Tanya Tucker's much talked about Where I'm Living album drops today (8/23). Produced by Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings, the project has gotten a lot of buzz. And it's not just for the music or the famous producers: there's also a lot of interest in the album cover, which sees Tanya rearing her horse.

Tanya told us about the cover shot, "When the record label saw these pictures that I took for my tequila bottle," she says, referring to her tequila brand Cosa Salvajue, "They loved it and put it on the album cover, so it's speaks me."

"It's totally me and it's me fulfilling a long time dream."

She adds, "It speaks volumes as far as 'Now, that's an outlaw on that horse rearing up' and that is me on that horse."
