Tanya Tucker Wants Her 'Turn'

Tanya Tucker hasn't made an album since the death of her father/manager Beau Tucker in 2006. But she'll return on June 2 with a unique project.

USA Today reports that Tucker will release 'My Turn,' a collection featuring her renditions of classic songs popularized by some of country music's greatest male artists, including Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Faron Young and George Jones.

"My dad basically introduced me to all those singers," says the 50-year-old Tucker. "Most songs that I've ever done, from 'Delta Dawn' on, were really for guys. I've spent a career taking men's songs and making them a woman's songs."

'My Turn' was produced by Pete Anderson, who helped repopularize the classic Bakersfield sound with his work on many of Dwight Yoakam's albums throughout the '80s and '90s.

Tanya is a legend. She takes every song that she sings and makes it her own, so I am sure this new album will be a smash. I Love You Tanya. My license plate says TUCRFAN and I truley am.

years ago I was working as security at a concert Tanya did. I've worked many concerts and she was the rudest person I ever worked with. She yelled at all the workers there and blew past the fans who had waited for a long time to see her without so much as a hello. She went straight from her bus to the stage and back again, stopping only to piss off everyone around her. I have had no respect for her ever since.

Tanya is one of my all-time favorites!! She is the one who inspired me to sing country music at the age of 15, when she was just a year older. I am so excited for her to have a new album out, especially one of classic hits made famous by male legends. It's going to be awesome, and I can't wait. Welcome back, Tanya, and don't ever go away again.

Ive got to agree. A lot of singers make it just on their looks. Miley Cyrus is another one. She isnt country but her dad is and he only had one hit. She would of never made it if she didnt have him as a dad. Miley cant sing at all.

How egotistical of her to assume anyone would want to hear form her again. There are too many really good singers out there that treat their fans with respect. Your 15 minutes are done. Go back to The Grand Old Oprey.
