Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Return of Tanya Tucker” showing Nov. 4-10 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Trailblazing, hell-raising country music legend Tanya Tucker defied the standards of how a woman in country music was supposed to behave. Decades after Tanya slipped from the spotlight, rising Americana music star Brandi Carlile takes it upon herself to write an entire album for her hero based on Tanya’s extraordinary life, spurring the greatest comeback in country music history.
“The Return of Tanya Tucker” follows Tanya’s richly creative, utterly captivating, bumpy ride back to the top as Brandi encourages her to push past her fears to create a new sound and reach a new audience. The writing, the experimenting, and refining of this new music mixes with all that came before – using rare archival footage and photographs to delve into Tanya’s history, beginning in a single wide trailer in Seminole, Texas.
Taking stock of the past while remaining vitally alive in the present and keeping an eye on the future, “The Return of Tanya Tucker” is a rousing exploration of an unexpected friendship built on the joy of a perfectly timed creative collaboration.
“Whether you call it a relaunch, comeback, return or rebirth, it’s captured in a down-to-earth, memory-infused documentary that’s a gift – moving and thoroughly engaging.” – The Hollywood Reporter
