Good ole Tanya, the original Country Music female outlaw and hellraiser!

[@edithmaxim2041]

One of the most energetic entertainers out there. Always a great show.

[@johndavidson5228]

What a performance for such a deserving cause! Thanks again for another enjoyable reaction.

[@P-M-869]

You should search KZbin for Tanya Tucker at Church Street Station. What an energetic show. I have seen her 3 times.

[@KevinRCarr]

Tanya and I are about the same age, so when she exploded into my life through the country-western music radio stations at (both of our) age 14, my crush and envious admiration began, and didn't subside until a decade or more later. Thanks for bringing her back around.

[@bendyrland7213]

Tanya has also raised more Hell than most. She released a new album just a couple of years ago. I haven't listened to the entire album, but I have heard a few of the songs. I thought the few that I did hear were very good and Tanya sounded great Still going strong after all these years. A fixture on the country scene for decades. Thanks for the reaction and thoughts. Top notch as always.

[@ttrob93]

Tanya Tucker is a National Treasure , I've had the pleasure seeing her a few times. Here's another suggestion for you , Ray Wylie Hubbard's song, Screw You, We're from Texas. The music fog version is my favorite.

[@realbser1956]

Tanya is a tornado. She really packs a punch even, as you said, when the conditions were not optimal. Fearless.

[@andrewdawn]

Keep the Tanya reactions coming !!!

[@pamalaalford1081]

Speaking of Texas, you should listen to a live performance of Lyle Lovett doing "That's Right, You're Not From Texas" ... another proud of Texas song. I believe you will really enjoy it. I have been enjoying your journey into country music. You are open minded, you're funny and you clearly love music. Keep doing and I will keep watching!

@@DjPjrocReacts911 Thank you so much ... I hope it is soon but I am sure you have a long list so I will try to be patient.

[@jamesdillman6811]

You’ve got to love Tanya. She is indeed a bundle of energy. I had the chance to meet her many years ago in a hotel bar in Atlanta. We’d both had a little too much to drink. She was very friendly and sweet.

[@sixpakshaker88]

I'll give credit to our next door neighbor... Louisiana Saturday Night is a song that brings up the same nostalgia for me as this song does.

[@dsgm10]

Love her

[@mistab24]

TNT was her first of two rock albums with a little country thrown in. She worked with 2 legendary rock producers, Jerry Goldstein and Mike Chapman. To hear the raw power of her voice, she did excellent covers of "Not Fade Away" and "Heartbreak Hotel".

[@donrogers1337]

She is Great, and has a life time of music worth hearing.

[@marlakay]

What an awesome event! The only state that may be worse than TX is KY. I know from experience! Born & raised bluegrass girl🤠

[@Seantherad]

She does " The San Antonio Stroll" also. Cool reaction, you know Texans lol.

[@markoehler2752]

Damn right we’re proud to be from Texas! And that the likes of Tanya Tucker is too! (And Willie & Waylon & Guy Clark & Kristofferson & the list goes on!)

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@Mark Oehler Its all good Tex!

[@markoehler2752]

@@DjPjrocReacts911 and Townes Van Zandt was a Texan too! I don’t know if you’re familiar with him or not, but, much like Kristofferson, he was an incredible song writer even though he wasn’t the best singer in the world. He was quite eccentric too, really an interesting story. Oh, another one of your favorites, Ray Price, was a Texan too! Everything is better in Texas! 🤣

[@dsusan17]

She was and still is a energetic performer. Wonderful reaction P.J.

[@chazfu]

Growing up in 80's Texas, I heard this song more times than I can count. Still not tired of it.

[@voidmstr]

I was one of the scores of background singers who join in the chorus at the end of the record.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

Nice!

[@voidmstr]

@@DjPjrocReacts911 Tanya's "TNT" LP was produced by Far Out Production's Jerry Goldstein, the guy behind WAR.

@voidmstr Wow! JG and the boys! Now I have to listen to the studio stuff. Apple music here I come. Thanks!

