​Tami Neilson (from the album Chickaboom! available on Outside Music)
The spirit comes alive when Tami Neilson shares her personal beliefs, giving a shout out to the trinity that she bows down to ‘Mahalia, Rosetta, and Mavis’ in “Sister Mavis”….can I get a hallelujah! The spiritual testification can be found on the recent release from Tami Neilson, Chickaboom!, not only honoring the work of the mighty Ms. Staples but proving that Tami was raised on the right path. Chickaboom! is a collection of two and three-minute tunes that sizzle, moving from heartfelt Country ballads echoing a long gone era  with “Sleep” as Tami Neilson trots across the album’s landscape on the Country and Western breeze of “Any Fool with a Heart” and she flags a ride to make an exit in “Hey, Bus Driver”.
Good things come in small packages, and for Tami Neilson that was the model she carried as a goal into the studio to record Chickaboom!, the New Zealand-based singer standing proudly behind her decision, ‘I wanted to write an album of punchy little songs, popping firecrackers that, when stripped back to nothing but a guitar, percussion and two voices, would still go boom’. The vocal power of Tami Neilson drives Chickaboom!, the music a percussive rattle underneath Tami in “16 Miles of Chain” as she sinks deep into a pool of sultry Soul with “You Were Mine”, raises a ruckus with the rockabilly of “Tell Me That You Love Me”, and sends a lover packing in “Call Your Mama”. Tami Neilson grew up touring the United States with her mom, dad, and two brothers as part of The Nielson Family Band before falling in love with a New Zealander and moving to the bottom of the world. Supported by a choir of handclaps and a rugged rhythm, Tami Neilson puts her young dreams into “Ten Tonne Truck” as she steers Chickaboom! with every hair of her beehive in place and each note guided by heart and soul.
