pam tillis looking for a feeling

​Pam Tillis (from the album Looking for a Feeling available on Stellar Cat Records)
The support that Pam Tillis offered on her slate of hits was subtle, the songs themselves taking a stand, portraying women owning their mistakes (“Cleopatra, Queen of Denial”), welcoming seduction with open arms (“Maybe It Was Memphis”), and taking charge of their lives (“Let That Pony Run”). The singer let the song speak, her role as narrator championing the accomplishments of her gender as an observer. On her recent release, Looking for a Feeling, Pam Tillis sings to the face in her mirror, sharing opinions on her own life as she puts judgments down on life choices on the title track. Smoldering melodies curl like smoke underneath “Burning Star” as a Pop sheen polishes the payback tale in “Karma”, Pam Tillis whispering a wish for “Better Friends” and sharing the tale of a young man with stars in his eyes dancing with “Lady Music”.
 
A fixture on Country Pop charts, Pam Tillis began to back her songs with Roots-flavored influences after moving to East Nashville in 2016. The styles shuffle on Looking for a Feeling, Pam Tillis feeling that ‘stylistically, there’s so much here that’s always been a part of me. It’s a story I haven’t told on any of my records so far. I wanted work that’s as close to true and unselfconscious as possible, to provide access to my heart’. The smell of sulfur mixes burning tires hitting the road for the rumble beneath “Demolition Angel”, the scent of sawdust trailing the honky tonk sway of “Dark Turn of Mind”. The daughter of Country star Mel Tillis, a younger Pam met many idols, tributing a special childhood memory with “Dolly 1969”, sharing that ‘I met Dolly as a little girl, and you could see that drive; the legends I grew up around taught me that it takes nothing less than a fire to make it in this business. Even if that fire causes a little collateral damage along the way, you know nothing’s going to stop that burning to create music’. Quiet notes hum in harmony with Pam Tillis as she toasts memories in “Last Summer’s Wine”, feeling the cut to be ‘the distant cousin of ‘Maybe It Was Memphis.’ Older, wiser, wine and wistfulness’.
