Tanya Tucker Album: “Best of Tanya Tucker [Universal]”

With middle-age, I've acquired a greater appreciation for country music. Tanya's story- telling quality is wonderful for long road trips and fun to sing.

This CD which came packaged in the plastic wrapper did not play at all. I did not contact the seller because I only spend about $5 but I was not happy with the purchase either.

These are Tanya's "less country, more pop" tunes from the early 80s. Some even with (gasp!) Glen Campbell! Yeah, their gently rockin', uptempo duet of Bobby Darin's "Dream Lover" is included here. And you can hear Glen on background in the catchy "Can I See You Tonite." "Somebody Buy This Cowgirl a Beer" written by the late Shel Silverstein is funny. Also fun is the do-woppy, recorded by the Pointer Sisters, "Should I Do It?" Too bad they didn't include more stuff from the album this appeared on, "Should I Do It?" That had some good tunes, like Leo Sayer's "Stormy Weather" featuring Tanya singing with Emmylou Harris. If you like the more L.A., pop-sounding Tanya, this is the collection for you!
