"One Time" CD Tour
Groton's own Amy Black has a brand new CD. Hear the songs live and buy the CD hot off the press.
Black has been performing since she was a kid, but only in recent years did she start to pursue her passion of singing American roots music. It was a long time in coming. She fell hard for Bonnie Raitt's music at 16 and came to love all types of American roots music in the years since. She credits her southern roots (Alabama) for the reason she's drawn to music with themes and instrumentation that hail from the south.
Her motto is "sing it like you mean it" and she certainly does that. Amy's soulful voice, passion for music and dedication to having a good ole' time come through loud and clear. Black's bluesy alto voice is full of texture, depth and soul. She is a versatile singer, able to deliver a moving ballad while also right at home rocking the house.
Black and band cover many of the greats including Johnny Cash, Robert Johnson, Waylon Jennings, Emmylou Harris, Hank Williams and Bonnie Raitt – breathing new life into songs from the past and weaving her own high-quality originals into the mix.
Music writer James Reed of the Boston Globe had this to say in a recent review, "Don't be fooled by the fact that their set list is mostly covers. Black and her band put their own rootsy Americana stamp on everything from country to soul to rock 'n…" roll."
With One Time, Amy’s powerful voice and presence are now matched by the commanding range of her own writing. The album’s three covers are testaments to Amy's unquestionable feel for classic material.
