Tanya Tucker bolsters her country legacy with the powerful ‘While I’m Livin.' Read our review
arrives as a much-deserved course correction from Tucker. The album — part legacy-bolstering roots project, part first-person confessional — shows a more sensitive side of the former country star, so much so that Tucker was initially hesitant to record this batch of songs, which was co-produced by Carlile and Shooter Jennings and largely written by Carlile and her frequent collaborators, Phil and Tim Hanseroth.
Ballads like “The Day My Heart Goes Still,” “Bring My Flowers Now” and a stark rendition of Miranda Lambert’s signature “The House That Built Me” reveal a cracked-voice veteran vulnerability from Tucker that recalls the late-career records of her peers like Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash.
Thankfully, Tucker’s latest never succumbs to old-age weariness. “Hard Luck” is a roots-rock stomp; “Seminole Wind Calling” conjures the country-gospel of her breakthrough debut “Delta Dawn;” and “I Don’t Owe You Anything” is a sassy kiss-off from a middle-aged mother who’s had enough. “Darlin, I ain’t growing old with you/I don’t need your front porch swing,” Tucker sings over a down-home acoustic arrangement, fed up and bemused as she disavows a lifetime of working in the service of others.
