WHILE I'M LIVING: TANYA TUCKER & WARREN STORM

January 26th, 2022

Singer Tanya Tucker got her start as a very young singer in Nashville. At age 13, she had her first hit with “Delta Dawn.” Since then, she’s seen a lot of the world of Country Music but still kept her landmark sound. We’ll talk about her recent Grammy-winning record and her love of cutting horses in the Desert West. Then the late King of Swamp Pop, Warren Storm brings us back to Louisiana where he took the world by storm with a new recording of classic songs.
