Synopsis

Album Description
Amy Speace is a New York musical staple at venues like the Living Room and the Bitter End and a favorite among the Nashville singer/songwriter crowd. Moving across the Hudson to Hoboken, Amy was drawn to a burgeoning New Jersey roots scene that was evolving. Influenced by artists like Son Volt, Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams and The Jayhawks, she began working with other players and put together a band, The Tearjerks. The band honed its sound playing shows from Boston to New York to Nashville, where the Village Voice, Time Out New York and the Nashville Rage named Amy Speace the "Critic's Pick." Songs For Bright Street was produced by James Mastro (The Bongos, Health & Happiness Show, Ian Hunter). Bright Street features The Tearjerks and is graced by guests Gary Louris (The Jayhawks), E-Street Band fiddler Soozie Tyrell and Cliff Eberhardt.

CD Reviews

Smart songwriter, beautiful voice
Lauri | Providence, RI, USA | 05/23/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great CD. Amy has a lovely voice, and the songs are clever and witty. It is hard to classify the genre - it ranges from folk to rock, with a little bit of twang thrown in for good measure. I love the opening track, Step out of the Shade, but it's the tongue-in-cheek Double Wide Trailer that gets stuck in my head all the time. Real Thing is the best girls' song since the days of Helen Reddy and Gloria Gaynor. I would definitely recommend this CD."
A star on the horizon

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Amy's voice is better than ever; she has a command of ranges that can be awesome. Her lyrics reach the heart and make the listener hear the story. She is witty and sassy in The Real Thing, sentimental with feeling in Two, and Double Wide is just a great song to have fun with the crowd. She's a winner."
Amy is the Real Thing

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD's songs resonate long after listening to them. It is especially great for long road trips. Amy writes words and music that reflect and touch the Amercan spirit. She inspires us to take risks with Step Out of the Shade and motivates women to be the real thing in a song by that name. Some may call her style americana, folk, or singer-songwriter, but I just know she is the best of all worlds and is one to watch (and listen to) as she rises in the future music scene."
