Tucker hailed from
East Texas. References in her songs led the researcher Max Haymes to speculate that she may have been based in
Greenville. at which she was again accompanied by Johnson and by the guitarist
Jesse Thomas. After this, nothing more is known of her life. She died in Dallas in early 1933, aged 27 at most, based on her age given in the 1910 and 1920 censuses, though her death certificate gave her birth year as 1907 and her age as 25. Music buffs can only affirm that Tucker sang in the same style as the Texas singers
Texas Alexander,
Victoria Spivey and
Texas Bill Day and that her lyrics refer to railroads that served East Texas and Dallas. All of her recordings have been issued by
Document Records (see below). She was not related to the singer
Sophie Tucker. ==Discography==
