are as ready as they’ll ever be to be considered for film awards, as a song they co-wrote for a documentary they both starred in this year is in the mix of current contenders. That song, “Ready as I’ll Never Be,” a very personalized ballad about watching the next generation up pass on, is a heart-tugger, and should be under consideration if voters get a chance to hear it — which Tucker admits she very much hopes they will.. “I just want the opportunity to be heard.
Carlile tells the full origin story of how the tune came about, and how it was her job to translate one of Tucker’s trademark funny but meaningful sayings into something more stoic for the studio. “The night Billy Joe Shaver died, I was in Nashville, and I went to go meet up with Tanya and Leslie Jordan for dinner. I met Tanya out on the street as she got out of her car and I put my arm around her and said, ‘I’m so sorry about Billy Joe,’ because shemuch — like, they were soulmates.
“And how, as luck would have it, she’s gonna be here longer than those guys, because she was only 13. And so she’s having to relive this over and over and over again. And she’s really got nothing but spiritual gratitude for it, because she is ready to accept the consequence of their mentorship, which will be watching ‘em go, or as she puts it, get their wings.”
Her second album with Carlile and Shooter Jennings in the producers’ seats is due on Fantasy next summer, with the title “Sweet Western Sounds.”
Still hoping one of them will write a song about mothers of fallen heroes.
