Tammy Faye Starlite and the Angels of Mercy

Tammy Faye Starlite was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Since then, she has traversed the country with her band, the Angels Of Mercy, and through song and fervid evangelical rhetoric has shared her faith in Him with all who care to genuflect.

“Bleached-blond,stiletto-heeled,and pregnant with her third child in at least a month, Tammy Faye Starlite represents the Blue Angel Cabaret at its very best…The way she brilliantly mines country music subtexts…it’s hard to tell if Tammy’s straight outta Nashville or a whiteness studies graduate seminar.” — Jeff Howe, The Village Voice
