Rambln' Fever was recorded by Tanya as part of her album My Turn in 2009.  She sings covers of 12 Country music standards in the album.  
Allmusic 4.5/5 stars
Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album four and a half out of five stars. Erlewine critiqued Tucker's way of blending each song, sounding as tough as any guy as she saunters her way through "Crazy Arms" and "Lovesick Blues." Erlewine also said that, "Pete Anderson's dry, unadorned production gives this muscle and grit, perhaps the most sympathetic setting Tucker has had in decades, the triumph is all Tanya's, as she digs deep into these songs, finding new meaning within them and proving that a great covers album need not reinterpret the sound of a song in order to reinvent it."

Blake Boldt of Roughstock.com also reviewed the release, and praised the album, stating how Tucker was not just remaking Country music songs like other artists had previously done before, but instead renewing each of them. Boldt also gave positive comments to Tucker's voice, saying, "Now 50, Tucker's vocal stylings remain as provocative as her well-documented wild-child past; her instantly-recognizable drawl is one of country's greatest voices ever, and every knotty note is chock full of hearty twang."
