"Rocket Rearview” makes Jim Hyne’s (Glide/Making A Scene) Top 25 Albums of 2022

"Rocket Rearview,” released Sept. 30th ’22, makes Jim Hyne’s  ( Glide/Making A Scene) Top 25 Albums of 2022 world /roots/ Blues along with such greats as Calexico, Shemekia Copeland, and Mary Gauthier.

Hynes has this to say in his review of “Rocket” 

“There’s nothing the least bit pretentious about White. Don’t expect to find any sugar coating in these eleven songs but she finds a balance that ranges from the ominous to the hopeful…she evokes the doomsday Dylan of “Desolation Row” with these lines – “Prophets and Saints have abandoned their posts/They’re down at the bar with the ghosts.” She paints vivid imagery of the Old South as she revisits where she grew up in an attempt to turn a new page in “My Way Home,” a standout track among these several gems such as “Hands Are Like Faces,” co-written with guitarist Johnny Duke. In closing White emerges from the rough edges with the sublime, tender “Beautiful Sun” that invites emotions ranging from strong love to bitter sorrow all in one tightly knit tune.

Through this myriad of Amelia White’s emotions she is gritty, tender, true, and unerringly on target.”
