I instantly loved her scratchy, full of longing voice; it reminded me right away of Edith Piaf. Her final encore at that concert, and also when I saw her on July 4th opening for Emmylou Harris, was La Vie en Rose, a Piaf classic, so Amy herself must identify with Piaf. Also love her catchy tunes and the way she stomps her boots on the wooden floor when performing (her moves were the same but the effect wasn't quite as impressive on the makeshift outdoor stage of the July 4th concert). I was also extremely impressed by the cellist who accompanies her. Her playing is so unique -- sometimes it's like another voice, sometimes like drums, very unusual. The cello is silver so the look of it is odd too. It's hard to believe such warm sounds could come out of what looks like a hunk of metal. I'm glad to see Amy getting some recognition. How did you find out about her? Did she open for RT when you saw him in Greenville? Debra Shea