[@melaniew4354]

It's a Little Too Late to Do the Right Thing Now is a really good song of hers

[@masonsteele1674]

She's got enough energy to make coffee nervous! 😉

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@mason Steele That’s energy ☕️

[@marenehanson5526]

I believe it still happens every year. That’s where I first saw Jamey Johnson sing Lead me Home. It seems like you may have done the song Redneck Woman which has a shout out to Tanya as a hell raiser.

[@danwilliams762]

Listen to the way that woman’s voice filled up all of the outdoors! The only other female performer I could think of right off the bat who could do that would be Whitney Houston. Say, I just learned Bobby Borchers had a hand in writing this. Some of his late ‘70s recordings included Whispers, Cheap Perfume and Candlelight and one of my top (hundred) country songs ever, Sweet Fantasy which is on my mix right now. Very rich and warm voice. You should check him out when you get a chance. (LMAO…). In any case, Tanya proves herself as one of the greats every time you hear her.

[@tonydelapa1911]

Melanie (Safka) of “Lay Down” fame is another booming voice I never tire of hearing. This performance with the Edwin Hawkins Singers in The Netherlands is a great example. Even the stodgy audience of mostly older people who probably spoke little or no English was moved before it was over. It’s certainly not country music but some folk overtones, or born of folk, could be argued. What a song and version! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4uYY5-hbtydkKs

[@danwilliams762]

I have to agree, Tony. In fact coincidentally, Lay Down is literally on my iPod mix right now. I have that and Brand New Key on 45s. A very commanding and unique voice.

[@tonydelapa1911]

@@danwilliams762 Thank you, Dan. You have great taste in music. 😃

[@georgehockaday7584]

Great Show! Peace!

[@chazfu]

I've been going back over a lot of the music I listened to in the 80's and 90's, and started to appreciate how many great female vocalists there were then. In every genre. Good times. Good tunes.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@Tex Mechs Great stuff!

[@57mab]

check out "La Energía Norteña" and their version of "Deep In the Heart of Texas" ;)

[@Teresia12]

She always was. I love Tanya so much. I dated a Texan once and he always said Texas was THE southern state. Tennessee, where I was raised didn't count nor any of the other Southern states. Texas do have a ton of pride. Fun fact. The entire population of the US will fit in the state of Texas.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@Teresia Although I wasent born in the great state of Texas, I grew up there. Houston Texas. Great town!

[@chazfu]

@@DjPjrocReacts911 I was born in H-town. But grew up near Tomball where Lyle Lovett is from. It is a great place to visit, but you do not want to live there in the summer. Humid enough to take your goldfish for a walk. The Houston Zoo and the Space Museum are must see spots though, just go after September and before May.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@Tex Mechs Texas boy my self, grew up in the Houston area. From the 5th grade on. Left the state in 86.

[@Teresia12]

@@DjPjrocReacts911 I once stayed at a commune in Houston for a little over a year. 1976. A long time ago. I'm sure it has changed and grown a lot since then. It was a great town back then as well. It seems to have been a very musical town for a very, very long time. I loved my stay there.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@Teresia Its a great big city, lots to do and see. Don't visit during the summer months, oh my you know what.

[@nestea8385]

I remember this. As a single Mom of a 2 yr old, I couldn't have afforded to go, but it didn't matter. All of Champaign-Urbana just erupted. There were a lot of tailgaters set up in parks, parking lots, etc. Heck, your own back yard. Cooking out, partying. You couldn't get anywhere near the stadium with all the traffic, but being able to hear it for miles, was pretty cool too. Also, TAnya. A- as in apple. She always had a bit of natural grit to her voice, but it was more noticeable here.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@Nestea Did I get her name wrong again? I tried really hard.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@ColonialBuckey Next TAnya reaction, i'll nail it! thanks Buckeye.

[@chazfu]

I've heard it pronounced both ways. It seems to depend on the accent of the speaker.

