This year, the theme of the benefit was “Under the Influence.” After singing one of their own songs, each artist would then sing a cover to pay tribute to an artist who influenced them as a musician.
When it came for Tanya Tucker’s set, she performed more than one song that influenced her career. She performed George Jones’ “The Grand Tour,” Loretta Lynn’s “Blue Kentucky Girl,” Merle Haggard’s “Workin’ Man Blues,” and Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man.”
“I’ve had a lot of heroes in my day,” Tucker said introducing her performance. “So many it might take up the whole show. But I picked four of my very favorites.”
She dove right in to the opening lyrics of “The Grand Tour” and was immediately garnered with cheers and applause from the audience, seemingly approving her choice of influence.
