“Sleeplessness and miles pile on the soul. It can bring you down, or it can bring you 'round,” Amelia sings on ‘Rainbow Over the East-Side’, from her dark, moody new record, Home Sweet Hotel.
Like many singer-songwriters, Amelia tours to scratch out a living and endless coffee houses, bars and house concerts can overshadow any attempts to have a life at home with somebody you love.
That tension is at the heart of her new record, produced by Marco Giovino (Band of Joy, Buddy Miller), with appearances from a wealth of players backing Amelia, including multi-instrumentalist Sergio Webb (David Olney), Stuart Mathis (Lucinda Williams) on guitar, Ron Eoff (The Band) on bass, Paul Gordon (the B52’s) on keys and Julie Christensen (Leonard Cohen) adding some guest vocals.
