Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticThomas Rhett and Maren Morris were the top-billed attractions on the Stagecoach Festival’s opening day, Friday but when it came to heightened emotions, and pure enthusiasm per-square-inch, Tanya Tucker’s climactic set in the Palomino tent might have ruled the day at the desert gathering.The veteran of 50 years of country hitmaking seemed taken aback by the roar of the crowd, late in the set, and not just in a typical welcoming-the-roar way. “It’s hard for me to believe anybody would want to watch me,” she admitted, belying more than a hint of insecurity amid one of the brassier facades in the business.

Tucker and Peck were not newcomers to one another; they’d co-headlined a warmup show the previous night at Pappy & Harriet’s further out in the desert.Tucker did have another guest during her set, albeit via FaceTime.
The 63-year-old country legend had a video conference on-stage with Brandi Carlile, whose set was to follow hers in the Palomino tent, until she had to cancel Thursday due to a case of COVID.
