Nellie 'Tiger' Travis
"I'm In Love With A Man I Can't Stand"

Nellie is truly a "Queen Of Soul/Blues". Her previous CD, "I'm A Woman", was a major success and this new 12 song set will take her to the next level. Already, her song "Queen Of The Blues", dedicated to late Koko Taylor, is making waves in Chicago and throughout the South...but that's just an appetizer.

This new CD serves up all the items on Nellie's menu of strengths from catchy Southern Soul bumpers like "Clean It Up" and "Do What He Didn't Do" to Soulful slowies like "I'm With You Baby" and "Don't Ever Leave Me Again", with Party Blues numbers such as "Before You Grab This Tiger By The Tail" and even a little Gospel for dessert at the end!
Nellie has been singing throughout the Midwest & Deep South areas for years and has standing engagements overseas, performing in Greece, Germany, Brazil, Italy and Japan. This release is the most anticipated release in the genre of Soul/Blues"
