Tanya
Tucker was the kind of bold Country singer you’d never see today because most
of the female vocalists/writers/performers have little substance or are more flash
than substance. She was on a roll on the
Country charts when she taped this 1981 concert at The Church Street Station in
Florida. She sings eight songs and sadly
butchers Helen Reddy’s hit Delta Dawn. Her performances are fairly good, but she has
done better. Many at the time may have
seen her on TV’s Solid Gold, where
she infamously did not get along with Dionne Warwick.
As a
bonus, fellow MCA Records (now Universal) artist Terri Gibbs shows up and sings
four songs, including her one Pop hit Somebody’s
Knockin’ from 1981 resulting in better performances. Tucker had her only Pop hit in 1975. Both are analog tapings and the 1.33 X 1
image is very soft. Color is limited
and depth is a joke. The Dolby Digital
2.0 sound is unfortunately mono all the way and there are no extras.
