Tear Me Apart is the 10th album by Tanya Tucker released on October 29. 1979. Produced by British rocker Mike Chapman, who along with longtime songwriting partner Nicky Chinn, wrote two of its songs, it continues the more rock-based sound begun on the preceding TNT, but even more so. The album rose to the No. 33 position on the Billboard Country Albums chart, although there were no charting singles for the first time in Tucker's career.
