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.
