If traditional country with a flair for the glamour and bright lights of the big city is your forte then you are going to fall hard and fast for this collection of six tunes from Lisa Dames. Lisa strings together interpretations of some classic country along with a few new tunes to create an atmosphere that will take you from the foot-stomping of "Viva Las Vegas" to the crying into your lonely beer of "Getting Closer."
Lisa starts out with her interpretation of "Viva Las Vegas." Lisa's version is fast and upbeat, a real foot stomper. Dames immediately reels the listener in with "Getting Closer," a tear jerker bound to be a honky-tonk jukebox favorite. The use of slide guitar adds great effect when coupled with Lisa's broken-hearted, down-trodden vocal style on the song.

The first two songs really show off Lisa's range, while the first tune is very up-tempo it is in stark contrast to "Getting Closer." What makes this more dynamic is that Dames is just as much at home with one as with the other.
The title track is a traditional country tune and again shows off Lisa's chops. Dames appears to move with great ease from track to track regardless of the tempo or feel of the song. Lisa hails from North Carolina and lists such country greats as Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and Trisha Yearwood among her influences. If she keeps up this kind of vocal prowess and ability to interpret different styles in the country music genre we may well hear her name in the same circles as these country legends.

If traditional country is your forte you will find a unique voice in Lisa Dames. And for those who don't listen to country you may well enjoy Lisa's unique interpretations of the genre.--BestFemaleMusicians.com
