TAMCO - Don't Think Twice

"Tammy Payne has an evocative, soulful voice and a way of re-telling a story. Wonderfully skewed, stripped down and psychedelic". MOJO ****

‎"Undoubtedly the most purely enjoyable release of the year". Manchester Evening News ****

Bristol singer Payne and her band of crack jazz-blues men bring startlingly original twists to songs by Dylan, Dolly Parton, Leonard Cohen and others on this admirable debut". DAILY MIRROR ****

"Tammy Payne has been one of the finest soul and jazz singers that the UK has produced in the two decades. This is a decidedly cultured piece of work from an artist whose talent has not been recognised. This should put her in a deservedly bigger
spotlight". BBC MUSIC ONLINE

Drawing on influences from Tom Waits to Nick Cave and Julie Driscol to Roberta Flack, Tamco was born out of late night whiskies and a shared love of ‘50s and ‘60s jazz. Featuring some of Bristol’s most creative and innovative musicians, Tamco includes vocalist Tammy Payne (Smith and Mighty, Jukes), bassist Jim Barr (Portishead, Get The Blessing), guitarist Neil Smith (Liftmen), keyboardist Dan Moore (Andy Shepperd) and drummer Dylan Howe (Nick Cave, Damon Albarn, Portishead and Robert Wyatt). Their debut album ‘Don’t Think Twice’ is a powerfully evocative collection of well-loved songs by greats such as Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan encompassing a multitude of genres.
