Amelia White - Rhythm of the Rain


Rating: 4/5

Review;
A very good album



Amelia White is a fine artist and this is a very good album.  I liked last year's Home Sweet Hotel and Rhythm of the Rain is even better, I think.

The album has plenty of punch from both White and her band, with songs to match.  They are well crafted and tell a good variety of stories; the standard is good throughout with evocative lyrics based in telling detail and couple, like the opener Little Cloud Over Little Rock and Said It Like A King really stand out for me.  She has a great, smoky, laid-back voice with real soul and power and I was powerfully reminded of Eliza Gylkison several times – which is high praise.

In short, if you like good Americana you'll like this.  Warmly recommended.
