Amy has also been receiving rave reviews from press worldwide, with
recent reviews from Germany's Home of Rock to Sweden's Musiklandet and
Trots Allt.
"A fully convincing Singer-Songwriter / Roots-Rock, in short Americana
album, that excels with a refreshing variety, superb musicians and
wonderfully crafted lyrics. Speace's lyrical elegance and the
inventiveness of her finely selected metaphors intertwine very
convincingly with the craft of her band, The Tearjerks and give each
of the 13 songs its very unique identity. Boredom never comes near the
listener, of course." Home of Rock, March 16, 2007
"Amy has the same immediate gravitas as the genre's queen, Lucinda
Williams. But the best tracks on Songs for bright street are testimony
to the fact that this is an artist who could well bloom into someone
really big in the future." Musiklandet, March 16, 2007
"If Lucinda Williams is the queen of Americana, Kathleen Edwards is
about to be challenged for the title of princess by this New York
resident. Imagine both their spunk in combination with Roseanne Cash's
elegance and you get Amy Speace. That she gets helped by Gary Louris
from the Jayhawks on the duet is clearly a sign. We'll be hearing a
lot more about Speace." Trots Allt, February 2007
