Amy Black Going Soph

02/23/2011
.
Amy Black has set a March 29, 2011 release date for her sophomore album, One Time.

After a decade of success in the business world, Black is taking a chance and following her music dreams with this new release. The rootsy collection of revealing and authentic tunes was recorded with producer, Lorne Entress (Lori McKenna, Bittertown).

Available digitally, the album's foundation is a traditional American roots sound but it's not without a dash of rock and soul. "My goal was to create music that successfully merged the acoustic and electric instrumentation that I love," says Black. "I tend to be drawn to a classic sound and paid my respects to some of the great music of the past when I wrote this album."

Black worked with Entress to bring the perfect cast of characters together – top-notch musicians, including singer/songwriter Mark Erelli on vocals, guitar and lap steel and Nashville's favorite fiddle player, Stuart Duncan. With Entress' guidance the players have created a rich and compelling album. The music spotlights traditional roots instruments like Dobro, fiddle, mandolin, pedal steel and upright bass as well as the smooth and classic sounds of the electric guitar. "Making One Time was an incredible experience for me," says Black. "As happy as I am to get the music out there, I'm also sad that the creation process is over. My favorite part of making this record was witnessing these incredible musicians doing what they do best. I can't wait to get back in the studio with them again."

"This album is really a tribute to my southern roots and is dedicated to my Granddad who grew up dirt poor in Alabama," says Black. After putting himself through college, Black's grandfather worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority for decades before pursuing his dream of starting his own business. This can-do tenacity along with a flare for storytelling, are traits passed along to Black. "He was a bit of a showman and I think I got that from him," says Black. "He passed away during the production of the album and I'm proud to honor him with this music."
