Country singer Tanya Tucker has put the finishing touches on her new album ‘My Turn’ – which will be released on Saguaro Road Records on June 30th.
Tucker is one of country music’s icons and has enjoyed a career that began with her first Top 10 hit at the age of 13. The new album sees Tucker taking on classic country songs originally recorded by the all time great male legends of the time and turning the tables, giving classics such as “You Don’t Know Me” and “Oh, Lonesome Me” a powerful reconstruction from a woman’s point of view.
Working with producer Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam, Michelle Shocked), Tucker selected songs from her childhood that inspired her career and completely transformed their delivery and meaning with her inimitable earthy, passionate and unflinching style.
Tucker reworked classics such as Buck Owens’ “Love’s Gonna Live Here” (featuring Jim Lauderdale), “You Don’t Know Me” by Eddy Arnold, George Jones’ “Walk Through This World With Me” and even invited The Grascals to join her on a flip-flop of the Conway Twitty/Loretta Lynn duet “After The Fire Is Gone.”
Bluegrass stars Rhonda and Darrin Vincent also appear on the album and producer Anderson does double duty, playing guitar on each track.
