In a major surprise, Tanya Tucker is nominated for four Grammy Awards, including song of the year, for her comeback album, 'While I'm Livin'.'
“Bring My Flowers Now,” co-written by Grammy favorite Brandi Carlile, earned two nominations, including one for song of the year.
“There’s not a better loser anywhere than me,” said Tucker, who has three adult children and a boyfriend with whom she shares her Nashville home. By just being nominated, “I’ve already won.” “During one of the sessions, Shooter said, ‘I think I just heard some Tanya Tucker in your voice,’” Carlile recalled recently inhow much Tanya Tucker you’ve heard in my voice.’ I started singing Tanya Tucker [songs] at 7. She was my favorite because she sounded so tough, and I wanted tough singers.”
“He asked me to produce the album with him and I was all in,” Carlile said. “We wrote all the songs so it’s like a musical biography of Tanya’s life.”Needless to say, Tucker came away mightily impressed with those songs Carlile wrote with her frequent Nashville songwriting partners Tim and Phil Hanseroth.“What the hell!” she marvels. “I’d never met Brandi until she walked into that studio.
