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 stylings 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.

The Texas Tornado was born on October 10, 1958 in Seminole, Texas. By the time she was 8, she was singing everything she heard on country radio,

Tanya was 13 when a Las Vegas songwriter introduced her to legendary record producer Billy Sherill. 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, and then another megahit: What’s Your Mama’s Name? She was 15 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.

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 singed 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 in 1992 she was Country Music Television’s Female Video Artist of the Year. In 1996, she was one of the Top 10 overall most played artists of the year, and Capitol Records biggest-selling signed female country artist.

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).

It was a short jump from Tuckertime to Tuckerville. The Feisty, good-natured star is now welcoming fans into her home, via: Welcome to Tuckerville. Fans follow along with Tanya on tour, working her horses, playing with her large family of dogs and, of course, her irrepressible and talented children; daughters Presley and Layla and son Grayson.
