Just for grins (since many of the readers of this blog are rather young) I’ve listed the original artist for each of the tracks on Tanya’s album:

I guess I’d be showing my age if I admitted I knew most of those?

Hello Folks. You received your answer. 7 long years for new Tucker music. We kindly refer to that as Tucker Time…… I do not mind the comparisons with Loveless. Both Tucker and Loveless are talented singers and I am so glad they found a record label that will record, release and promote their special gifts. I have been a fan of Tanya’s since 1972 when I saw her belting Delta Dawn on Hee Haw. Perhaps Saguaro Records should consider a duet album teaming Loveless and Tucker together. Sweet Harmonies indeed.

Hopefully this latest clarification from Saguaro clears up the confusion for good..and what do you think of this LATEST development, Leeann? Hope you’re as happy about it as I am. :)

And Blake, did you see this?

And thanks folks, for not blaming the messenger,…I reports it as I sees it, right from the source from SRR message boards. ;)

Wow, I’m surprised there’s so much confusion.

No problem Razor, they actually issued two contradictory clarifications, but the most recent was in the form of a correction.. at first they said it would be more actual covers of vintage Country classics as in Sleepless Nights, now they are saying it will be a follow up to Mountain Soul…,with a very Bluegrass sound. I like this latest announcement even better…ain’t it grand?!

More Patty Loveless news: The Saguaro Road website says that she completed recording her new album last week, and that it is going to be a bluegrass album in the vein of Mountain Soul :

OK folks, yet ANOTHER update from Saguaro, and this one sounds more authoritative with more detail etc.:

“Dear Saguaro Readers, I want to apologize for the confusion.

The new Patty record is a follow up to the 2001 Mountain Soul record.

From Saguaro A & R guy,

‘It is quite Bluegrass, but not so much that bluegrass purists would call it bluegrass, ie there is some steel guitar on one or two tracks as well as electric guitar here and there, but mostly it is acoustic guitars, bass and mandolins, banjos etc. No drums whatsover.

Songs vary from a few classics to songs written by various writers that have not been recorded or released before as well as a few songs Patty recorded earlier, but this time they are arranged in this totally different style…

Guest artists include the bluegrass musicians Ron and Del McCoury, steel guitarist Al Perkins, Vince Gill and Rebecca Lynn Howard on harmony vocals etc.”

This sounds incredible, it has all the ingredients to be one of Patty’s greatest records ever…It sounds like it’s her unique Mountain Blend taken to a whole new level. With this latest from Saguaro, I’m betting Patty has made her fans very very happy indeed. ;)

Steve,
Thanks for the update. While I agree with Blake that we’re kind of heavy on the covers albums right now and I would have preferred that she had recorded originals with a vintage sound, I’m still excited for what’s to come from Patty. I know it’ll be great.
