   About Pamela McNeill
"Pamela McNeill really knows how to get the demons out!" - Farrah (a fan)

"Country-rock siren Pamela McNeill cooks like grease on the griddle." - Dwight Hobbes, Mpls St.Paul Magazine

“The first time we saw Pamela McNeill perform, we thought, ‘Wow! Who is this woman who sings like the love child of Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks and Chrissie Hynde?’ We still think the same and are now also amazed at her brilliant and beautiful songwriting.” Lori Barghini & Julia Cobbs from FM 107’s the “Lori & Julia” show (WFMP 107.1 FM Mpls/St. Paul)

“Pamela McNeill writes the kind of tunes the Dixie Chicks used to record before they got angry.” Minneapolis StarTribune

“The World Beyond” (from “Nightingale”) is a KILLER song! I absolutely LOVE this song and I don’t say that very often.” Brian Oake - Cities97 (KTCZ 97.1 FM Minneapolis/St. Paul)

“I’ve been producing and engineering records for 31 years. I’ve never worked with a more talented singer/songwriter. Pamela McNeill is an electrifying performer, an amazing singer, and an incredibly gifted songwriter.” Tom Tucker Sr. - Producer/Engineer (Lucinda Williams, Prince, Soul Asylum)

Pamela McNeill is a story teller; a songwriter of lost truths and forgotten dreams. Over the years, she has created an ever-widening circle of fans with her distinctive voice that one reviewer describes as "the voice of a fiery angel." Her new album, 2007's “Nightingale” is a novel in music form; songs of pure truth and heartache wrapped in delicious melody. Soulful revelations delivered in a fiery Americana package, lush strings, and harmonica, meet incendiary guitar work. It is an album reminiscent of a time when it was all about the song. Think The Byrds, Graham Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Rickie Lee Jones, or Bonnie Raitt. The album is McNeill's most personal yet - a statement that becomes evident in its centerpiece - the achingly beautiful “Mississippi River Song.” Written about Pamela's strong connection to the Mississippi River, having grown up on its banks, she explains, “ When you grow up on any body of water, it flows through your veins forever. Family gatherings, childhood outings, hanging out with friends in High School...it all goes back to the river. I get such an energy just watching it. It's like I know it will always be there for me, an ongoing symbol of life.” “One Good Angel” is a song about her cousin who passed away at the age of 28, and although the lyric describes great heartache McNeill never allows the soul to sink all the way down, keeping the message and music uplifting and hopeful. “I'm a huge Lucinda Williams fan and I've always admired how she writes about her surroundings and keeps it so real,” she explains. “I just wanted to paint a picture, sad or hopeful, of my little Northern life.”

Is it me or does the opening guitar of "Bound to Break" sound like "Take Me Home Country Roads"?

I think you channeled John Denver on that one!

Looking forward to our awesome show Wed June 18 at O'Gara's in St.
Paul!
