Already gave this album its first spin today. Very solid album! I'm definitely going to have to listen for a couple weeks before I am confident enough in my opinions to rank it!

I went through a Pam Tillis obsession a few years ago when I listened to hear Greatest Hits cd pretty much on repeat for months. Sadly, I’m not very familiar at all with any of her music though besides her big hits, so this will give me an excuse to listen to some of her other stuff! The singles on this album are very solid, so I look forward to listening to the rest.

I'd say it's about time to bump this one...  Man, what a solid debut album! The biggest hits from the album are definitely the best songs, imo, but it is still a worthwhile listen that I have absolutely enjoyed having on repeat for the last couple weeks! There's nothing I flat-out "dislike". |

Finally found time to get more acquainted (or re-acquainted rather) with this album, which is deliciously country! I already own this album plus a few others and was simply AMAZED by how consistent and distinct each track sounds. Ranking her albums will not be an easy task as my feelings may change as often as, if not more than, the weather!  P.S. I just submitted for Put Yourself in My Place. |

What song will be #1? "Memphis" should easily take this one. What songs will make up the Top 3? "Maybe It Was Memphis", "Don't Tell Me What To Do", "One Of Those Things" What song will be #10? Probably "Draggin' My Chains". What songs will make up the Bottom 3? "Draggin' My Chains", "Already Fallin'", and it's REALLY tough to say what else! Maybe "Melancholy Child"? Which single will do the best? "Maybe It Was Memphis" Which single will do the worst? "Blue Rose Is" Which non-single will do the best? I think this'll be "Ancient History"! Any other thoughts/comments? This is one album where the best possible songs were chosen to be singles. They nailed the single choices!  Some of the album tracks were great too, but a couple were a tad forgettable. I am totally prepared for the "Memphis" domination that is about to ensue, but I am pretty curious to see how the other singles shake out!

 I've had a few things prevent me from getting the graphics done for this, which is why I haven't began results yet. Sorry about that, I will try and begin this tonight but if not I will start it tomorrow! Last call for some answers to these questions!: What song will be #1? what songs will make up the Top 3? What song will be #10? What songs will make up the Bottom 3? Which single will do the best? ("Don't Tell Me What To Do", "One Of Those Things", "Put Yourself In My Place", "Maybe It Was Memphis", "Blue Rose Is") Which single will do the worst? Which non-single will do the best? ("Melancholy Child", "Draggin' My Chains", "Ancient History", "I've Seen Enough To Know", "Already Fallen") Any other thoughts/comments?

What song will be #1? I’d be shocked if it wasn’t “Maybe It Was Memphis” What songs will make up the Top 3? “Maybe It Was Memphis” and “Don’t Tell Me What To Do” for sure...I’d like to see “Put Yourself In My Place” make it in but it’ll probably be “One of Those Things” What song will be #10? “Draggin’ My Chains” What songs will make up the Bottom 3? “Draggin’ My Chains”, “Already Fallen”, and “Melancholy Child” Which single will do the best? "Maybe It Was Memphis" for the win Which single will do the worst? “Blue Rose Is” Which non-single will do the best? I agree with bboat11 that it’ll be "Ancient History" Any other thoughts/comments? I had all but forgotten that “One of Those Things” was a single and I’m not sure I can recall ever hearing it on the radio. It was great getting to revisit “Blue Rose Is” and especially “Put Yourself In My Place” as both of those are great songs.

Got everything ready to present #10 and #9!
#10 shouldn't be a surprise to anyone as it spent the ENTIRE submission period at #10...

Lmao how are people already losing top 2s though...  On an album that contains the perfect gems "Maybe It Was Memphis", "One Of Those Things", AND "Don't Tell Me What To Do" alone, there just isn't an excuse to be flopping THAT hard!  |

Anyway, "Draggin' My Chains" definitely isn't bad by any means. It just doesn't have anything to set it apart from the rest of this amazing album. Something had to be in last place, and this one consistently came up towards the bottom of my list after several drafts. It's still a little painful to treat it that way though :( Great song!

kicking things off is "Draggin' My Chains". I definitely feel as though this is the weakest on this album by a long shot. Don't dislike the song at all, just the other 9 songs are much better quality. Glad I'm not alone in feeling that way. BTW while "Draggin' My Chains" had 87 points, the #6 song has 73 points. Separated by 14 points! Up next, a song that neither bboat11 or tim expected to see in the bottom 3... |

Oh wow! Surprised, but not at all disappointed, to see "Blue Rose Is" leaving already. I really like this song, but I do feel like the chorus falls a tad flat after the epic melody that is set up in the verses. I figured it would have a little more life just because it was a single, but then again Pam Tillis is not an artist who is likely to have as much single bias as somebody big like Carrie Underwood, George Strait, etc. I consider myself a fan, and I only knew the top 10 hits off of this album!

Lmao tim and I with literally identical predictions. Lol I know and that’s one reason I think I didn’t come back around to post my own predictions because after I initially saw yours I thought to myself Yeah, that pretty much covers it And with that neither of us were surprised to see “Draggin’ My Chains” come in at last place as that song also was more or less at or near the bottom of my list for each draft I did. But what is “Blue Rose Is” doing out already?! Very disappointed to see more than five bottom 3’s for this as it has such a classic country sound that I love. It’s easily something that would’ve fit right in with the genre had it been released in the 50’s by say Kitty Wells or in the 60’s by Tammy Wynette...in the 70’s by Dolly Parton or an early Tanya Tucker...or even on one of Patty Loveless’ early albums in the late 80’s. Such a great song that deserved better and at least Kanenrá:ke , toomuchboy and myself have some taste! |

Surprised to see "Draggin' My Chains" in last place. I thought it was fantastic. My favorite discovery of the album, of which there were plenty.

Ok I figured "Draggin' My Chains" wouldn't do well but I figured #8 or something. :(
Absolutely adore "Blue Rose Is" and even felt like I should've bumped it up a spot or two. Just fantastic!

"Blue Rose Is" is a great song but definitely the weakest of the 5 singles so I am happy to see it be the first to go. Though despite my ranking I was surprised it went as early as it did, as I thought it would be around 6 or 7.
Will be posting the next 2 tonight and I think we could be in for some more surprises. Also both songs out tonight in 8th and 7th place are tied in points with 76 each! The song at #8's highest rank is lower than #7's highest rank...

Still that you were so dedicated to renaming the title of this song. |
