A conclusion meditates on how the author is, in many ways, an outsider to Wynette's work and yet it still stirs them and provokes unanswerable questions that only make her more worthy of the serious consideration she has rarely received. They write, "As a trans person, I don't want to give Wynette over to the transphobes and the homophobes, because I think that mutually trying to understand cultural signs allow for a larger and more complex political reading.""-- |

She had 20 number-one hits, the best-known being "Stand By Your Man." Steacy Easton believes Wynette was a complicated figure whose work plays with themes of domesticity, high femme armor, soft politics, pain, melodrama, sex, fame, tradition, and camp. Each of those themes gets a chapter in this book. In some cases--soft politics--the theme is explored primarily through a song ("Stand By Your Man," which she performed in support of segregationist George Wallace). In others--high femme armor--they work off her biography (the fact that Wynette was especially close to her team of stylists and never gave up her cosmetician's license). Often, Easton is working with both; this book argues not only that Wynette was one of the greatest voices in the history of country music but that she "made her life into her work, and this transformation itself was art." In a sense, Easton argues, she mythologized her own life, interpreting it as she would a song. A conclusion meditates on how the author is, in many ways, an outsider to Wynette's work and yet it still stirs them and provokes unanswerable questions that only make her more worthy of the serious consideration she has rarely received. They write, "As a trans person, I don't want to give Wynette over to the transphobes and the homophobes, because I think that mutually trying to understand cultural signs allow for a larger and more complex political reading.""-- Wynette, Tammy 1942-1998 (DE-588)122303970 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1942-1998 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Feminismus (DE-588)4222126-2 gnd rswk-swf Countrymusic (DE-588)4138030-7 gnd rswk-swf Sängerin (DE-588)4051246-0 gnd rswk-swf Country-Musikerin (DE-588)4337120-6 gnd rswk-swf Weiblichkeit (DE-588)4079101-4 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Wynette, Tammy Wynette, Tammy / Criticism and interpretation Country music / History and criticism Women country musicians / United States / Biography Women singers / United States / Biography Country musicians / United States / Biography Singers / United States / Biography MUSIC / History & Criticism Country music Country musicians Singers Women country musicians Women singers United States Biographies Criticism, interpretation, etc (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Wynette, Tammy 1942-1998 (DE-588)122303970 p Countrymusic (DE-588)4138030-7 s Feminismus (DE-588)4222126-2 s Weiblichkeit (DE-588)4079101-4 s Geschichte z DE-188 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Sängerin (DE-588)4051246-0 s Country-Musikerin (DE-588)4337120-6 s Geschichte 1942-1998 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-4773-2750-0 (DE-604)BV048989097 Music matters 010 (DE-604)BV049409801 10 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034314126&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
