Pam Tillis, along with several big-name guests, has finished recording an album that pays tribute to her father, country legend Mel Tillis.
Among the guests is Mel Tillis himself, as well as vocalists Emmylou Harris, Trisha Yearwood, Dolly Parton and the Jordanaires. Delbert McClinton plays harmonica, and Marty Stuart plays mandolin.
The album, which is Pam Tillis’ debut for Columbia’s Lucky Dog imprint, is set for release on Aug. 27. Among the tracks covered are “Detroit City,” “I Ain’t Never,” “So Wrong” and “Heart Over Mind.”
Pam Tillis produced eight of the tracks on the album, and Asleep at the Wheel frontman Ray Benson handled production duties on the remaining four.
“I wanted to venture outside Nashville to work with Ray,” Tillis said in a statement. “There’s great tradition in these songs, and I felt Ray would respect the integrity of the style of those songs.”
