Tanya ‘Mother’ Tucker Returns To Mother Church

Living legend Tanya Tucker returned to the historic Ryman Auditorium for a special performance on Sunday (April 10) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of her country music classic, “Delta Dawn.”
The two-time Grammy winner, affectionately referred to as “Tanya Mother Tucker” by her diehard fans for her independent and rule-breaking spirit, delivered a stellar performance that will be remembered for a lifetime by the lucky fans and friends that procured a seat to the sold-out show.
Tucker began the show with a somber performance of the David Allan Coe cover, “Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)” that garnered her first of many standing ovations.
The show was advertised as an evening that would “welcome a few surprise guests,” but this show continuously over delivered, creating a series of non-stop, jaw-dropping moments as each “surprise” guest appeared from the shadows.
When you bring out the legendary Brenda Lee as a surprise guest on the third song of the night, you know you’re in for a special experience. It may have only been April, but the crowd easily got into the spirit when these two country rockers sang Lee’s holiday standard, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”

Next up was the incomparable Opry star Jeannie Seely, who joined Tucker for their rendition of “Don’t Touch Me” that earned a Grammy for Seely back in 1967.
A master in showmanship, Tucker delivered hit after hit and moment after moment.

After performing “Strong Enough to Bend” and then bringing out LeAnn Rimes to sing “Love Me Like You Used To,” Tucker admitted, “Tonight’s full of surprises. The first one was me getting into these pants!” Her sassy wit continued throughout the night taking the captivated audience through interwoven stories between her songs and guest performers.
Delbert McClinton joined Tucker on “Tell Me About It,” followed by Jessi Colter performing “Storms Never Last.”
Legendary country songwriter Sonny Throckmorton performed “The Cowboy Rides Away” which created one of George Strait’s early hits in 1985. Tucker’s daughter, Layla Tucker, wowed the crowd with her upcoming single, “The Way I Am,” which was also written by Throckmorton. And it was apparent Mama Tucker hadn’t wandered too far off stage when we heard the proud, supportive mom shout, “Get it, girl!”

Ty Herndon sauntered to the stage to perform “Two Sparrows in a Hurricane” with Tucker, a song she dedicated to her late parents for their enduring love for each other.
Performances continued during the night with guests T. Graham Brown, Leigh Nash, Paul Overstreet, Jason D. Williams, and more.
Session musician great Charlie McCoy, who played on the original one-take recording in 1972 of “Delta Dawn” by a 13-year-old Tucker, came out on stage for the crescendo of the evening.
Tucker flawlessly began performing “Delta Dawn” with both heart and gratitude after acknowledging its significant impact on her career. One by one, all the previous guest performers joined her on stage, escalating the spirit in the Ryman that night until we had all finished singing those poignant lyrics, “To take you to His mansion in the sky.”

LeAnn Rimes Announces New Album, ‘God’s Work,’ Out This September
/by Lydia FarthingLeAnn Rimes. Photo: Norman Seeff
Grammy Award-winning vocalist LeAnn Rimes will release her new album, God’s Work, through EverLe Records via Thirty Tigers/The Orchard on Sept. 16. Upon purchase, fans will be granted access to “Throw My Arms Around the World” and “I Do,” a duet by Rimes and Aloe Blacc, as well as new track “How Much a Heart Can Hold.”
The 12-track record features a genre-bending group of fellow artists, including Blacc, Mickey Guyton, Ziggy Marley, Ben Harper, Ledisi, Sheila E., Robert Randolph, and more. Written and produced by Rimes and her longtime collaborator and close friend Darrell Brown, God’s Work has been nearly three years in the making and takes listeners on their own unique journey, exploring the duality of life and recognizing its light and darkness.
“For me, God’s Work was all about a journey of reclamation, where humanity meets spirit,” Rimes shares. “The idea was to really dig into the duality of life, and I needed to be at the place I am in my life now in order to release this record whole-heartedly. It’s so empowering that I am finally there.”
Rimes intentionally chose to stylize the album title and track listing in an all-lowercase font, explaining, “If we’re arguing about why the ‘g’ is or isn’t capitalized, we’re missing the whole point. It’s so important for us to focus on the messages, rather than the nuances.”
To celebrate the album announcement and Rimes’ 25th career anniversary, she will headline a special installment of CMT Crossroads, airing on April 14 at 7 p.m. CT on CMT. CMT Crossroads: LeAnn Rimes & Friends will feature an all-female lineup, including Guyton, Carly Pearce, Ashley McBryde, and Brandy Clark, who help commemorate Rimes’ career.
Rimes will also kick off her upcoming tour “The Story…So Far” in support of God’s Work and her 25th anniversary on May 13. For a full list of upcoming dates, click here.
