4.0 out of 5 stars 1997's most overlooked gem!, May 31, 2000

This review is from: Complicated (Audio CD)

On Tanya Tucker's 30th album she guides us on an emotional rollercoaster. Perhaps a strange parallel to her own life. But by giving us this parallel, Tucker was able to craft a highly emotional album that allows the fans to relate it to their own life.

Complicated, released in conjunction with her book, Nickel Dreams, spawned the hit single, Little Things. Perhaps one of the most simplist love songs out there. But Tanya didn't just stick to ballads on this album, opening up with jazzy Ridin Out the Heartache to I Don't Believe That's How You Feel these songs make you stomp your feet. They have a New Orleans feel to them. A very different Tanya you might wonder? Love Thing sees Tanya on what she does best, singing about love, lost love and newfound love.

Complicated stayed true to its singers heart, Tanya expressed herself all over the map, but you know what, it worked. Fans loved the album but radio and records did not, perhaps she is a little too rough for the radio now. I would hate to believe that...she may be no Shania, but Shania is definitely no TANYA!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect CD, December 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Complicated (Audio CD)

It's a shame that Tanya's last album for Capital (before a label dispute) is one of her very best (especially after the mediocre "Fire To Fire" that immediately preceded it). This is strong material, played by excellent musicians, and has some of Tanya's best singing ever. The ballads are particularly effective, including the pretty "All I Have To Offer You Is Love", the touching "By the Way", and the moving "It Hurt's Like Love". Two faster numbers, "Complicated" and "You Don't Do It" show Tanya's feisty side. And unquestionably one of her best performances ever recorded is on the album's first cut (and highlight), "Ridin Out the Heartache" -- smokey, hurtin', and heartfelt. It just doesn't get any better than that! Strangely, one of the least effective songs on this disc was the first single, "Little Things" -- a nice, if bland, song that doesn't have the edge that her best stuff contains. But that's a small quibble for a great CD. Buy this one with no fear of disappointment.
