Allowing a filmmaker to doc that course of takes extra nerve than some individuals might muster.
Tanya Tucker has loads of nerve. She’s seen all of it, from hit data to tabloid headlines, in a profession that started on the age of 11. What makes her story compelling is that her expertise stays intact, a easy incontrovertible fact that impressed her number-one fan, Grammy-winning vocalist Brandi Carlile, to engineer a second act for Tanya’s dormant profession.
