What a joy!
Looks like I'm another one who got addicted. I have only just ordered this record, but I can't get way from the clips. I love the drive in this collection, and the fact that Pam's great voice does not get drowned by the instruments. For once, I just don't understand the negative editorial comment about this release.


No, They're Diamonds...
" No stopping Pam Tillis, whose just shown us with her last album, IT'S ALL RELATIVE, the tribute to father Mel, that this artist is not nearly ready to be written off. Immediately, we get a drop-dead gorgeous ballad, "Something Burning Out. Like the previous one, RHINESTONED is a superb country record with lots of heart and varied rhythms, styles and even genres. The duet with John Anderson is lots of fun, and they're great together. My favorite has shaken out to be "Down By The Water," a fast and catchy folk/rock song. Pam has succeeded again at telling great stories, and singing with a clearly engaged voice. We believe every word. In songs like "Train Without A Whistle," "Crazy By Myself" and "Bettin' Money On Our Love," we get vividly etched portraits of people and the singer herself. The playing on this album is just about perfect throughout. Other reviewers have given the details, but my conclusion is that Pam Tillis continues to be a valuable force in country music who doesn't need to be packaged or pitch-corrected. This woman can sing, but she's not a showoff. In another singer's hands, Pam's own "The Hard Way" might have been histrionic or maudlin. Instead, entirely due to Pam's relaxed phrasing and straightforward singing, this song is poignantly beautiful; Tillis has never sounded better, but she lets everyone shine, one sign of a seasoned artist at the top of her game, free to do whatever she wants to do, and welcoming everyone along for the ride. As a songwriter, Pam Tillis holds her own with the other writers whose songs she's chosen. Rhinestoned? No, these are polished gems.


back with heart
Pam is in full voice telling stories with her music. This is a shining acheivement on a wondrous career. . . worth a listen.


As Good As It Gets
She is a living legend and in my opinion one of the most important and talented female artists in country music. Pam Tillis is the real deal. Tillis doesn't make records in hopes of just being played on the radio, she makes records that mean something to her and to her fans. You will not be disappointed with the album. Nashville needs to open it's ears to this and not all the junk that is being played on country radio. This is one of Pam's best records ever! .
