For country music legend Tanya Tucker, 2019’s While I’m Livin’ is a career highlight and a true “lightning in a bottle” recording. Every stellar song on the album embraces her signature steel wool and sandpaper-brushed vocals, celebrates her natural storytelling abilities, and tips a rugged old hat to the extremely colorful life she’s lived so far. The tightly written and lovingly produced collection of originals and covers, helmed in the studio by Shooter Jennings and Brandi Carlile, cradles the roots sound of Americana music with Tucker’s maternal warmth and trademark Country sass to gift us with an essential renaissance album that rightfully revitalized Tucker’s sound, career, and legacy.
