Tanya Tucker to release While I’m Livin’ in August

Country legend Tanya Tucker is releasing new album While I’m Livin’, her first album in 17 years, on 23rd August 2019 via Fantasy Records.

The album is produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings, and the lead single is The Wheels of Laredo. The video for the track, directed by Myriam Santos, has been released and you can watch it below:

ā€œBrandi is truly out of this world. Sheā€™s talented, smart, funny, never ever slows down and has a heart of gold,ā€ says Tucker of the collaboration. ā€œI just love her. She was like my shadow when we were in the studio. Every time I turned around, she was there. And Shooter, Iā€™ve known him since he was a baby. Heā€™s the one who brought us all together. So Iā€™m ready to get this music out there because itā€™s different than anything Iā€™ve ever done.ā€

The album is largely written by Carlile, the twins Tim and Phil Hanseroth and Tucker.

ā€œItā€™s a musical biography of sorts,ā€ said Carlile, ā€œabout Tanyaā€™s real life and the places sheā€™s seen, and itā€™s narrated by the greatest country and western singer this side of Johnny Cash.ā€

Tucker was born in Seminole, Texas and had her first Country hit, Delta Dawn, at the age of 13 in 1972. She’s has 23 Top 40 albums and 56 Top 40 singles, 10 of which reached number one.
