Tam Lynn's Debut Album
David Nathan, Blues & Soul, 27 August 1971
IT IS very difficult to analyse a debut album from any artist, since an artist's potential is often judged on their first album as opposed to their first single. When, as in Tami's case, the single in question is a smash, the importance of the album is even greater since it frequently indicates an artist's staying power.
