And for her, a revival of Tucker\u2019s incredible gift and a resurgence of her popularity are long overdue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor some reason, in country music, we have a way of not telling legends they\u2019re legends until they\u2019re 80, when we could have told them when they were 60 and they would have still had 30 years to teach us and stay in the spotlight and stay relevant to us,\u201d Carlile declared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wait until they\u2019re so old before we have these tributes for them, and it\u2019s beautiful, but we should have done this for Willie [Nelson] when he was 60 and should have done this for Loretta [Lynn] when she was 60. So this record\u2019s called \u2018While I\u2019m Living\u2019 because I\u2019ll be God-damned if we\u2019re not going to tribute her while she\u2019s living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlile enlisted the help of legendary producer Rick Rubin to prepare for her role as a producer, particularly in this unique situation. \u201cRick Rubin mentored me prior to making this record about how he approached [Johnny] Cash to do something like this,\u201d she told <em>Variety<\/em>. This will be the first release of new music from Tucker in seventeen years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that it\u2019s time for us to remind the world that she\u2019s influenced a whole corner of country music that no one else has even touched,\u201d says Carlile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, she would tell you that Wanda Jackson and Connie Smith did it before her, and they did. But that kind of sassy toughness you hear in any of today\u2019s singers \u2014 that Loretta-after- a-bottle-of-Scotch thing \u2014 that\u2019s Tanya Tucker. That\u2019s where Miranda [Lambert] gets it from. That\u2019s where Kacey [Musgraves] gets it from, especially on her previous album, \u2018Pageant Material.\u2019 That\u2019s where Maren [Morris] gets it from, on \u2018My Church.\u2019 And Gretchen Wilson, of course [who name-checked Tucker in \u2018Redneck Woman\u2019] \u2014 and that\u2019s where I get it from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No release dates for the projects have been announced yet, but you can read the full story on the album and documentary in <em>Variety<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2019\/music\/news\/brandi-carlile-tanya-tucker-comeback-album-documentary-1203130190\/?fbclid=IwAR1e3gSTdjyBd2IPvc-uwAszN08NMm0L7bPU4tZoOkF9x_xJ7VL1HJg0CA8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
