Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone) (1974) is the third album by Tanya Tucker. It was also the third of four albums with producer Billy Sherrill and Columbia Records. The title song, "Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)," was a #1 on the Billboard Country Singles charts and a #46 Pop hit. The theme and melody is suspiciously similar to the song "If I Needed You" by Townes Van Zandt. Another single "The Man That Turned My Mama On," rose to the #4 spot (and #86 Pop), while "I Believe the South Is Gonna Rise Again" was at #18. This album, like its predecessor "What's Your Mama's Name", also peaked at #4 in the Country Albums chart. The song was later covered by Johnny Cash on the album.
