Pam Tillis - Every Time - CD

Pam Tillis has a talent for selecting great tunes, and when she applies her powerful voice and beating heart to them, the result can be amazing as well as countrychart topping.Every Time is no different, as strong a collection of tunes as she's ever recorded, a nice blend of new and traditional country. The record starts off with a bang with "I Said a Prayer" and never looks back. The title track is a great cartrip singalong, and "Lay the Heartache Down" is a confessional weeper that displays Tillis's emotive talent.Paula GhergiaReview[Tillis] has demonstrated an astute ear for clever, contagious country pop tunes.PeopleTime melds country, R&B, rockabilly, and pop without artifice.Entertainment WeeklyOn one level, first single "I Said a Prayer" is a perfect summertime hit, a bright, catchy number that sounds as much like the Bangles as any country record can. But there's little else onEvery Time that incorporates so much so simply. It's an album with pleasures that, for Tillis, all lie unusually close to the surface. Songs like "You Put the Lonely on Me" and "A Great Disguise" are smartly written, but they make their biggest impressions upon first hearing.USA Today[Every Time] contains not a single Tillis original, but does contain the related themes of heartbreak, sorrow and renewal. Her undersung but nonetheless searing interpretation of Satcher's rocker, "You Put the Lonely on Me," has the distinction of being a stronger single, the carefully controlled, rocking arrangement complimenting her aggressive vocal. The passion and vulnerability she so beautifully conveys on "Every Time," makes that number stand out, too.Country Music Magazine
