Rember the Neilsons-Tami, Ron, Betty and Jay? If not, west-coast country music family hit it big for a short time in the '90s, touring with some of the greats of the era before Tami fell hook, line and sinker for a Kiwi and moved to the Pacific island nation to marry the guy who tugged her heart strings. She's become a sensation over there, winning a basket of awards that are the lamb chop nation's version of our own Junos.
Her latest release is a knockout. "Walk (Back To Your Arms") is from the Dynamite album, coming out Aug. via Outside Music. Reminiscent of some greats from various eras and delivered with a KO performance that tells you Tami Neilson is a star. Younger fans will be thinking Amy Winehouse but we know an Etta James song when we hear one.
