Artist:Tammy Cochran
Song:Angels in Waiting
Album:Tammy Cochran
Singer songwriter Tammy Cochran scored a top ten country hit with the 2001 single Angels in Waiting. It turned out to be her biggest hit. She does not appear to be in the music business anymore. She was born Jan. 30, 1972 in Austinburg, OH. This is a very small town in the northeast part of Ohio. She grew up singing in church and led her own band as a teen. After graduating high school, she trained to be a secretary. In 1991, Tammy moved with her parents to Nashville. After five years of frustration, Tammy got married in 1996 with plans to retire and start a family. But the marriage didn't last. She returned to performing in 1998. After one of her shows, she was introduced to Warner-Chappell staff songwriter Shane Decker. He got her a job at Warner-Chappell and agreed to help her record demos. When record labels came calling, Tammy signed with Epic. Her 2001 debut album Tammy Cochran was produced by Sony Nashville executive vice president Blake Chancey. He won Grammys for producing The Dixie Chicks. Angels in Waiting was the third single and it reached #9 on the Country Singles chart. It was one of two songs on the album that Tammy wrote. She wrote it with veteran songwriters Stewart Harris and Jim McBride. She dedicated it to her two brothers who both died from cystic fibrosis. I wouldn't normally recommend that Tammy introduce the video but I actually think it helped when VJs played it. Her 2003 album Life Happened didn't do as well. It looks like Chancey left Sony during production. And that change in management hurt Tammy and she ended up leaving Epic. Since then Tammy released two albums on small labels, most recently in 2009. I think she quit the music business. Here's the video for Angels in Waiting by Tammy Cochran.
