While I'm Livin' is the 26th studio album by American country music singer Tanya Tucker. It was released on August 23, 2019, by Fantasy Records. The album was produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings. It is Tucker's first album in a decade, since 2009's My Turn , and her first album of original material since her 2002 album, Tanya . The album earned Tucker the Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in addition to winning Best Country Song for "Bring My Flowers Now" which was also nominated for Best Country Solo Performance, and the all-genre Grammy Award for Song of the Year. Rolling Stone placed the album at number one on the publication's list of the 40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2019 and number 24 on their list of the top 50 Albums of 2019. Tucker promoted the album throughout 2019 with the While I'm Livin' Tour and continued to support the album in the first quarter of 2020 on the Bring My Flowers Now Tour, a partnership with CMT's Next Women of Country. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the remainder of the tour to be postponed until July 2021.

Background

After Tucker's 2002 album, Tanya , barely broke the top 40 of the country albums chart, she began to retreat from the spotlight. Since 2002, Tucker has only released one studio album, 2009's My Turn , an album of covers of songs by male country stars she listened to growing up, which was a disaster by Tucker's standards. She later recalled to Entertainment Weekly that "It should have been called My Sh—y Turn. They didn't use the final vocals I made. I had no control." After the release of My Turn, Tucker had more personal and pressing issues to deal with. She began to experience health problems from the chronic fatigue disease Epstein-barr. Both of her parents died, her father in 2006 and mother in 2012, leaving her emotionally drained and without management. Tucker's father had been her manager since the beginning of her career. Tucker recalled this time in her life, saying, "I quit touring. I didn't have a band. I went out to Malibu and sat in the sun and spent a lot of money." [1]

Once Tucker decided to come back to the spotlight, she went to various labels only to find that there was little interest. For a while, Shooter Jennings (son of Waylon Jennings) had been casually speaking with her about the possibility of him producing her new album. Plans for a new album really began to speed up once Jennings mentioned to friend and avid Tucker fan Brandi Carlile that he would like for her to write a new song for the album. Carlile and her long-time collaborators, Phil and Tim Hanseroth, wrote nearly an entire album's worth of material. Jennings told Carlile that since she was such a big Tanya fan, she should co-produce the album with him. Tucker recalled that she was hesitant about recording the album at first, saying, "I didn’t know if the songs were strong enough." [1]

The album was recorded over three weeks in January 2019, at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles. [2] Tucker stated in an interview on Acoustic Café that "High Ridin' Heroes" was the first song recorded for the album. Tucker recorded a cover of Dennis Quaid and the Sharks' "On My Way to Heaven" for the album, featuring Quaid and Kris Kristofferson on backing vocals, but it was not included on the album's final track listing. [3]

Content

The majority of the album was written by Brandi Carlile and twin brothers Tim and Phil Hanseroth. The trio wrote seven of the album's ten tracks. The remaining three songs are covers.

The album opens with "Mustang Ridge", described by Rolling Stone as the album's "sing-a-long mission statement," [15] it contains references to locations in Tucker's native Texas: Mustang Ridge and San Antonio's Hays Street Bridge. [16] The second track, "The Wheels of Laredo", is described by Taste of Country as a "throbbing ballad that appears to acutely point at the contradictions inherent in the illegal immigration debate." [17] "I Don’t Owe You Anything", the third track, is a "sassy kiss-off from a middle-aged mother who’s had enough," sung over a down-home acoustic arrangement. [15] The album's fourth track, "The Day My Heart Goes Still", is a tribute to Tucker's father and manager, Beau, who died in 2006. [16] Track five, "High Ridin’ Heroes", is a cover of a song written by David Lynn Jones in 1987 and originally recorded by Jones as a duet with Waylon Jennings. [16]

The sixth track is a cover of Miranda Lambert’s 2010 hit, "The House That Built Me", which was written by Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin. Tucker’s version transforms the song into a "deeply moving account of a parent who is searching for meaning in their life after the children have left behind a house whose emptiness becomes too much to bear." [16] The seventh track on the album, "Hard Luck", is another cover. It was written by John C. Bailey, David Lee Mitchell, Raymond L. Turner, and Jerry Ontiberoz, and originally recorded in 1979 by Texas proto-metal band Josefus. In Tucker's hands the song becomes "an outlaw anthem of survival." [16] The track features group background vocals from a number of people; including actor Dennis Quaid; Tucker's son, Grayson; and his father, Ben Reed. On the album's eighth track, "Rich", Tucker recalls the lean years spent traveling with her dad, which plays like her own version of Dolly Parton’s "Coat of Many Colors". [18] Rolling Stone compared "Seminole Wind Calling", the album's ninth track, to Tucker's 1972 debut single, "Delta Dawn", saying that it "conjures the country-gospel of her breakthrough debut." [15] The album closes with "Bring My Flowers Now", which was written by Tucker with Carlile and the Hanseroth brothers. The tender ballad is a reminder "to show appreciation for those we cherish while we still have that opportunity." [9]

Amorosi praised Carlile and the Hanseroth's "intuitive songwriting" and said that Tucker "proudly inhabits their biographical approximation of her nine lives with earnestness and ease." [22] Jonathan Bernstein from Rolling Stone gave the album four out of five stars, praising the album's song selection and said that Tucker "never succumbs to old-age weariness." [15] In a review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album four out of five stars. He felt that Tucker's covers of "Hard Luck" and "The House That Built Me" "add texture and deepen the emotional undercurrents flowing through the record." He went on to say that when the covers are combined with the original songs "these tunes paint a portrait of a mighty artist who has been through a lot but is fearless about the future." [20] In a mixed review for Mojo , Fred Dellar said, "Tucker has created an album that should endear her to those who still raise the outlaw flag while also appealing to hard-edged pop-tinged rock believers." [21]
