Tanya Tucker Plays Charleston
Tucker has Charleston ties and explains in our raw interview. It's a web extra! Posted: 8:00 AM Aug 19, 2007Reporter: Amanda Barren Email Address: amanda.barren@wsaz.com |

She had her first hit at age 13.
Saturday, she lit up the stage in Charleston. Tucker was the headliner for a day full of country music at Appalachian Power Park.
Tanya Tucker had several hits in the late 1970s -- Delta Dawn is the one that probably comes to the top of your mind. In the late 1980s and early 90s, Tucker made a big comeback. She's also part of the pop culture landscape -- with a mention in one of Gretchen Wilson's recent songs.
"Well, Charleston's kind of special because my kids Presley and Grayson, their grandparents live here, Wanda and Jack Reed, and their uncle is Uncle Brad, who is on the police department. Uncle Burk. So it's kind of a special thing, I've been here several times as their guest. I spent Thanksgiving there once, so it's kind of homey. It's good coming back," Tanya Tucker told WSAZ.
Photojournalist Andrew Colegrove was granted a quick interview with Tucker behind the scenes. Watch the entire raw interview. One word of warning -- we have no idea why Andrew chose to ask Ms. Tucker about Sting getting back together with the Police.

TANYA TUCKER IS A UNIQUE SINGER AND PERFORMER AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HER. SHE HAS A SPECIAL TALENT OF CAPTIVATING THE AUDIENCE AND NONE OF THESE NEW SINGERS HAS A CLUE HOW TO SING A SONG WITH FEELING AND PERFORM THE WAY SHE DOES. SHE WAS A SUPERSTAR AT 13 AND SHE WILL ALWAYS BE A SUPERSTAR. WHEN YOU GO TO A TANYA TUCKER CONCERT YOU CAN BE SURE IT WILL BE A GREAT ONE. SHE HAS A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT AND ALSO A NEW DVD THAT SHE TAPED IN DICKSON, TN.. NOT ONLY IS SHE A MAGNIFICENT PERFORMER, SHE IS ALSO A GREAT MOM TO THREE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. IF HER CHILDREN TAKE AFTER HER THEY TOO SHOULD BE GREAT IN ANYTHING THEY CHOOSE TO DO. PRESLEY AND LAYLA ALREADY TAKE AFTER THEIR MOM, BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE GREAT VOICES. GRAYSON HAS SAID HE WANTED TO BE A SONG WRITER AND IF HE DOES BECOME ONE WITH HIS MOM'S HELP I'M SURE HE WILL BE A GREAT ONE.TANYA HAS DONE A SUPERB JOB OF RAISING HER CHILDREN TO BE POLITE, WELL MANNERED, SWEET AND LIKE HER ALWAYS CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS.
