D-I-V-O-R-C-E

by Tammy Wynette

The 2277th greatest album of all time

D-I-V-O-R-C-E (1968) is an album built around the title track, a stark country breakup ballad delivered in Tammy Wynette's emotive, slightly fragile vocal style. The record mixes traditional country elements with late 1960s countrypolitan production, including string arrangements and background vocals, and emphasizes themes of marriage, heartbreak, and domestic struggle that recur across Wynette's work. It is representative of her sound from that period and of a broader move in country music toward smoother, pop-influenced arrangements.
