After releasing two albums on a major label, singer-songwriter Amy Correia (Lakeville, MA) goes DIY for her third full-length You Go Your Way. The bass ukelele is her main axe, a down-home instrument that stand its ground even during the orchestrated bits of the songs.
Correia sounds like a folkie Cyndi Lauper, with a rough but captivating phrasing. Lyrics are her forte. The angry but funny Powder Blue Trans Am about trying to catch a man or exposing the hidden fears of a loud-mouth chick City Girl, she is able to paint a lively picture of the song's protagonist.
You Go Your Way is nominated in three categories for the 11th Annual Independent Music Awards. After succeeding to raise over $35,000 to cover the costs for creating this album, Amy Correia proves that she's got it right and the major labels, once again, got it wrong.
You Go Your Way is a self-released album. Buy it from her website.
