She’s been called one of the finest song stylists in any genre, a singer who owns the patent on any song she sings. Tanya Tucker’s inimitable vocal styling and soulful performances have resulted in a string of hit albums and singles, garnered hundreds of honors and awards and made her a country music legend. In 1972 renowned music critic Nat Hentoff wrote in Cosmopolitan magazine: “Tanya’s voice is vibrato-full and tangy, with the kind of restless intensity that stays in your mind long after the song is done. This teenager has become one of the most dramatic presence’s in all of music, not just country.” She also became a role model for female artists, a singer many industry insiders see as a future Hall of Famer: “When you listen to Tanya Tucker you hear spirit and independence. That’s what she’s given to country music,” said music critic John Lomax III. The Texas Tornado was born on October 10, 1958 in Seminole, Texas, located on the Panhandle Plains that locals call the land of “…tumbleweeds, pump-jacks, windmills and four open horizons.” It was the perfect place for a tornado to show up. Tanya was a precocious child. She cut her first tooth at five months, was driving the family Volkswagen around the yard by age four, and riding horses before she turned five. “One day I just started singing,” she says. And by the time she was eight she was singing everything she heard on country radio: Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, Jim Reeves and Hawkshaw Hawkins. Tanya’s father, Beau Tucker, worked any job he could find to keep the family going. He was at various times a pilot, a prospector, and a heavy equipment operator. The Tuckers were living in Wilcox, Arizona when Tanya started singing at talent contests and appearing on the stage with visiting celebrities like Mel Tillis and Ernest Tubb. Then, while Beau was working on a pipeline in St. George, Utah, Tanya landed a part in Robert Redford’s film, Jeremiah Johnson. It didn’t turn out to be a show business break, but it helped convince Beau Tucker that stardom was possible, even if you had no industry contacts. The family later moved to Las Vegas to be closer to an entertainment center. It was there that patrons of the local Vets club started calling Tanya “Little Miss Cheatin’ Heart” because of her years-ahead-of-her-time vocal delivery. The Tuckers traveled to Nashville only to be met by closed doors and “come back when she’s older” comments. But it was only a matter of time. Tanya was thirteen when a Las Vegas songwriter introduced her to legendary record producer Billy Sherrill. He soon signed her to Columbia Records and recorded the first big hit song: “Delta Dawn.” Tanya followed that with “Love’s the Answer” and “Jamestown Ferry,” then came out of the chute with another megahit: “What’s Your Mama’s Name?” She was fifteen years old, with a Country Music Association and Grammy nomination, a Greatest Hits package in the works, and her face on the cover of the Rolling Stone. That public image and those hits caused MCA Records to offer Tanya what was then the most lucrative recording contract ever awarded in country music, 1.5 million dollars. The hits kept on coming: “Lizzie and the Rainman,” “San Antonio Stroll,” “Don’t Believe My Heart Can Stand Another You,” “Texas When I Die,” and “Pecos Promenade,” to name but a few during her MCA years. In 1986 she signed with Capitol Records, and recorded over a decade of hits including “Strong Enough to Bend,” “Down To My Last Teardrop,” “Two Sparrows in a Hurricane,” “It’s a Little Too Late,” and “Tell me About It” with Delbert McClinton. In 1991 she was named the Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year” and the following year she was Country Music Television’s Female Video Artist of the Year. That same year, “Two Sparrows in a Hurricane” was named the Academy of Country Music’s Video of the Year. In 1996 she was one of the Top Ten overall most played artists of the year, and Capitol Records biggest selling signed female country artist. She was sought after for compilation recordings. In 1993 she recorded “Already Gone” for Common Threads: The Songs of the Eagles, and the following year she sang a critically acclaimed duet with Little Richard, “Somethin’ Else” on Rhythm, Country & Blues. In 1995 she sang “Something” for Come Together: America Salutes the Beatles, and in 1996, “Goin’ Nowhere and Gettin’ There Fast” for NASCAR: Hotter Than Asphalt. Walt Disney Records released her recording of “Someday My Prince Will Come” on The Best of Country Sing The Best of Disney in 1997. The year 1994 was a big one for Tanya. She sang at the halftime of Super Bowl XXVIII, which had over a billion viewers, and at the opening ceremonies for the World Cup, broadcast, to over two billion viewers. A horse lover and champion rider, Tanya was also winning cutting contests. She took home top honors in the 1994 KSCS Fair Celebrity Cutting Championship, and won the 1990 and 1996 Celebrity Championship. The year 1997 saw the release of Complicated, called one of her best by many critics. The Orange County Register noted: “It’s hard to believe that Tanya Tucker is releasing her 30th album after 25 years in the business and has yet to hit 40 years of age. Her music drips with gutsy realism, all delivered with a voice that combines equal parts sass and bravado with aching tenderness.” Newsweek called Complicated “…one of the most stunning of her career.” On March 26, 1997, one day after the release of Complicated, Hyperion released Tanya’s New York Times Best Selling autobiography, Nickel Dreams. The Miami Herald called it compelling. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram called it up-front and honest. Booklist called it “…a treat” and Publisher’s Weekly said it was like a “…barroom chat with an old friend.” Newsweek dubbed it, “…feisty and good-humored.” After several years devoted to heavy touring, Tanya released a self-titled album in 2002 on Tuckertime Records. Audiences welcomed signature Tanya performances on songs like “A Memory Like I’m Gonna Be” and “Old Weakness (Coming On Strong).” Billboard said: “Tanya Tucker’s throaty vocal has been sorely missed on contemporary country airwaves too often populated with female vocalists either blatantly going for crossover or trying out for cheerleader. Her first album in five years is a fine return to form with A-list writers and personality for days.” In that year she was named to the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. In November 2005 Tanya released a DVD and CD, Tanya Tucker Live at Billy Bob’s, and contributed two songs to A Tribute to Bob Wills 100th Anniversary: “Heart to Heart Talk” and “Take Me Back to Tulsa,” a trio with Porter Waggoner and Terry Bradshaw. Also in 2005 she released a new book, 100 Ways to Beat the Blues on Fireside, a division of Simon & Schuster. The book includes tips on pulling yourself out of the dumps from Tanya’s friends including Willie Nelson, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Brenda Lee, Roseanne, Burt Reynolds and Wynonna. It was a short jump from Tuckertime to Tuckerville. That feisty, good-natured star Newsweek wrote about is now welcoming fans into her home, via one of 2006’s hit reality shows: Welcome to Tuckerville. On The Learning Channel, Welcome to Tuckerville is an in-depth; behind the scenes visit with the star. Fans follow along with Tanya on tour, working her horses, playing with her large family of dogs (including a white Lab given to her by Kevin Costner) and, of course, her irrepressible and talented children, daughters Presley and Layla and son Grayson. The private individual that the fans meet in Tuckerville has perhaps been best described by noted music historian Robert Oermann in his 1993 book, Finding Her Voice: The Saga of Women in Country Music. “Tanya has a splendid sense of humor and a likable no-bull personality that add a lot to her undeniable charisma.”
