Amy will be playing songs from her recently released album "The
Killer In Me" on Wildflower Records. Critics have already been raving
about the album:
"her velvety, achy voice recalls an early Lucinda Williams. Sounding
grounded but wounded, Speace exudes the vulnerability of someone who's
loved and lost."
- Alex Cohen, NPR.org, 6.12.09
"a deep, dark album full of lush, emotive lyrics, masterful acoustic
guitar work and just the right mix of percussion to make up-tempo
numbers"
- Nancy Dunham, Washington Post (DC), 6.12.09
"[Speace] will likely increase her following substantially with this
album. It's a dark, deeply personal album... a rough-edged, roots-rock
sound that perfectly complements Speace's unsettling lyrics."
- Jay Lustig, Newark Star Ledger (NJ), 6.26.09
"Amy Speace revels in her commanding growl on 'The Killer in Me.' Fans
of Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls could connect."
- Jon Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News (PA), 6.30.09
Possessing a commanding voice, a distinctive melodic sensibility and
an uncanny knack for nailing complex emotions in song, AMY SPEACE
makes music that's both illuminating and effortlessly accessible. Her
forthcoming release, The Killer In Me, follows her 2006 breakthrough
Songs for Bright Street. While Songs won her a loyal international fan
base, The Killer In Me finds the NY-based artist forging into deeper,
darker lyrical and musical terrain, delivering an album of startling
intimacy and resonance.
