Texas 02:17
TEXAS (T. Neilson) I’ve got a touch that lingers on my fingers I’ve got a kiss for lips so sweet and true I’ve got a love, a love the size of Texas Beating in my heart for only you I wanna hold you honey baby Wanna rock you through the night I wanna squeeze you honey baby Won’t you let me squeeze you tight I’ve got a touch that lingers on my fingers I’ve got a kiss for lips so sweet and true I’ve got a love, a love the size of Texas Beating in my heart for only you I wanna kiss you honey baby Won’t you let me have a taste I’ve got about a million kisses They would be a shame to waste

Cry Over You 03:32
CRY OVER YOU T. Neilson Won, you won me over You took my heart One wasn’t enough Too, too many heartaches Too many nights I’ve cried alone And when we count up all the days, the nights, the love, the fights It seems it don’t add up to equal much but all the tears I cry over you Cry over you Three, three’s one to many Two hearts are plenty Now I’m left with none For, for you still have mine Give back my heart Give back my love
5.
You Lie 03:34
YOU LIE T. Neilson There’s no lipstick on your collar You haven’t spent a dollar on roses or fancy hotel rooms You’re smart enough to hide it But fool enough to keep denying the truth I can see your fingers shaking with each promise that you’re breaking, I know that instead of packing up your things to go You lie Here beside me when you get home in the cold dead of night You lie In our bed each dawn’s early light You lie In her arms, like a thief, stealing my precious time And I’m tired of waking up to the place where you lie This town is full of whispers About seeing you round with her Seems you’re finally taking out the trash You shake your head, you roll your eyes Say that it’s all in my mind, relax But after all these years together honey no one knows you better than me And instead of being man enough to leave You lie Here beside me when you get home in the cold dead of night You lie In our bed each dawn’s early light You lie In her arms, like a thief, stealing my precious time So you’ll find I’ll be gone in the morning while you lie

Dynamite 02:52
DYNAMITE T. Neilson/ D. Davidson She’s a skull and cross bone danger sign Eye of the hurricane coming alive Rosehips and blackberry lips Brother you ain’t gonna survive She’s gonna knock you flat, she’s gonna hiss and pop She’ll stick you in the middle when the other pin drops Everything goes quiet but what’s that sound A sizzling fuse next to you on the ground Boom boom she’s dynamite Heartbreakin, earth-shakin, run for your life Boom boom, watch her ignite You’d better run for cover she’s dynamite I told you once, now I’ll tell you twice Playing with the cat ain’t no business for mice Little boy you should take my advice She’ll blow you sky high She’s gonna strike a match, she’s gonna light your fire Knock you to your knees, fill you up with desire Sirens will scream, flash red and blue But they ain’t gonna find a trace of you
7.
Woo Hoo 01:52
WOO HOO T. Neilson My, my, my sweet Mama warned me ‘bout ya But I just can’t live without ya now Oh, man, you hit me like a Western, shootin’ bang bang, pow pow Sparks flew, I knew that I wanted you, didn’t matter what it took Can’t eat, can’t sleep, now I’m in neck deep All because you gave me that look Woo Hoo Baby You drive me a little bit crazy Bye bye, so long, lonely days are long gone Baby since you made me go Woo Hoo My,my, my heart can’t take it now Oh for goodness sake it’s gonna blow Seeing stars, kissing in your Dad’s car Now it’s twelve o’clock, we gotta go Count the days until we have our next date Baby I’m just killing time Can’t eat, can’t sleep, yeah I’m in neck deep Til the day that I can make you mine
8.
RUNNING TO YOU T. Neilson/ D. Davidson I never knew how empty How alone, how cold, how slow Ticket on a one-track railroad to a solo seat below If you need a place to lay your head, some gentle company I’ll save a seat beside me You can come running to me, girl You can come running to me I can build a shelter to keep you from the cold And I can shoot the wolf at night, watch you as you grow Home fires are a burning, our babies on your knee Whispered kisses on your mouth You can come running to me, boy You can come running to me Come running to you, come running to you When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you Come running to you, come running to you When it’s all through, I’ll come running to you I spent most of my whole life with a bucket and a spade One to carry things I love, one to bury the things I hate You won’t have to dig that hole, an empty heart is free Clear to make a brand new start You can come running to me, girl You can come running to me
9.
Honey Girl 02:33
HONEY GIRL T. Neilson/ D. Davidson If you’re felling lonely, if you’re feeling blue Mama’s got a sweet thing back at home for you I’ll be your Honey I’ll be your Honey Girl Sugar in the morning, sugar in the night For any other woman, I’ll spoil your appetite I’ll be your Honey, I’ll be your Honey Girl I’ll be your Honey Baby, take a chance on me I’ll be your Honey I’ll buzz you like a buzzin’ bee I’ll be your Honey I’ll be your Honey Girl Never gonna sting ya, gonna treat you right Gonna kiss and hug you, sweeten up your hive I’ll be your Honey I’ll be your Honey Girl
10.
WHISKEY AND KISSES T. Neilson/ D. Davidson Sure then, why not I’ll take a whiskey on the rocks The price of a good time, these days, ain’t a lot Yes, I’m here alone No I don’t want you to telephone You can’t have my number, but you can take me home You don’t ask and I won’t lie You can leave and I won’t cry ‘cause I don’t want a ring of gold Don’t wanna be a Mrs All that I want it your whiskey and kisses I’ll buy another round Watch some other clown take you home I’m only here ‘cause you don’t wanna be alone Why can’t you believe in what was once you and me It’s a shame, no one to blame It’s just the way that it goes You don’t ask, no I won’t lie You don’t leave so I won’t cry But you can keep that ring of gold ‘Cause part of me wishes That you wanted something more than just whiskey and kisses Don’t ask, don’t lie Don’t leave, don’t cry ‘Cause I don’t want your ring of gold But the heart of me wishes That you wanted something more than just whiskey and kisses All that I want is your whiskey and kisses

about

Audiences across the globe have heard and been enchanted by the golden voice of Tami Neilson. Singing her heart out across endless roads and stages, from her days as a young girl in the touring Neilson family band to her full blossoming as a formidable talent in her own right, Tami has won award after award for her songs and her singing and impressed critics and musicians alike with her hard work and attention to detail.

Her pure tones remind us of a time gone by where the vocalist was a songbird transporting us to places we could never go, showing us worlds we could only imagine.

Her skill at writing and crafting a song is shown here in the dynamic range of music you are about to hear. Moving easily through blues driven numbers like “Walk (Back To Your Arms)” and “Dynamite”, Tami showcases new facets in the jewel, her soulful side with “Cry Over You” and her maple-sweetness in “Honey Girl”, before she kicks it up with rockin numbers like “Woo Hoo” and “Come Over”. Those familiar with her previous work will be happy to hear the country lament “You Lie” and her bell-like “Texas”, keeping one foot squarely planted in the country corner.

A couple of duets appear here on the album: young Marlon Williams leaves us breathless while matching Tami word for word in the fun and frantic "Woo Hoo", Ben Woolley croons with the heartbreak of a spurned suitor in "Whiskey & Kisses", while fellow hayrider Delaney Davidson's worries are kissed away in “Running To You”.

Steel-playing wizard, Red McKelvie, came out of retirement to play on the songs after he heard the demos, and the highly-sought-after skills of Dave Khan are sprinkled beautifully, adding body and a touch of the cinematic. The rhythm section of Joe McCallum and Ben Woolley round the sound out to form the makings of a classic.
