Tucker is "Ready As I'll Never Be"
The track, written by Tucker and Brandi Carlile, serves as the end-title of the new documentary "The Return of Tanya Tucker - Featuring Brandi Carlile" (Sony Pictures Classics), which opens today in New York and Los Angeles.
Produced by Carlile and Shooter Jennings and mixed by Trina Shoemaker, "Ready As I'll Never Be," is a reflection of gratitude and regret with Tucker (vocals), Carlile (piano, background vocal) and her backing band of Phil Hanseroth (bass, background vocal), Tim Hanseroth (background vocal), John Schreffler, Jr. (pedal steel), and Matt Chamberlain (drums, percussion) helping out.
Nominated earlier this week for a Critics Choice Documentary Award for Best Music Documentary, "The Return of Tanya Tucker - Featuring Brandi Carlile" is about the exploration of an unexpected friendship.
Opening nation-wide on Nov. 4, the feature-length film, directed by Kathlyn Horan, follows Tucker's bumpy ride back to the top as Carlile encourages her to push past her fears to create a new sound and reach a new audience. The writing, the experimenting, and refining of this new music mixes with all that came before – using rare archival footage and photographs to delve into Tucker's history, beginning in a single wide trailer in Seminole, Texas.
