Follow on Google News | Amilia Spicer To Release New Album Wow and Flutter April 28, 2017Appearing At Prestigious Folk Alliance International Conference February 15-19, 2017
Wow and Flutter is Spicer's most compelling work to date. The songs map her musical DNA in landscapes of languid farmlands, gritty alleys and red dirt noir. Her lyrics reflect the various places she calls home; Pennsylvania where she was raised, and Los Angeles and Austin where she currently splits her time. She visits her father's hometown of Harlan Kentucky on the track "Harlan" as well. The album kicks off with the twang and yearning of the first track "Fill Me Up," a plea to the universe to fulfill (need adjective for fill) her broken soul. The album's journeycontinues with sensual and heartfelt songs like "Harlan," and "This Town," which recounts a scene known to many, when one finally realizes that no matter how far you travel, you never truly leave your hometown. Spicer confesses, "I know my home is in this town, like I know just how to breathe." Spicer has recruited an all-star line-up for Wow and Flutter. Keyboardists Rami Jaffee (Wallflowers, Foo Fighters) and Mike Finnegan (Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal) contribute, as does Woody Guthrie disciple and singer-songwriter Jimmy LaFave, alongside bassist Daryl Johnson (Stones/Dylan) Amilia Spicer at Folk Alliance: Amilia Spicer's own label, Free Range Records, will present private showcases from their "Free Range Records Presents" room at the Folk Alliance festival. This room, #604, will also feature artists from the Kerrville Folk Festival on Friday night, February 17. All of this is in addition to Spicer's own Official Folk Alliance festival showcase, which takes place at 7:45pm on Thursday Feb 16 in the Brookside Room. About Amilia Spicer: When Spicer answered music's call, she was first discovered at a Los Angeles club. That led to a rare main stage Kerrville Folk Festival debut, three Kennedy Center performances, song placements in several high-profile TV productions (Party of Five, Dawson's Creek), and more. Spicer's first two releases, Like an Engine and Seamless were released to critical acclaim, with New Texas Magazine calling Spicer "A formidable talent." Spicer's music has also earned comparisons to that of Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, and Lanois. During the writing process for Wow and Flutter, Spicer took time to work on several other projects. Among these, she has been lauded for her contributions to Cinnamon Girl: Women Artists Cover Neil Young and A Case for Case: A Peter Case Tribute with John Prine. She also appeared on the 2009 Safety Harbor Kids Holiday Collection, alongside Jackson Browne, Sheila E, and Paul Barrere. Spicer has enjoyed other collaborations as well, most notably appearing on albums by John Gorka and the final Rounder release from the late Bill Morrissey.
