lineup, Jody Stephens; and up-and-comers Star & Micey.
Of The Bo-Keys, The Wall Street Journal said, “Funky[,] authentic groove… If
the Bo-Keys sound like Memphis in the 1960s and early '70s, it's probably
because most of the band's musicians were recording back then for the city's
top labels.”

Cattaneo, Rose Cousins and Rod Picott. No Depression has written, "Amy
Black has a smooth, seductive sound that commands attention… [She] sings in a
folk-styled country voice that suggests bits of Patty Loveless, Mary Chapin
Carpenter and Judy Collins, edged by the blues of Bonnie Raitt and a hint of
Jennifer Nettle’s sass." WUMB-FM Boston wrote that “her latest album, One
Time, reveals her as one of the best storytelling songwriters working today.”
