The album 'Higher Ground' was released in 1987 by Epic Records, continuing Tammy Wynette's collaboration with producer Steve Buckingham. This work reflects artistic maturity and an exploration of spiritual and personal themes, with a sound blending country with gospel and pop influences.
The album includes the song 'Higher Ground', which became a minor country chart single. Although it did not achieve the massive success of her earlier records, it was well received by critics for its lyrical honesty and Wynette's vocal quality, as she was already facing health issues.
'Higher Ground' represents an important chapter in Wynette's late discography, showing her resilience as an artist. The album did not generate major hits, but it is valued by fans as a cohesive and emotional work, reflecting her faith and personal struggle.
