Love Tanya’s distinctive vibrato - just like the Country Queens before her (Tammy, Dolly & Loretta), you always know the singer after the first note is sung. No one today can touch these classic singers - no one comes close
Born in 1958 she would have been only 17 in this video. Such a unique voice. She sounded so grown up for her age, maybe because she grew up so poor. I recommend to anyone her book, Nickel Dreams. Tanya Denise Tucker, one of a kind.
Ty, I will read it. Her interview with Dan rather on The Big Interview was really awesome. I loved it. For whatever she's been through, she was real,honest and genuine and I liked her.
I agree, the Jamestown ferry, what's your mamas name, oh what it did to me , you've got me to hold on to and yes even tear me apart...but blood red & goin down has a special place.
The fact that she was invited onto the Midnight Special says a great deal about how much people loved her from the beginning because it was always known for Rock and some Motown acts.
I personally am not a fan of country music, but I love this girl!! Always have ever since we were both 14! This song grabs you and pulls you in until you're scared to hear the next verse! My heart starts beating real fast!!! Lol!! Crazy great song!
Legendary performance Tonya was a superstar at this tender age. Her incredible control and stage presence are clearly visible. Tonya looks so beautiful , I just fall in love looking at her face in this video
Ive listened to this so many times. I noticed Tanya smiles as shes singing the last verse and chorus; she is vibing with the band! She sounds amazing and the band and backup singers made this a masterpiece live performance of one of Tanya's early classics!
I think they hold her back because of her rebel lifestyle she had led, which is none of their business. She isn't really wild now though. I hate how society judges people. Some on that list were more rebellious than she ever was.
Was 11 years old when she done this and really had no ideal what this song was about, now many years later, i know all to well what this song is about first hand 🥹
love this video, She sounds great here and on vinyl and on tape, Thanks Tanya for all the years. I have enjoyed her great voice as kid and now as an adult. Thanks for posting this, Its awesome because of the talent of Tanya. What confidence she showed, She hit this out of the park and over the bleachers.
Good Lord, in all these years I have never sing her sing this song live, what a treat, thanks for posting. Man, what talent, and I remember her sister LaCosta as well.
So, she was 15 years old when she did this show and the song when to #1 even after the industry tried to say she was too young to be singing such a thing. Well, I look at it as story telling. All songs if they are good are stories. It was perfect to have a 15 year old telling the story from a young ladies point of view. It was a great set up if you ask me. I think the industry was horribly jealous of this little girl coming in and singing better than most of them could.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING TANYA WAS ONLY A TEENAGER HERE SHE IS A REAL FORCE WHEN SHE STEPS TO THE MIKE SHE OWNS IT. PURE RAW TALENT GLAD TO SEE SHE IS STILL MAKING MUSIC.
This song is a classic country song about a married woman that got caught cheating on her husband. In those days of old in the 1960's it was a sin to be seen with another man if you were a woman and already married.
Tanya Tucker could do something I loved , like Tammy Wynette , she could crack her voice , yodlers can do that also. To me that put ones who could do it ahead of the race .
See that's real singers real music! Today they can take someone off the streets and with no talent at all most of the time it's the looks of the person they take and take the worst singer and turn them into so call singer with all the electronics turn a none voice into something! And those of the 40 50 60 70 they would travel on busses that sometimes didn't have heat are air and even breaker down! ❤I am 58 and I thank God I was born in the 60s and with my mother and Father didn't leave me a mansion but the richest of the real country gospel blues and Elvis Presley ❤❤
I love to hear Tanya Tucker sing, but I don't care for this song. It reminds me of my daddy being murdered in 79. Bless his heart. He was working that day and some man shot him in the back and it shattered his heart. I was only 10 years old. It turned my world upside down. I love and miss him so much. We never found out what really happened. The man that killed him unfortunately didn't go to prison right away. Because there wasn't enough evidence to prove the man killed my daddy ( even though my daddy's blood was all in that man's truck and all over his clothes ). Two years later that man killed two women also. Thier lives could have been spared.Then the murderer finally went to prison for life. We live in Ga. My daddy was a mechanic. I think about the saw dust on the floor of his shop. I don't know if he killed him in his shop or not, because the murderer dumped my daddy's body out at Stone Mountain Airport. 😢
Legendary is siinging 'Quiver style .that i'd only seen Stevie Nicks do...OMG....Simoly Awesome...basically a female version of a Waylon Jenning type song. or Lorreta, or Tammy. Very Griity to the max type of song. Dudes can sing this song too...Karoake style..too...just make the She to He gender wording swap.
