Her latest album, "Dara Starr Tucker", is Ms Tucker's seventh
studio album, in addition she has released a live album.
The album includes several covers including "Annie's Song"
(John Denver), "Everything I Wanted" (Billie Eilish), "Can We Pretend"
(Bill Withers), the Weill & Anderson standard "September Song", "Try
To Remember" (Tom Jones) and a traditional gospel song "A Closer Walk
With Thee" along with the remaining six original songs.
Dara was born in Oklahoma into a religious and musical family. Her
parents were minister and gospel recording artist Doyle Tucker and
singer Lydna Tucker, both now deceased in 2014 and Dara chronicled their
loss on her 2017 album "Oklahoma Rain".
She began song writing in 2003 whilst living in Switzerland and moved
to Nashville in 2004 to pursue a career in music, releasing her first
album in 2009.
Mr Soulsorts highlighted three tracks for us "Scars", "If You Asked Me" and "Can We Pretend" (Bill Withers) (you may remember the song was also covered last year by the UK's Ciyo Brown as the title track of his seventh album). In addition we would also include "Falling".
Roger also relayed that Dara contacted him during lock down asking if he
could restore an album cover (for those that don't know, Roger is a graphic
designer by profession and does artwork for many artists/labels as a side
hustle) for a rare album Joy "I Feel The Spirit" (recorded by her family and originally released in 1979) so that it
could be reissued it digitally.
