The buzz:
on Candy Heart:
One of those rare albums that’s filled with ebullient choruses and complicated moods,
literate verse and ravaged guitars, and a level of composition and craftsmanship that
brings to mind Lucinda Williams, Tom Petty, and Ryan Adams.
- Boston Globe
White has married Americana craftsmanship with alt-rock invention in a way that one
element bolsters the other.
- Washington Post
With smart songs sand a folk-pop style reminiscent of Lucinda Williams and Patty Griffin,
“Candy Heart” is both gritty and pretty, benefiting from deft production and engineering…
- Boston Herald
on Blue Souvenirs:
White has a pretty, gossamer voice that captures a pop sensibility against an ambient
country soundscape, like Willie Nelson’s Teatro and Emmylou Harris’ Wrecking Ball.
- The Stranger
Blue Souvenirs is atmospheric, well crafted and aware, a fetching mix of her regional
influences.
- Nashville Scene
Calling to mind the tough, uncompromising poetry of Lucinda Williams and the murky
pastorals of Cowboy Junkies, White’s Blue Souvenirs is a deep, richly textured effort… an
urbane mixture of alt-country inspired twang and lush, Daniel Lanois-reminiscent
ambience.
- Performing Songwriter
Great songs and compelling textural ideas … solid artistry … cool, unconventional country
edged songwriting.
- Boston Globe
on Amelia:
A great Unknown.
- Bob Boilen, National Public Radio
She is an amazing performer and the songs stand on their own. Her chord changes and
melodies are unlike any ones – really. She’s amazing.
- Lori McKenna, singer/songwriter
on Amelia’s hair:
I love your hair … I want your hair!
