A native of New Mexico Tawnya recognized early on the true brilliance of the old country masters....... from "Your Cheating Heart" to "He Stopped Loving Her Today" and numerous other classics..... after moving to Nashville she also began to understand the common day "commercial" country music..... not wanting to abandon her country values, she found a way to seamlessly blend the new "commercial" country, with the "classic" country she grew up on. "Standing in the Rain" is a perfect example of that. "Standing in the Rain" is the highly anticipated sophomore follow-up album to her critically acclaimed first album, "Carnival" .
