Tanya Tucker

Tanya Tucker is one of country music's true survivors. Scoring a hit with "Delta Dawn" at thirteen and then growing into adulthood without losing her audience is almost unheard of, and that's what fascinates me. I admire how she turned a turbulent, headline-filled life into fuel for the music rather than letting it consume her. That husky, unmistakable voice and her sheer stubbornness carried her through decades and a 1991 Female Vocalist award. For me she embodies the kind of authentic, hard-living artistry that simply can't be manufactured.
