Wildflower Records artist Amy Speace recently made a home for herself
on cutting-edge social network and music discovery site Amie Street,
hoping to connect with new fans and test how her music would fare on
the site's innovative fan-driven pricing model.
It didn't take long for Amy to be spotted and featured in the Amie
Street newsletter alongside The Barenaked Ladies and Sweden's The
Perishers. In the first three days since that appearance, Amy's album
"Songs for Bright Street" has since jumped from a free download to a
combined value of $4.83 with 915 listens (as of 06/06/07). And fans
have taken notice of the Jersey City folk country singer-songwriter,
as the recommendation start pouring in:
"With Michelle Shocked soul, Amy Speace & the Tearjerks lay down Songs
for Bright Street, an American Folk album that lands near Shawn
Colvin, Eliza Gilkyson, Catie Curtis, and Lucy Kaplansky, but could
just as well be Country-influenced Rock or Blues Rock at times. Speace
can speak like Ani Difranco, but she can also croon like Susan
Tedeshci ("Not the Heartless Kind"). Lead guitarist/producer James
Mastro works his magic like Bo Ramsey to Greg Brown. Embraced by the
grass-roots crowd, there's more here than just another Alison Krauss.
"Shed This Skin" is like June Carter Cash with Maria McKee."
"Says what it 'does on the can' - folky country style - great voice,
great production, great album"
"If you like the folk/country style of Mary Chapin Carpenter then you
will love this simple raw style."
