Album Notes

(Her Hair Was Red)- "Beautiful and touching story song from a very under-appreciated songwriter"...Elvis Costello, itunes celebrity playlist

“… a lovely world where urban country mixes freely with 1960’s girl groups, jazz standards and a love of the Smiths to create a distinctive, sophisticated treat.”
The Sunday Times

"Amy Allison has one of the most striking voices ever ... it makes no difference what she applies that voice to … everything comes out sounding decidedly unique ... bloody marvelous."
Hi Fi Plus

“For those who treasure individuality and the craft of songwriting, here’s a find.”
The Observer

“… a songwriter of rare ability … revealing an outstanding bittersweet pop sensiblity comparable to the Brill Building greats … hugely tuneful and hook-laden … her voice is the perfect vehicle for her exquisitely wrought tales of love and loss. Sublime.”
What’s On

“… a lovely, enchanting album of songs from the heart.”
The Sun

“… poignant and magical … like most things exotically different, when she finally gets under your skin, she is something to be savoured, like a warming glass of Green Chartreuse.”
Maverick

“… a voice all her own … persuasive sincerity”
The Word

“… tuneful writing … gripping personal intensity”
Mojo

“… a voice to be savoured … a grand job.”
Scotland on Sunday

“There’s not a weak track here but arguably the best of the bunch has to be “Her Hair Was Red”, a simple, harp rippling Celtic infused hymn to her grandmother that will simply make you melt … by the time I’d played it all twice, that voice sounded like the most perfect thing in the world.”
Netrhythms

“Her version of Morrissey’s “Every Day is Like Sunday” pulverizes versions by Chrissie Hynde and Natalie Merchant into the dust.”