All his songs are my favorites, this is in the top ten makes me cry every time I listen, reminds me of my daughter.🎵🎶🎵❤️
Tanya deserves so much more credit than she gets
Love Tanya’s distinctive vibrato - just like the Country Queens before her (Tammy, Dolly & Loretta), you always know the singer after the first note is sung. No one today can touch these classic singers - no one comes close
Tammy, Dolly, Loretta and Tanya are the best. No one comes close in my mind. So sad we have already lost Tammy.
Very true
Natural beauty
Rikki, Absolutely !!! To me this is the best thing she has ever done !!
@@amberlilly4101 yes - you're right!
No electronics to help her like today just natural talent all alone with a microphone. Awesome song.
18winsagin exactly...and more suckable, than anything now
@@curtisc6768 ,. , , , ,, Wa
True for when she made the recording, but in this video, she has a lot of help. She's clearly lip-synching :-)
@@michaeljones104 I’m not thinkin so
@@jamesrossjr.3209 Yes, Michael, same here. My favorite is "blood red and going down."
Born in 1958 she would have been only 17 in this video. Such a unique voice. She sounded so grown up for her age, maybe because she grew up so poor. I recommend to anyone her book, Nickel Dreams. Tanya Denise Tucker, one of a kind.
That's a very sad book.
Ty, I will read it. Her interview with Dan rather on The Big Interview was really awesome. I loved it. For whatever she's been through, she was real,honest and genuine and I liked her.
I didn't know this. I'll have to read it.
Such a fantastic voice, My favorite female singer of all time..
@Markl 7628 Her best song is' Don't go out' in my opinion. And I agree with you she has a fantastic voice.
My favorite song by Tanya and that's saying a lot because she's done countless fantastic songs.
I agree, the Jamestown ferry, what's your mamas name, oh what it did to me , you've got me to hold on to and yes even tear me apart...but blood red & goin down has a special place.
Agree :)
@@parma71 I agree, totally !!
The fact that she was invited onto the Midnight Special says a great deal about how much people loved her from the beginning because it was always known for Rock and some Motown acts.
So many of the great country artists sound a million times better live, and this gal is among them.
One of the greatest country songs ever recorded. Certainly makes my top 10
I grew up listening to these songs and now my parents are dead and my brother good music from days gone by
my sister traveled and sang with Tanya. She came to our home many times.
have you any memories to share.................
Frickin awesome
You’re so lucky! I’ve only seen her once, live. I’ve always been big fan!
Just amazing! How cute and serious she was back then...
I personally am not a fan of country music, but I love this girl!! Always have ever since we were both 14! This song grabs you and pulls you in until you're scared to hear the next verse! My heart starts beating real fast!!! Lol!! Crazy great song!
Legendary performance Tonya was a superstar at this tender age. Her incredible control and stage presence are clearly visible. Tonya looks so beautiful , I just fall in love looking at her face in this video
The confidence and guts are astonishing at that age.
jetclntn, yes she just has a presence, and amazing how she can do this, and so natural, like she was born to do this. I watch this almost daily.
she has one of the most amazing voices in music. I was lucky enough to she her perform . And she was incredible. I would like to see her again.
been singing this song in my head now for two weeks
Ive listened to this so many times. I noticed Tanya smiles as shes singing the last verse and chorus; she is vibing with the band! She sounds amazing and the band and backup singers made this a masterpiece live performance of one of Tanya's early classics!
In my opinion, this was her VERY BEST !! Loved it, what a gal !!
There's no doubt who is singing when you hear Tanya's voice. Another "snubbed" star who isn't in the country music hall of fame.
There's something wrong with that Hall of Fame . I don't think Waylon Jennings is on the list either.
I think they hold her back because of her rebel lifestyle she had led, which is none of their business. She isn't really wild now though. I hate how society judges people. Some on that list were more rebellious than she ever was.
one of a kind voice , great control and she really sells the song
Awesome 👌 singer !❤
Love Tanya Tucker!
She's great!!!
❤ she is the best of all time truly a super star I grew up with her songs love you Tanya always thank you
Absolutely Amazing ! This Is Country Music at it's greatest !!!
Always love listening to her sing. ❤️
Best country singer ever. Period
My exact words.
She is great and I love her !!!
Well Composed , for someone so young !!!!
Love that song 🎵
She has been an incredible talent since day 1
Was 11 years old when she done this and really had no ideal what this song was about, now many years later, i know all to well what this song is about first hand 🥹
love this video, She sounds great here and on vinyl and on tape, Thanks Tanya for all the years. I have enjoyed her great voice as kid and now as an adult.

