As one might expect, there were lots of great country records to be found in North and South Dakota. I picked this one up for $2 at an antique mall in downtown Bismarck. There's not much info about singer Faye Tucker on the web (guess she didn't win the sweepstakes), but if you like her sound, you can get a copy of this 1968 LP here. These notes are from the back of the record:
When a country gal is broken hearted she lets
you know it. Faye Tucker is the latest entry in the
Nashville sweepstakes for top girl country singer.
With a great feeling for the blues, Faye sings her
heart out as she empties her soul in these great
country blues ballads. Some are old, some are
new, none are borrowed—all are blue.

Faye Tucker also recorded half of a Kitty Wells/Patsy Cline tribute album in 1963 with a then-17-year old Dolly Parton (with Tucker contributing a number of Patsy covers and Dolly doing half a dozen Kitty songs). Google Hits Made Famous by Country Queens by Dolly and Faye.
ReplyDeleteWould it be possiable to put up a link where this can be downloaded?
ReplyDeleteI would greatly appreciate it.
It seems that sometimes my Divshare links go dead after awhile. Sorry about that. I've re-uploaded the two Faye Tucker songs, so they should be working again now.
ReplyDeleteFaye Tucker is now Faye Tucker Smith, Faye is my Mother in Law and lives in the Florida Panhandle near her children and Grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteShe's been entertaining the locals for years at church and a few appearances at local events.
