Amy Speace's CD "Songs For Bright Street" was released in the UK through ADA/Ryko last year, receiving rave reviews from the press across the pond:
"[Songs for Bright Street] is a superior example of stunning music at its best ... guaranteed to make waves this side of the Atlantic. ... a unique country-folk sound that can be best described as an Americana Dido... both illuminating and effortly accessible." The Verve
"... a baker's dozen of heartfelt, soul stirring, uplifting and crashing down again songs ... Ms. Speace knows how to rip your heart out and shred it to pieces." - Zeitgeist-scot.co.uk
"If you're a fan of Lucinda Williams / Caitlin Cary / Roseanne Cash then give this girl a whirl and wonder why you haven't heard of her before... [Songs for Bright Street]'s got the lot - lots of sad country twang, a dollop of folk and just a smidge of pop... In short, it's full of melodic treats that will make your heart ache." - Lonesome Music
"Speace combines country and folk to great effect and her lovely vocal inflections invite favourable comparison with her compatriate & contemporary Dar Williams. A fine album ..." - Classic Rock Society
"Songs For Bright Street' by Amy Speace & The Tearjerks is a piece of nu-country magic - superbly crafted, rammed with lyrical reality, overflowin' with instrumental brilliance. Oh, and then there's those Amy Speace vocals - simply stunning!! Country music at its grittiest, most tangible and outrageous best!" - Toxic Pete
"This cool little lady ... has one of those spellbinding voices that just draws you in ... soft and seductive, yet witty and street smart, and a little dangerous ... Her voice is to die for but the Americana foly, twangy country arrangements ... and the confrontational songwriting come up to the same level. This album is like the summer we never had ... she gets two fullhearted thumbs up. Hell, I'll give her a few digits extra. She's that good." - Irish World
>From the rustic rush of "Step Out of the Shade" to the bittersweet lilt >of "Water Landing" to the gentle acoustic intimacy of "Two," Songs for >Bright Street's 12 original compositions (plus a slyly countrified >reading of the Blondie classic "Dreaming") showcase Speace's unique >gifts, offering catchy Americana with indelible hooks, sharply observed >lyrics and a gritty urban edge.
