Description:
"Much has been made of New Yorker Amy Allison`s very distinctive voice - described by one UK national paper as sounding like Lisa Simpson after singing lessons. But for those searching for something a bit different, Allison`s delivery - pitched somewhere between Emmylou Harris` breathier Red Dirt Girl moments and Victoria Williams` twang - won`t put you off. For those already accustomed to her voice, Everything And Nothing Too will prove a treat. Warm, lush melodies drive songs like `Don`t Go To Sleep`, and the lilting `Her Hair Was Red`, backed by some great playing from guitarist David Scott who also produced the record. The ballads...prove the strongest tracks of the record. Allison also exhibits Anglophillic tendencies with `Heart Of London` and a cover of the Morrissey classic `Everyday Is Like Sunday`. Yet as soon as that cover fades, another begins as Allison takes on her father`s `Was` with much success. It proves to be the standout track on the record and Mose Allison joins his daughter on the recording, providing understated but compelling piano runs. This is fruitful ground for both father and daughter and proves the perfect way to sign off a great album." (8 out of 10) Nic Fildes, Americana-UK.com
