Tammy Wynette - Womanhood

Review by Tanada Eiki

Album Review: Tammy Wynette’s Womanhood (1978) Tammy Wynette’s Womanhood isn’t just another country album—it’s a heartfelt journey through love, faith, and resilience. Released in 1978 on Epic Records, this record feels like sitting down with an old friend who knows exactly how to put your feelings into words. Produced by the legendary Billy Sherrill and arranged by Bill Justis, it carries that smooth Countrypolitan vibe mixed with raw emotion only Wynette could deliver. Strings swell gently behind her voice while The Nashville Edition adds warmth to every track—this is music that hugs you even when life doesn’t. Two tracks stuck out for me, and honestly, they’ve been replaying in my head ever since I first heard them. First up is “That’s What Friends Are For.” It’s one of those songs where you think, yeah, this is real friendship—not the Instagram kind but the messy, loyal, stick-by-you stuff. Tammy sings it like she’s lived it, and maybe she has. Her voice cracks just enough to remind you she’s human too. There’s something comforting about hearing someone say, "Hey, we all need someone," without making it sound corny or forced. You feel seen. Then there’s “I’d Like To See Jesus (On The Midnight Special).” Whoa. This one hit me hard. It’s not preachy; instead, it’s intimate, almost like a prayer whispered late at night when no one else is around. The strings here are hauntingly beautiful, wrapping around her vocals like a soft blanket. When she talks about wanting to see Jesus on TV—a place usually reserved for glitz and noise—it feels profound. Like she’s saying, wouldn’t it be wild if holiness broke into our everyday lives? By the end, I was left staring at the ceiling, thinking way too much about faith and fame and what really matters. What makes Womanhood special isn’t just its genre-blending sound—it’s the way it captures universal truths without trying too hard. Songs like these don’t come from nowhere; they come from living, from surviving heartbreaks and finding joy in small moments. And sure, some might call it sappy, but let’s be honest—who doesn’t need a little sappiness now and then? Funny thing though—the more I listened, the more I realized how ahead of its time this album feels. In 1978, people were probably focused on disco balls and punk rock rebellion, yet here’s Tammy quietly dropping wisdom about relationships, memory, and spirituality. Maybe that’s why it didn’t blow up the charts back then. But today? It feels like exactly what we need. So go ahead, give Womanhood a spin. Let Tammy take you somewhere quiet and real. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself tearing up over a country song about friendship or Jesus showing up on late-night TV. Life’s weird like that sometimes.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s an interesting fact: Tammy Wynette's 1978 album *Womanhood* was a true team effort, with legendary producer Billy Sherrill at the helm. The album blended country and pop seamlessly, thanks in part to Bill Justis, who both arranged and added lush string sections. Fun detail—The Nashville Edition provided backing vocals, giving the tracks that rich, emotional depth Tammy was known for. And get this: the same song, "Love Doesn’t Always Come (On the Night It’s Needed)," is listed multiple times with slightly different titles or parts. Sounds like a quirky little mix-up in the tracklisting!

So... she did wrong then? I was hoping the Christian would win out over the Woman in the end.

I discovered this song in 2016. I know I’m LATE.. but.... it was so appropriate for me! I was newly single. Learning how to “date” again.. and trying to figure out HOW to navigate and handle seeing different men etc. ? played it ALL the time back then! Felt I WAS Patricia lol
