There are certain songs that prove over time to be holiday standards but when you hear the classic voice of the legendary Tanya Tucker singing "Merry Christmas Wherever You Are," it's not hard to imagine that this track will instantly become a permanent addition to your holiday playlist. Tanya offers, "With so many troops deployed overseas and with the economy being such that people are having to relocate to find work, recording this track was a very personal and...
The traditional country stars — Conway Twitty, George Jones, Tammy Wynette Charlie Rich, Dolly Parton, Charley Pride — were still selling many records in the 1970s, and periodically crossed over to the pop charts. Singers like Donna Fargo evoked the good old days with happy songs like The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA. These were still the Opry years — in fact, in 1972 the Grand Ole Opry opened a theme park called Opryland, and wo years later moved out of its long-time home, the Ryman Theatre, to Opryland. But the Nashville scene no longer monopolised country, [...]

Cabooze, Club Jäger and Cracker Barrel. Three ways to catch your country music this week.
TNT is the ninth album by Tanya Tucker which came out in 1978. Working with a new producer in Jerry Goldstein, Tucker drifted away from her earlier country style to do a much more rock-based effort. She covers well-known rock songs originally performed by such artists as Buddy Holly ("Not Fade Away"), Elvis Presley ("Heartbreak Hotel"), and Chuck Berry ("Brown Eyed Handsome Man"). Tucker also covers John Prine's bluesy "Angel from Montgomery," previously performed by Prine himself. However, the best song on the album may be the original "Texas (When I Die)," which had never been previously recorded. The [...]
Here's Ideal Man's Top Ten to kick start your week: Tanya Tucker - Delta Dawn : This was my first favorite song ever. I remember being 6 and loving this song for some reason. Someone in my family finally broke down and bought me a Tanya Tucker cassette that had this song on it and I'd listen to it every night when I was going to bed. Now I can't sleep without music playing, I blame Tanya. Conway Twitty - Don't Cry Joni : [...]