[@carlprince2866]

Had another truck driver tell me he was from Texas . I asked what part? he said Austin . I said hell that aint Texas . He laughed with me

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@Carl Prince LOL

[@hotbloodedtexn]

I loved the reaction and appreciate the kind words about Texas. There's just one tiny thing that is repeated several times through the video that as a Texan it's my duty to point out... the pronunciation of her name. Her name is pronounced just as it is spelled... It's definitely NOT Tonya. You use the same sound as you would to say 'tan' . Tan-ya. I loved everything about the reaction besides that.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@hotbloodedtexn I appreciate the correction, thank you.

[@757optim]

Tanya started making hits at 13.

[@tallestmountain]

Tanya was a woman comfortable in her own skin. We drove across Texas. The farther west we got the shorter the plants got. Austin isn’t too bad.

[@warrenburlingame1172]

@Minton Miller Your thoughts on the Farm Aid concerts?

[@mintonmiller]

@@DjPjrocReacts911 When the concert were first being planned I think Willie had in mind it was going to be mostly country music. John Mellencamp and the band leaders of foreigner and other groups started calling Willie, asking can we be a part of this to? The thing about farm aid, is that I think it was misunderstood. You had a lot of good people trying to do something very good but we’re not really quite sure how to go about it. It had never been done before. Overall I think Farm aid was a good thing. There was some miss management there was some criticisms (some valid some not) but overall, I think it was a good thing. Certainly, many farmers thought so, because when Willie Nelson had his famous IRS troubles, it was the farmers who came in to bail him out. Every time someone tries to do something good there’s somebody there to throw stones at it. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode about selling muffin tops LOL.

[@DjPjrocReacts911]

@Minton Miller With the classic Sienfield reference, great stuff!

[@farmerbill6855]

I love Tanya Tucker. Farm aid I have huge beef with. They spend so much on talent there's not much left for charity. I've known many farmers with hardships and/or crushing debt, I've never, ever heard of farm aid helping any of them. It's a pretty big grift. It seemed like a pretty good idea but the money got in the way. Thank you for this. Best regards from Indiana.

[@ahwhite1398]

That's, sadly, the reality of pretty much every non-profit. The organization might not legally show a profit, but the full time employees, especially the ones who put it together, pay themselves a handsome salary while upping their social capital. Why donate to charity A, when you can _found_ charity B, make yourself the CEO, and get rich while hobnobbing with presidents and celebrities?

[@chazfu]

I believe it was Thomas Sowell who said, "every good cause, starts as a movement, turns into a business, and degenerates into a racket." Be very careful who you give your money to, if you really want it to make a difference.

[@tonydelapa1911]

Charity Navigator rates Farm Aid as 4.0 (Exceptional/Give With Confidence). It further claims that Farm Aid’s Program Expense Ratio is 89.4% (defined as: “This measure reflects the percent of its total expenses a charity spends on the programs and services it exists to deliver. “) Therefore, I would be shocked and stunned and deeply saddened if you are correct about spending so much on talent that they have little left to give.

[@farmerbill6855]

Just relating my real life experience. I'd like to think the government, the news or people like Snopes wouldn't lie to me too.

Totally different vibe, and totally different tempo, but as far as "state" music goes I am suddenly reminded of a lesser-known Merle Haggard masterpiece, "Colorado." That's one you need to queue up.

@@DjPjrocReacts911 You like "Asleep at the Wheel" you need to listen to Ray's two cd tribute to Bob Wells! So many country stars took part, Willie Nelson, George Strauit, Vince Gill, Ray Rodriguez, Lyle Lovett and on and on. Along with Willie Nelson and Ray Price's cd they never leave my disc changer. So many chassis country stars are being forgotten like Lefty Frizzell, Patsy Cline, Bill Anderson, Little Jimmy Dickens (ft. on many Brad Paisley videos) and that list goes on. You need to educate yourself if you have not on swing, Cab Callaway, Luis Prima, Andrews Sisters, again more name and this 72 year old using one finger needs to stop. One thing my stoke did not take is my love for music but sometimes words are harder but shit what all we can do but put one foot in front either, life goes on! I have couple videos I would be happy to send you, Asleep at the Wheel at Austin City Limits also a two cd set of Alison Kross and Union Station. Love watching you enjoy what I grew up with.
