Tanya Tucker - Strong Enough To Bend (1988)

Strong Enough to Bend is a 1988 album by Tanya Tucker. There were three singles that made the Billboard Top Ten Country singles charts: "Strong Enough to Bend" at #1, "Highway Robbery" at #2, and "Call on Me" at #4. Another single, "Daddy and Home," rose to #27, while the album itself peaked at #9 on the Country Albums chart. This album is typical of her classic period.
I agree with Tanya's assessment of Daddy and home - it is an outstanding cover of the old Jimmie Rodgers classic. The title track is particularly interesting, as it was the first significant songwriting success for Beth Neilson Chapman, who has since become both prolific and successful as a songwriter and has also made some impact with her own recordings.
Apart from the hits, which are available on any number of compilations, You're not alone, As long as I'm dreaming, Lonesome town, Lonely at the right time, Playing for keeps and Back on my feet are all excellent songs, most of them being ballads.
This is an essential album for Tanya's fans but if you haven't got any of her music, it's a great place to start.
