Pam Tillis

BIOGRAPHy

At the dawn of the 1990s, a dynamic group of female writer-performers emerged to transform the country music landscape. None of them reached further artistically, sang with more soul or grasped a wider variety of material than Pam Tillis. Her first Arista album debuted in 1990, entitled Put Yourself In My Place and resulted in her first #1 hit, “Don’t Tell Me What To Do.” The song has become an anthem of sorts for Pam. 1991 was a banner year for Pam Tillis, and her peers acknowledged her by naming her the CMA Horizon Award recipient. Several of her albums have certified either gold or platinum. Suffice to say, the Arista tenure was highly prolific and wildly successful, producing six #1 hits, 14 Top 5’s and numerous Top 20’s – in addition to two back-to-back platinum albums. Pam Tillis has also toured with the best and has always found time to write during these busy years. She has written many hits, including “Mi Vida Loca,” “It’s Lonely Out There,” “In Between Dances” and “Spilled Perfume.” She released the album Dos Divas in 2013. Pam Tillis continues to tour the country.
