“I wish I had a trampoline to
jump on right now! This is just unbelievable,” says Tucker. “I couldn’t
have done this without the fans, Brandi and Shooter, and the whole Tanya Tucker
Team. What’s different now more than ever is the fans on social media and
streaming made this record an instant success. What just happened, I’d never,
ever fathom.”
The four nominations mark a
career high for the original country outlaw. Nominated for 10 GRAMMY Awards
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 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,” is produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter
Jennings and marks Tucker’s first for Fantasy Records and Sawyer & Garner
Management. The record is her first Top Ten debut and tenth Top 10 album.

“‘Girl Goin’ Nowhere’ is the song
that keeps on giving,” McBryde reflected. “I was blown away by our first GRAMMY
Nomination for Country Album of the Year last year. And now ‘Girl Goin’
Nowhere’ gets two nominations?! Can’t keep her down. That’s the message Jeremy
Bussey and I let off the leash. She’s a fighter. I’m so honored and proud to
see this song stay alive.”
“Girl Goin’ Nowhere” recounts the
story of an algebra teacher McBryde had in high school who told the Arkansas
native that her dream of becoming a songwriter in Nashville was stupid and that
she better have a good backup plan. The powerful ballad showcases McBryde’s
storytelling abilities, and as NPR noted, “It's a song that can be counted on
to hush even the rowdiest club crowd.” Last year, the title track from
McBryde’s major label debut album, GIRL GOING NOWHERE, earned a place on The
Fader’s Best 100 Songs of 2018 as well as NPR’s Best Songs of 2018.
