The fine art of strong songwriting (in Nashville)
Amos Lee is a talented American singer-songwriter. Between country and Americana. With a voice that has already been described as 'light amber, mildly sweet, a touch of grain.'
Amos Lee is also a singer-guitarist who takes his time. Until the songs and the colleagues are ripe enough. His previous CD 'Mission Bell' went straight to No.1 in the US charts in 2011. Now he has finished 'Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song' - as always, on the very notable Blue Note label (via Universal.)
'Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song' was recorded in Nashville under the most stimulating of circumstance, and with contributions by Alison Krauss and Patty Griffin.
Amos Lee neatly navigates between soul, folk en country. He can do it with big band or solo. He has also been able to support Norah Jones, Adele, Bob Dylan... Or in the Ancienne Belgique already, in 2005, for Aimee Mann. So that AB is then also pleased to finally see Amos return. You are too, aren't you?
