Tanya Tucker kicked off CMA Fest this year with an hour-long autograph signing…. A seasoned pro, Tanya says CMA Fest is a great place to reconnect with her fans…

When Tucker sat down for her hour-long signing session, she had plenty of interesting moments. She signed a fishing bobber and an electric fan. “Both firsts,” she said

Tucker even gave one woman a gold-colored, flower-shaped ring she was wearing after the woman remarked how pretty it was. “Everyone has been complimenting me on it, so now they can compliment you,” Tucker told her.

Even though CMA Fest is for the fans, Tanya says even she wouldn’t mind an autograph from some of her favorites…

When one woman asked her whose autograph she would most like to have, Tucker replied: “Kevin Costner — on my country rear end.”

Tanya’s first cd in nearly 7 years, My Turn, comes out on June 30th…Go getcha a copy.
