Tanya Tucker created a stir in 1972 with her debut album (and single of the same name), DELTA DAWN. A mere 13 years old at the time, Tucker seemed primed for a long, auspicious career in country music. She made good on that promise with her second and third albums, 1973's WHAT'S YOUR MAMA'S NAME and 1974's WOULD YOU LAY WITH ME (IN A FIELD OF STONE). The albums were reissued as a twofer in 1999 on Collectables Records.
Complete with the neo-countrypolitan production popular at the time, both albums boast excellent performances by Tucker. The two records yielded a few popular singles, but what truly impresses is the consistency of the songwriting throughout the collection (David Allan Coe and Kris Kristofferson are among the tunesmiths Tucker interprets). There is rarely a misstep, and the records play as what they are: stone cold country classics. In fact, the set pairs what are arguably Tucker's two finest releases, making it a good bargain--and a must-have for any true country fan.
