Review by JJ_Amblin Jan 08, 2004

Bill Drummond talked about recording this single in a BBC documentary about Tammy Wynette broadcast shortly after her death. Bill had always wanted to work with her because "Stand By Your Man" was one of his favourite records of all time. But when The KLF played the "Justified And Ancient" backing track for her to sing along to, she couldn't do it. It turned out that her usual way of working was that she would lead, and her backing musicians would follow her, rather than the other way round - so she had never had to stick to a strict tempo. In the end they just had Tammy sing it a cappella, and then did a lot of timestretching on the vocals to make them fit the track.