I was totally in love with Tanya in the 1970s. Great video! Thanks for posting.
TANYA TUCKER AWESOME
"daddy left them both soaking up the sawdust on the floor" is the best part of the song.
True. Their bloody bodies are all that is left and two shattered people who are doomed to a nightmare, too.
outstanding performance
Look and listen. Double pleasure.
this is an awesome performance, this has always been my fav Tanya song. what a great story song.
She sounds like an angel when she sings
Seriously, Grew up on this record, I luv her!
So, she was 15 years old when she did this show and the song when to #1 even after the industry tried to say she was too young to be singing such a thing. Well, I look at it as story telling.

Great ! Was and is a TRUE COUNTRY artist. Have surely missed her. Still one of the greats !
She's always been so beautiful! I like this song! Thanks for posting!!
My favorite Tanya song!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING TANYA WAS ONLY A TEENAGER HERE SHE IS A REAL FORCE WHEN SHE STEPS TO THE MIKE SHE OWNS IT. PURE RAW TALENT GLAD TO SEE SHE IS STILL MAKING MUSIC.
wonderfull song and great job the best dont understand anyone who could dislike this voice and song wow
I absolutely love this song
This song is a classic country song about a married woman that got caught cheating on her husband. In those days of old in the 1960's it was a sin to be seen with another man if you were a woman and already married.
Like Delilah, she was blood red and going down. The eerie part is Tanya takes you on that fateful, terrifying journey with them.
Wow!
This is the best song
one of her very best
I was just 13 years old when she sang that song.
HUGE FAN
I love this video!
Fantastic !
I still have her first record
Seen you twice! Once in Hayward Wisconsin and Minnesota
Awesome show
Well that's a souther gothic little number...:-), Happy Halloween.
Met her Ohio State Fair with Kenny Rogers and the 1st addition
shes great
Her best tune😎👍
💙💙💙
Mmmmm
Tanya Tucker could do something I loved , like Tammy Wynette , she could crack her voice , yodlers can do that also. To me that put ones who could do it ahead of the race .
Voice.
Wow.
It is SCARY how believable she sounds at 13! I would hate to be the cheating mother in this song!! OR the lover for that matter!
See that's real singers real music! Today they can take someone off the streets and with no talent at all most of the time it's the looks of the person they take and take the worst singer and turn them into so call singer with all the electronics turn a none voice into something!

Me too
Man, there's nothing like a heartwarming good Christian family values song about daddy murdering mommy in a bar while his daughter watches. Praise be!
Well, since Christianity has nothing to with this, and God isn't mentioned, do you suppose it could be an atheist song?
LIKE THE SONG AND I HEARD IT CRYSTAL CLEAR ON OTHER SITES! PLEAS CHECK IT!
At least she told the truth about women, which is wo - to man😂
How come she no longer has that vibrating voice?
I love to hear Tanya Tucker sing, but I don't care for this song. It reminds me of my daddy being murdered in 79. Bless his heart.

No one has has done this song on the voice. At least like she does
My family invented karaoke
She was a hottie!!
its kind of odd world, alot of her songs were great, but not really concert type songs, so this setting seams awkward...
Tanya is singing good but I don't know what song the band was playing.
Going thru a divorce now. Thinking the same thing this song is sayin

What a terrifying stage! Looks like a trap
Cuter than a bunny rabbit
Sounds like shes sitting on a washing machine!

Cute kid, but sounds just awful.
