Tanya Tucker

In 1972 Tanya Tucker was signed to Columbia Records in Nashville. She made the Country Top 10 with 'Delta Dawn', and did equally well with the double-sided 'Jamestown Ferry'/'Love's The Answer', and then had a #1 Country Hit with 'What's Your Mama's Name?'. 'Blood Red And Goin' Down', the title referring to a Georgia sunset, was about a daughter watching her father kill her cheating mother, while 'Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone)?' was an adult love song, written by David Allen Coe for his brother's wedding. The young Tucker became a country star, was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone, and, through 200 appearances a year, devoloped a powerful, if precocious, stage presence. At 16 and with a new label she topped the country charts with 'Lizzie And The Rainman' , 'San Antonio Stroll' and 'Here's Some Love'. In 1988 Tucker's career was revitalized with Girls Like Me, an album that spawned four Top 10 country singles. 

In 1988 she had three number 1 country singles - 'I Won't Take Less Than Your Love' , 'If It Don't Come Easy' and 'Strong Enough To Bend' . 

After many years in country music her contributions were finally rewarded by the Country Music Association when they voted her Female Vocalist Of The Year in 1991.Her country chart successes included two number 2s with 'Down To My Last Teardrop' and '(Without You) What Do I Do About Me'. In 1992 further hits included 'Some Kind Of Trouble'.,
