Free Music Review: Amy LaVere's Anchors & Anvils is a Gem
Hit: 5 Stars
So I was thinking to myself this morning, that I really needed to learn an instrument like guitar or piano, to accompany my singing... and that made me wonder... how come it's always guitar or piano that people play? Why not drums or harp or something else? Well I went to Gravity Lounge in Charlottesville tonight and did see something else! I ended up seeing one of the coolest funkiest shows I've ever seen. Amy LaVere is this firecracker of a woman who sings and plays an upright base. She's this tiny person dancing and throwing around this huge instrument. She has a voice somewhere between Jewel and Amy Winehouse when she sings and a bit like Karen Walker from Will & Grace when she's entertaining the crowd. The guitarist played solos that brought their audience to the edge of their seats.
Her lyrics usually have an intelligent wryness about them. Check out the songs "Pointless Drinking" and "Take 'em or Leave 'em". The sound is varied around a bluesy root... ranging from country, to jazz to punk. Sometimes you even hear a little Billie Holiday in her voice, especially on some of the slower jazzier numbers.
The album doesn't quite capture the dynamics of her amazing live performance but is a gem. I haven't hit the road without it in my shuffle since the concert. Highly recommended for jazz and indie fans with a taste for something unique.
