Lisa Dames is the most exciting female artist to come out of Nashville for many, many months and her debut album - "No One Like Me" - is one of the best we've heard this year. Ever since a very astute man in Nashville sent us her single, "I'd Leave Me", I knew the album would be a joy. It has exceeded all our expectations.
That man has to be one of Nashville's top talent spotters. (Sorry Chuck, but it should be on the record somewhere!) So far, we've heard three acts from his roster, and I find it unbelievable that none has been signed to a major label. Lisa Dames is the cream of that crop.
It was producer David Grow who spotted Dames' talent and his expert touch is everywhere on this album.
But - as David and Chuck would both tell you - the star of the CD is Dames' and her incredible ability to interpret lyrics, give them depth and feeling. There isn't a weak track here and I don't have a favorite. They are all superb in their own way.
The moment Larry Franklin's fiddle kicks in to open "I'd Leave Me", I can't help it: I just grin. It's wonderful. The song was written by four of Nashville's finest - Troy Verges, Brett James, Angelo and Hillary Lindsey and the lyrics are superb. Dames gives the vocals everything she has brilliantly. Grow adds fiddle, accordion, mandolin in perfect measure and then, makes the track complete with one of the finest harmony vocals we've heard in years. That this song hasn't hit the top ten yet is one of life's huge mysteries. It has everything to make it right to the top.
"Stubborn" is another top ten hit waiting to happen. Dames' vocals are at their very best here. The crack she puts in her voice at just the right lines, the tone changes. Absolutely brilliant. It that ability to change tone at the perfect moment which makes Dames stand out as a major telent. Too many singers can do fast and furious but struggle with deep and emotional, or vice versa. Not Dames. She's not afraid to quiet down so that the words are only just audible, or open out to give a lyric feeling. She can do it not just song by song, but line by line. That's not something you can learn to do: it's a God given talent.
She puts the skill to great use on"Not A Day Goes By", a deeply emotional song written by Kristy Jackson. It shows up at it's best in the bridge to the instrumental where Dames portrays sadness, then anger, then despair, and all in just three short lines.
She does the same on "(Friend) I'd Lie To You", a song which includes Tammy Cochran among the writers' credits.
"Love Tornado" is two minutes ten seconds of pure high speed Country music. David, I LOVE the "three part harmony". That's producing at it's best. Co written by Burton Collins and Megan Mullins, it's superb, and Franklin's fiddle is a highlight again.
"Good Time Lookin'" is great honky-tonk Country and way too Country for so-called "Country radio". The lyrics by Jill King and Del Gray are feisty and fun.
"Just Another Day" is a powerful story song and the chorus is a tour de force - showing how disaster can strike an individual, yet the rest of the world carries on as if nothing has happened.
The fiddles hack-sawing across the intro on "Your Love" grab your attention and they left me hoping Grow would include them again somewhere before the song ended. (Damn you, David, you didn't!!)
Mary Lyon Schenk's "Way Down Here" is a lonely heart's plea for a cowboy. That sounds so corny, it's appalling. But the lyrics are superb, and Dames gives it just the right amount of pathos to have it work.
"How Close You Came" gives Dames a chance to show a harsher edge to her performance. There's a rocky edge to the music, and Dames matches it perfectly with snappy, cutting vocals.
What struck us about the album - beside Dames' vocals, Grow's production, Larry Franklin's fiddle - was the quality of the material. Take "Kinda Fun (Gettin' Over You)". The tune's fairly standard Country fair, but the lyrics are brilliant.
"Takin' the Wheel" is deeper than most of the tracks on the album - you can read it as a simple road song, or as a review of the singer's life.
I've left the title track to last, just as producer David Grow has on the CD. This is an extremely personal song written by Dames and Grow. It's actually Dames own story and it is simply beautiful. Lisa. It is YOU and you can make those magazine covers. Don't stop doing what you're doing, because you have good people around you, huge talent - everything you need to make your dream come true.
Coquet-Shack's view: Go out and buy it. Get onto your local radio station and demand they play "I'd Leave Me". You won't regret it!!
