Pam Tillis’ Father’s Day Present: Records CD Of Dad’s Tunes



NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) – Country singer Pam Tillis is giving her dad, Mel Tillis, a gift that will keep on giving: She’s recorded a CD of his songs. Tillis has just finished her tribute album, It’s All Relative, which features her rendition of Daddy’s ditties like “I Ain’t Never,” “So Wrong” and “Detroit City,” She also recorded some of Mel’s songs that weren’t big hits or even recorded but were always personal faves. One song that doesn’t make the cut is “Ruby (Don’t Take Your Love To Town),” Mel’s most famous song. Pam thought about recording it and even wrote new lyrics but – as she points out – “It isn’t a tribute record if you rewrite the songs.” She’s saving the new “Ruby” for now but It’s All Relative, which features her dad, Dolly Parton, and Trisha Yearwood and others, hits stores in August.
