Tamara Lewis sings beautiful music that is alluring and peaceful. I really enjoyed her well-crafted songs and can't wait to hear more.
TAMARA LEWIS is our March Issues' WOMAN ON THE RISE
Excerpts from the Review:
"This is just the type of story we like. Twenty-year career gal turns to music and beats the odds.
Listen Me Back is beautiful vocals with a meltdown (as if it needed a violin, Lewis’ voice IS a violin, a perfect blend). This is a touching song. Many of the cuts, like Just Because, have a great old western swing-blusey feel, good for slowwwww dancing. Loose Ends World seems timeless, though it’s tick-tock slow rhythm reminds us “time is a tide-pool in our dreams . . . surprised to find it’s in a straight line in this time-flies world.” He’s not you, sounds like a good old Patsy Cline heartacher, making you want to sit in a soda shop, feelin’ dreamy-eyed and lovesick. Other cuts like, This Good-Bye, whisper of a sadness we have all known.
Lewis is definitely a woman on the rise."
Tamara Lewis is our Featured Artist for the month of January 2007.
Excerpts:
"I can't believe how much I love this CD. I basically sat there during the first listen, trying to comprehend how beautiful this voice is. It is flawless, crystalline, and heavenly. Take that and match it with one of the purest genres of music--Americana--and you have an album that Patsy Cline would fall madly in love with and want to sing from start to finish."
"I just sat in silence when this thing was over. You don't just jump up and do laundry or make a phone call. You just sit and savor it. Tamara is an artist to watch; whoever is watching her right now, please get her back in the studio. I want more."
"Every once in a while a musician comes around who just absolutely captivates you. Tamara's writing and stage craft, including her ability to joke with her audience, is perfect in every way."
Excerpts from Tom Peterson's VICTORY REVIEW:
"Tamara Lewis is a sophisticated chanteuse with a fine, clear, and supple voice with just a touch of Everywoman world-weariness, perfect for the bruising songs she writes."
"Her CD is as smoothly professional as the great pop-ballad albums it emulates and should propel Tamara forward in the Adult Contemporary field. She's got it.
THINK PATSY CLINE'S LITTLE SISTER
"What a wonderful recording, especially for someone so new to performing and songwriting. Tamara's huge heart, with all it's creases and careworn marks, is right there where anyone can see it. But what really gets to me is her voice and the Patsy Cline lode that is mined with every note--plaintive but not forsaken, yearning but not giving up, nuh uh, no how. Can't wait to see what's next for this lovely singer.
