"The Postman stood you up today
--Those clouds ain’t gonna come through
--The rain the forecast promised
--was supposed to be here by noon
--But the sun is high
and hot as hell
--If there’s a breeze
--you sure can’t tell..."
Otis and I are doing our best to make my next record a Mom & Pop
home studio venture...Wanamaker Recording Company--6 songs "in the can" so far. This might take awhile with O's schedule and my tendency toward self-deprecation and doubt. . .
I don't like to leave my nest, which is quite the dilemma for a singer/songwriter type.
If you're interested, I have a 6-song EP called FOOLISH LONESOME for sale. Send me a message.
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."
