Pam Tillis has a talent for selecting great tunes, and when she applies her powerful voice and beating heart to them, the result can be amazing as well as country-chart topping.
Every Time is no different, as strong a collection of tunes as she's ever recorded, a nice blend of new and traditional country. The record starts off with a bang with "I Said a Prayer" and never looks back. The title track is a great car-trip sing-along, and "Lay the Heartache Down" is a confessional weeper that displays Tillis's emotive talent.

Every Time] contains not a single Tillis original, but does contain the related themes of heartbreak, sorrow and renewal. Her undersung but nonetheless searing interpretation of Satcher's rocker, "You Put the Lonely on Me," has the distinction of being a stronger single, the carefully controlled, rocking arrangement complimenting her aggressive vocal. The passion and vulnerability she so beautifully conveys on "Every Time," makes that number stand out, too.
