As she ages, Tillis’s voice just gets richer and more soulful.

—American Songwriter

The daughter of legendary country hitmaker Mel Tillis, Pam Tillis was determined from a young age to make her own way in the music business as a singer and songwriter. After many false starts and much soul-searching, Tillis came to the attention of Arista Nashville and committed to making an honest country record. The resulting album, Put Yourself in My Place, established Tillis as a performer in her own right, yielded two number one singles (“Don’t Tell Me What to Do” and “Maybe It Was Memphis”), and was certified gold. Tillis followed with three platinum albums on Arista: Homeward Looking Angel in 1992, Sweetheart’s Dance in 1994, and a greatest hits compilation in 1997.

Across her career, Tillis has charted more than 30 singles and 10 studio albums—including her favorite, the critically acclaimed 2002 It’s All Relative: Tillis Sings Tillis, a tribute to her father—on the Billboard charts. Tillis has also been nominated for nine Academy of Country Music Awards, six Grammys (with two wins), and an American Music Award.
