"Amy Lashley is a singer/songwriter happily planted in the Midwest (wait--she just moved to Nashville). She writes songs with a simple, front porch feel--rural and rootsy; And sings with a rich warm voice that can fill a room with broken hearts. Miss Amy also likes to give Patsy Cline a whirl (not "CRAZY"), then drive an old pick-up through a jazz standard..."
If you're interested, I have a 6-song EP called FOOLISH LONESOME for sale. Send me a message and I'll mail you a copy.
REVIEWS AND SUCH ...
"This six-song recording is a quest for human connection.
Amy Lashley performs songs about men who have let her down, yet she finds reliable company in "Miss Josephine." This standout track details the affection a 33-year-old can have for a 3-year-old -- perhaps a niece or the daughter of a friend. Lashley's lyrics question her own maturity while appreciating the youngster's blissful nature. "You're a dream in a dandelion dress," she sings. "You take away my troubles, I must confess."
Traditional country arrangements -- highlighted by Jim Kremidas on pedal steel guitar, dobro and mandolin -- caress Lashley's voice, which boasts a bittersweet tone similar to country-rock darling Neko Case.
Rural pride permeates "Foolish Lonesome," which chides "Lil' Brother" for bolting the Midwest for a fancy coastal city. As for Lashley's own metropolitan experiences, she notes that stars get lost and the moon just hangs in the sky."

P.S. It sure is nice when someone attaches an interesting
comment--instead of "THANKS FOR THE ADD!"
