Tanya Tucker "While I'm Livin'" Tracklist & Cover Art

One of country music's most-expressive vocalists and personalities returns to the spotlight with her debut project for Fantasy Records. See all the details about the Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings-produced album here.

On August 23, 2019, the world will be up for a treat as country music’s original rebel returns with her first album of all new music in seventeen years. The album, which teamed her with Shooter Jennings and Brandi Carlile as producers, is called While I’m Livin’ and follows 2002’s Tanya. The first song released from the project, “The Wheels Of Laredo,” is out now and will be performed on tonight’s CMT Awards.

“Brandi is truly out of this world. She’s talented, smart, funny, never ever slows down and has a heart of gold,” says Tucker of the collaboration. “I just love her. She was like my shadow when we were in the studio. Every time I turned around, she was there. And Shooter, I’ve known him since he was a baby. He’s the one who brought us all together. So I’m ready to get this music out there because it’s different than anything I’ve ever done.”

While I’m Livin’ is largely comprised of songs written by Carlile, the twins Tim and Phil Hanseroth and Tucker. “It’s a musical biography of sorts,” said Carlile, “about Tanya’s real life and the places she’s seen, and it’s narrated by the greatest country and western singer this side of Johnny Cash.”
The album's emotional heart is the closing song "Bring Me Flowers Now," the lone song Tanya co-wrote for While I'm Livin'," with the majority of the rest of the album written by Carlile and her longtime writing partners Tim and Phil Hanseroth.
