The four nominations lead all 2020 Country GRAMMY nominees and mark a career high for Tucker. Nominated for 10 Grammys over her illustrious five-decade career, Tucker landed her first nomination with “Delta Dawn” in 1972 for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Female. The 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards will take place on January 26, 2020 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
The critically acclaimed album, which The New Yorker declares, “captures one of America’s great vocalists at her peak,” and Rolling Stone calls “a stunning exuberant album that ranks among the year’s best,” marks Tucker’s first for Fantasy Records and Sawyer & Garner Management. The record is her first Top 10 debut and 10th Top 10 album.
