Briefs: Amy Speace - Land Like A Bird

Amy Speace - Roots/folk singer/songwriter waved farewell to New York and New Jersey and said hello to East Nashville during the writing of her new album...what she describes as "the ending of one chapter and the beginning of another" // Release: Land Like A Bird (March 29) // Quote: "Her velvety, achy voice recalls an early Lucinda Williams. Sounding grounded but wounded, Speace exudes the vulnerability of someone who's loved and lost."-- NPR // Sounds like: elegiac postcards of friends and places left behind...simpatico producer/collaborator Neilson Hubbard (Kim Richey, Garrison Starr) finds the right mix of thoughtful acoustic introspection and upbeat optimism -- what Speace calls "relief and anticipation" after 2009's "breakup album" The Killer Inside Me...What we like: the gorgeous folk ballad "Ghost"... Ron Sexsmith's wonderful "Galbraith St."...
