Reviewers are applauding Live From The Troubadour including the previously shared medley of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” / Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” and “Delta Dawn.”
“Her Troubadour appearances quickly made perfectly clear: Unlike some of those other predecessors, Tucker is still very much — to borrow the show-biz parlance of James Brown — a get-on-up, stay-on the-scene sex machine.”
–Variety, Chris Willman
“It’s a smoldering medley: covers of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” and Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.”
–Rolling Stone Country, Joe Hudak
“At a time when country music fans across the country are all craving some live music comes word that the iconic Tanya Tucker is about to give everyone some… from the native Texan’s impressive catalog.”
–Taste of Country, Tricia Despres
“Country music’s most unbridled female star delivers a masterclass in old school country showmanship. Beyond the hits, there’s also a fascinating merging of Bruce Springsteen’s ‘I’m On Fire’ with Johnny Cash’s ‘Ring of Fire.’”
–Pollstar, Holly Gleason
“Tanya Tucker is on fire!”
–ET Canada, Corey Atad
“A Feral singer. Tucker’s performance transcends delivery.”
–American Songwriter, Holly Gleason
“Kicking the familiar tune off with a soulful rendition of ‘Amazing Grace,’ Tucker then launches into an emotional, heart-stirring version of the 1972 hit with enough poignancy in her warble to knock over a cornfield.”
–Southern Living, Perri Ormont Blumberg
Tanya’s official music video for her GRAMMY® winning song “Bring My Flowers Now,” featuring Brandi Carlile and directed by Trey Fanjoy, is a finalist for the 2020 CMT Award’s Video of the Year, alongside nominees Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs and Miranda Lambert.
