Tanya Tucker was a trailblazer and a hellraiser in the world of country music, and she violated the rules of how a woman in country music was meant to behave. Brandi Carlile, a rising artist in the Americana music scene, decides to write a complete album for her hero, Tanya, based on Tanya’s incredible life. As a result, Tanya stages the most successful comeback in the history of country music. Tanya is encouraged by Brandi to push past her concerns in order to develop a new sound and reach a new audience in THE RETURN OF TANYA TUCKER. The film follows Tanya as she embarks on a rough voyage back to the top of the music industry that is both wildly inventive and totally compelling. The composing, the testing, and the refining of this new music combine with all that came before it — using rare archive footage and images to delve into Tanya’s background, beginning in a single wide trailer in Seminole, Texas. This new music blends with everything that came before it. THE RETURN OF TANYA TUCKER is an exhilarating investigation of an improbable friendship that was founded on the delight of precisely timed creative cooperation. It takes stock of the past while remaining fully alive in the present and keeping an eye on the future.
