2020 Grammy Award-Winner for Best Country Album and Best Country Song ("Bring My Flowers Now")!

First Album of All New Original Material Since 2002 Produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings!

Produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings, While I'm Livin' marks Tanya Tucker's first release of all new material since 2002's Tanya. While I'm Livin' is largely comprised of songs written by Carlile, 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 Day My Heart Goes Still" is a reflection of Tucker's enduring love for her late father, while "Mustang Ridge" recalls her hardscrabble childhood in central Texas. While I'm Livin' also contains some well-chosen covers including "High Ridin' Heroes," a 1987 song Shooter selected that featured David Lynn Jones and his dad, Waylon Jennings, "The House That Built Me," a track made famous by Miranda Lambert and "Hard Luck" the 1979 chestnut by country-rockers, Josefus. In many ways, the album's cornerstone is "Bring My Flowers Now," the only tune that was co-written by Tucker, Carlile and the twins. The album closer, told through Carlile's solo piano and Tucker's plaintive vocal, speaks to the importance of showing appreciation to those we love, before it's too late.

"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."

Tucker had her first country hit in 1972, the classic "Delta Dawn" when she was just 13 years old. Since that auspicious beginning she has become one of the most admired and influential artists in country music history amassing 23 Top 40 country albums and a stellar string of 56 Top 40 country singles, 10 of which reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard country charts. Her indelible songs include some of country music's biggest hits such as the aforementioned, "Delta Dawn," "Soon," "Two Sparrows in a Hurricane," "It's a Little Too Late," "Trouble," "Texas (When I Die)," "If It Don't Come Easy," and "Strong Enough To Bend" just to name a few. In all, Tucker has sold more than 25 million records worldwide throughout her illustrious career.
