With her 2018 album, Sassafrass! Tami Neilson takes a giant step that should only bring her more widespread acclaim.
On this 11-track effort, she places a heavier emphasis on soul music while not abandoning her country and rockabilly roots.
Neilson conjures up a wonderfully retro style that sounds like it could be a lost gem from the late '50s or early '60s; however, beneath the classic veneer are frank, highly relevant lyrics. Neilson offers several poignant tributes as well on Sassafrass! The Rosanne Cash-esque country ballad "Manitoba Sunrise at Motel 6" was written in homage to Glen Campbell on the day he died. She salutes the late, great Sharon Jones on the high-spirited soul number "Miss Jones." "A Woman's Pain," a twangy tale told in a style that recalls Bobbie Gentry, tells the story of Neilson's first-nation grandmother. She delivers a lovely reading of the '50s-style romantic ballad "One Thought of You," which was written by her father.
