Tanya Tucker

Country icon Tanya Tucker engraved her name in country music history when she was just thirteen with the single "Delta Dawn" in 1972. In the succeeding decade, Tucker became one of the few child performers to transition into adulthood and maintain her fan base. During the course of her career, she's notched a remarkable streak of hits including the chart-topping "What's Your Mama's Name,""Blood Red and Goin' Down," and "Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)." Along with Jessi Colter, Tucker was one of very few women adopted by the outlaw country movement during the '70s and '80s. As a recording artist she's placed nine titles on the Top Country Albums charts, nine singles in the Hot 100, and more than a dozen at Top Country Songs. Ubiquitous during her first two decades, Tucker achieved high-profile professional successes that were balanced by some lows and personal scandals, but she never stayed down for long. Between 1988 and 1997, she charted a comeback that netted three gold albums. In the 21st century, she started her own label, was inducted into the Texas Music Hall of Fame, and continued to tour. After an extended break from recording new material, in 2019 she released the full-length While I'm Livin' on Fantasy Records, co-produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings.
