Born in Texas, Tanya's father booked her to perform with visiting country stars on stage at local fairs. Never one to consider that some songs might be too old for her, she was singing Loretta Lynn’s You Ain’t Woman Enough before she was 13. In 1972, producer Billy Sherrill signed Tucker to Columbia Records in Nashville. She first reached the Top 10 with Delta Dawn, followed by the double-sided Jamestown Ferry/Love’s the Answer and the No. 1 hit, What’s Your Mama’s Name?

The young Tucker quickly became a country star, was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone and through 200 appearances a year, developed a powerful, if precocious, stage presence. She topped the country charts with Lizzie and the Rainman, San Antonio Stroll & Here’s Some Love. In 1978, she wrote and recorded Save Me, an ecologically inspired single about seal culls on Canada’s Magdalen Islands.

Tucker’s career was revitalized with 1986’s Girls Like Me, an album that spawned four Top 10 country singles. In 1988, she had three No. 1 country singles: I Won’t Take Less Than Your Love, If It Don’t Come Easy and Strong Enough to Bend.
In 1991, her contributions to country music were finally rewarded when the Country Music Association voted her the female vocalist. Eight consecutive singles reached the Top 10 in the early 1990s, including Down to My Last Teardrop and Two Sparrows in a Hurricane. In 1996, she published the autobiography Nickel Dreams. After parting with Capitol Records, she issued the album Tanya on her own label in 2002. Her new album is titled My Turn.

Songs: Delta Dawn, What's Your Mama's Name?, Would You Lay With Me (In A Field Of Stone), Lizzie And The Rain Man, San Antonio Stroll & (Without You) What Do I Do With Me
