“Songs so heartfelt, pointed and shapely that by now her marginality is an ageist outrage – she’s writing more consistently than anyone in Nashville and finding musicians who know it"
**** (Mojo)

14 original songs of hope, humour, cynicism and survival, played with spirit and style by Rigby and a supportive cast of musicians including Duane Jarvis (Lucinda Williams), Rick Plant (Buddy & Julie Miller), Steve Goulding (Mekons), Dave Jacques and Paul Griffith (John Prine). Todd Snider duets with Amy on the title song.

This release is Amy’s fourth solo album, and her first release on Spit and Polish. Amy’s previous releases have all been met with critical acclaim and led to her sharing stages with Warren Zevon, Bob Mould and Billy Bragg.

Amy was named Songwriter of the Year by Spin magazine in the US.

Amy’s songs have been covered by Ronnie Spector, Maria Doyle Kennedy and Laura Cantrell (check out “Don’t Break The Heart” on Laura’s latest album).
