Sometimes fear can be just as strong a motivator as love. That was the case for Showtime’s George & Tammy music producer and engineer Rachael Moore. Under the influence and recommendation…
play the titular George Jones and Tammy Wynette in the series, which looks at the couple’s complicated and emotionally charged relationship. The series, created by Abe Sylvia, is based on an autobiographical novel by the couple’s daughter Georgette Jones.
The impact of Wynette’s song “Stand by Your Man,” which led her to be known as the “First Lady of Country Music,” and that of Jones’ “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” lauded as one of the greatest country songs of all time, is arguably immeasurable in the music community. Moore explained the pressures of working on a series entrenched with such a legacy.
“I certainly felt pressure,” she said. “Everyone involved did, but that was one thing that I really loved; that everyone wanted to get it right. We got the details and did a lot of research. This project was in the making for about 10 years.” Behind the scenes, Moore was tasked with getting Shannon and Chastain ready to perform a roster of George and Tammy’s iconic hits on and off set. “They knew the shoes they had to fill and took it very seriously. They trained for a year with a great vocal coach, Ron Browning, and they became [vocal] artists and began singing every single day. They came to Nashville for about two weeks, and we recorded in the studio.
Moore also added about the pair’s dedication to the craft: “Obviously, it’s an impossible task to sound like George Jones and Tammy Wynette. The goal was to just make these two people relatable, and it was important that they sing and that they sing live. As a result, the audience was really able to connect to them in these scenes. We really appreciated that.
