Tanya Tucker – While I’m Livin’ (2019) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

A country star since 1972, when she was just 13, Tanya Tucker shines bright on her 25th studio album — produced with great reverence by Shooter Jennings and Brandi Carlile, and featuring an abundance of songs written by the latter. Indeed, the most apt description is that “While I’m Livin'” sounds like a Tanya Tucker record in the hands of Brandi Carlile: at turns tough and tender, moody and simple, and rocking and deep in its country roots. Tucker’s voice wears years of hard living, but it’s beautiful: sassy and strutting on the honkytonk “I Don’t Owe You Anything,” strong and independent on the hymn-like “Seminole Wind Calling.” She even evokes Tom Waits on the spare “High Ridin’ Heroes,” utterly convincing as she reminunates on going from “Ridin’ that hot streak” to “fallin’ off the wagon and under the wheels.” When she turns that voice to a cover of “The House That Built Me,” made famous by Miranda Lambert but told here from the mother’s point of view rather than the child’s, it’s nothing less than stunning.

Tanya Tucker – Sweet Western Sound (2023) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

Studio Masters By admin · June 26, 2023 · Comments off

Sweet Western Sound is Tanya Tucker’s first album of new music since 2019’s 2x Grammy Award-winning, While I’m Livin’, the re-introduction that revitalized her career and brought her music to a new generation of fans. While that album’s stripped-down, singer-songwriter approach leaned toward the acoustic side, Sweet Western Sound’s framework is more muscular, evoking, at times, the vintage West Coast country-rock productions of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings.
