Pam Tillis fans can expect a mixture of old favorites plus something new from her latest album Friday night.

Tillis takes the stage at the Plaza Theatre at 7 p.m.

“We will be doing some songs from our latest album ‘Rhinestoned’ and from my Christmas album,” she said.

“Rhinestoned” was released in 2007 by Stellar Cat Records, Tillis’ own record label, which she says is “A&R Department” free. A&R stands for artists and repertoire and can sometimes place limitations on what recording artists like Tillis can do.

The album “Rhine-stoned” is a compilation of songs Tillis has collected over the years.

“These were songs the A&R Department said were either too country or not commercial for whatever reason,” she said. “I grew up around songwriters and I knew a good song when I heard one. I thought, ‘I’m going to record these songs.’ When you start your own label you can do whatever the heck you want to do.”

A single from the album, “Band in the Window” was in the No. 1 slot for six weeks on the ECMA (European Country Music Association) chart.

Her holiday album “Just in Time for Christmas” was also released in 2007.

Tillis recently returned from a 32-day tour of Ireland, Wales and England. She will make a stop at the Plaza after playing a show in her hometown of Nashville before traveling on to Bluffton, S.C. This year Tillis has toured Canada and most of the southeast, with a couple of dates in the west. Being on the road so much doesn’t bother her.

“You get used to it,” she said. “I have people say, ‘How do you do it?’ and ‘I could never do it’ and then ‘I’d love to live on a bus that would be the neatest thing.’ It has its pros and cons. I love room service. I have a great time. The audiences make the traveling worth it. If you didn’t love what you do, you wouldn’t be doing it.”

Tillis has won three Country Music Association awards, two Grammy awards and an IBMA award. She’s had 14 top five hits and has sold over 6 million records. She became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2000. She says her father, Mel Tillis, influenced her career and on occasion would give her advice.

“He’s not a real soap box kind of guy. He doesn’t have to say a lot to get his point across,” she said. “He won’t go into one of those big long rambly things. He never thought I listened, but I had.”

The best advice her dad ever gave her, she said, was rather simple.

“Just stay down to earth because people can tell if you are or aren’t,” she said.

She’s often asked what it was like to grow up in the country music industry.
