I have been a Tanya Tucker fan since I was a little girl and when I say a fan it is probably like no other... if I ever have a little girl she will be named Delta Dawn.. It was on my list of names for my boys Grayson & Tucker (still not sure why I didn't at least get one of them?) My favorite Uncle Bud used to sing Delta Dawn to me as a little girl. I still hear him sing that song to me when it comes on the radio. We used to sing that whole album together so it holds a special place for me.
So when my husband called after a oh so crazy week, I hadn't been home had any sleep or even seen my kids all week. Yet it was Tanya Tucker and we were guest listed really NOWAY not missing that no matter if I was running on empty or not. It was oh so worth it hands down the best show I have ever seen... I think I have such a draw to her cause she has always been the bad girl of country. Never really gave a crap about what the rest thought said what she wanted, for sure was always different, she always stayed true to herself. Plus, back in the day she was a pretty hot lady.I just have always loved her voice and her music and I guess her rebel ways. I have to say I think I have every album she has ever put out and probably lost a few and bought them again. We hung out with her kids after the show and they are just as amazing as she is and all have wonderful voices and just as distinct as hers. Paul Overstreet showed up as a surprise to celebrate her birthday. We had been across the street for a few beers before the show and Paul came over and took the bar stool beside me that our friend Jayson was sitting on (he was on a potty break) which was kinda funny. Great guy and still has a great voice as well. Too bad we can't trade in these Justin Bebers, Hanna Montana, & Taylor Swifts and get back Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and a few others from the 80's the music from that decade just seems so solid. I will say the place was packed and sold out at $40 a ticket which I though was a little crazy but now oh so worth it I will so pay to go back. One observation I thought was interesting it was full of OLD people wasn't sure if I was gonna have to catch dentures or a depend undergarment..
