Review:
Another fine album from Amy Speace
This is another very fine album from Amy Speace. I have admired her
work for some years now – so much so that I contributed to the
crowdfunding of Me And The Ghost Of Charlemagne, which means that
I’ve had a copy for some months now and have listened to it a lot.
Amy Speace turned 50
fairly recently, but she continues to mature as both a songwriter and
a performer. The songs here have lyrics which are even more
thoughtful and well crafted than before, think – which is really
saying something. The title track, for example, is remarkably
atmospheric and a long way from your average singer/songwriter fare.
She has a lovely, pure voice which she uses to give real meaning to
her lyrics and writes a very good tune.
The album is
beautifully produced by Neilson Hubbard and the overall effect is
involving and atmospheric. Even in a time when we are phenomenally
blessed with excellent female singer/songwriters, this a classy piece
of work which stands out for me and I can recommend it very warmly.
