I love Tanya Tucker songs so I think I'll share "Delta Down". This is one of my favorites, although I think "Would You Lay With Me" is probably my favorite, if I was forced to choose. Of course, "Blood Red and Goin' Down" is also a great song. Then there's "What's Your Mama's Name" -- a song that will break your heart everything you hear it. I do also have "Lizzie and the Rainman" which is, basically, a retelling of The Rainmaker and even with out getting to watch Burt Lancaster in action, it's still a good song.
Tanya was the original "teen country star". She was 13 when she recorded this song -- only 15 when she recorded "Would You Lay With Me (in a field of stone)". Which means I was 7 years younger than that when I first heard and fell in love with her songs. She never lost her fan base and despite the fact that contemporary country radio is deathly afraid of playing any music stars who are over 30 years old, she is still putting out good songs. iTunes was slow in catching getting good country music (I guess you really couldn't expect a bunch of citified, southern Californians to really understand country music right away), it's really coming around lately.
"Delta Dawn", Tanya Tucker
