This 1980 LP on the PTL Records label features Tammy at her histrionic best. You may experience mascara gushing out of your headphones and/or your head may explode by the end of the second selection. Note, too, that this vanity project was an expensive one, with a full orchestra and Gary Sanford Paxton of Monster Mash fame producing, making it just the kind of money-losing project that got Jim 'n' Tammy in trouble. And as will be the norm for Monday audioblogging, I do not believe this stuff has ever been re-released on CD*. Enjoy!
Run Toward the Roar (2:55, 3.4mb mp3)
Oh How I Love Jesus/Thou Art Worthy (5:09, 6.1mb mp3)
*It is, however, available on cassette... direct from Tammy!

Holy crap! Can an excerpt from "Mrs. Miller's Greatest Hits" be far off?
I do love Mrs. Miller, but her stuff is pretty easy to find. Also, I'm ashamed to admit that I don't own copies of her great records on vinyl.
i demand a teeshirt made of these images.
I love me some Tammy Faye! When I was in the house band on the Roseanne show, Tammy Faye was a guest star, and I spent several hours chatting with her. Her charm is that she can laugh at herself - a very attractive quality.
Whoah, color me jealous, Alicia! I agree that she's really a sympathetic character. Anybody who really watches "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" comes away thinking that she's basically a moron, but a good-hearted one.
Actually, I just bought a copy of Mrs. Miller's Greatest Hits for a friend who needs a little pick-me-up. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll try a little Tammy Faye.
Alicia has crushed me with envy.
The back collage picture of Tammy amid the Aslan motif reminds me of Amy Sedaris' Jerri Blank from "Strangers With Candy."
I haven't dared listen yet.
God bless you for sharing these treasures!! lol
