Tanya Tucker joins Bob from Nashville ahead of her appearance at the Country 2 Country festival next week! She'll be playing songs from her Grammy winning new album "While I'm Livin'" - her first in over a decade - and discussing her career which began in the early 70s when she was just thirteen.

NPR in the US recently said of her "Tanya Tucker has always been a hellraiser. The 60-year-old country singer who shot to fame with Delta Dawn in 1972 at 13 has made a career out of charismatic sass, an outlaw image and a signature vocal performance to back it up. Throughout Tucker's career, there have been bestselling albums, awards and recognition including an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame. There have also been bouts with drug addiction and rehabilitation.

Looking back on her career, Tucker says she was associated with the "country outlaw" movement mostly as a comparison with other female country stars at the time.

"I think maybe it was that in country music, especially most of the gals, they didn't move around much. They pretty much stood there and say 鈥� and sang great, I might add," she says. "I can't do that. I can't stand still. I think that might have got it started. Plus, I dressed a lot different than most of the gals and country music. You know, I had leather on, them tight pants and when I moved, I moved because I felt it."
