Lana Del Rey performed Tammy Wynette’s country song at a concert in Arkansas.
On Tuesday night, Lana Del Rey surprised her fans in Rogers, Arkansas by performing Tammy Wynette’s 1968 number one country hit, ” Stand by Your Man “. The stage was dark as the opening chords sounded and Del Rey intoned the opening lines, ” Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman to the delight of the crowd.
This performance is between Ride ” of Paradise et « Blue Jeans ” of Born to Die on the list of songs played. She did not introduce the song or comment on her intentions in covering ” Stand by Your Man “, a song that many consider an affront to the feminist movement of the late 1960s, as it asks women to forgive their partner’s indiscretions because “ following all, he’s just a man “. But Del Rey sang it with enthusiasm all the same. (“ Stand by Your Man » appears in 473rd position on the list of the 500 greatest songs of all time established by Rolling Stone).
This cover of Wynette is not an unprecedented event in the current tour of Del Rey, which promotes his recent album Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd, but it is unusual. The only other time, so far, where she has strayed from her established plan was during her performance at the Newport Folk Festival, when she performed a duet with Jack Antonoff the song ” For Free by Joni Mitchell, who also closed her album Chemtrails Over the Country Club.
