Amber Cross You Can Come In

Amber Cross grew up in Maine surrounded by gospel (her father is a preacher, and Mom plays piano in church) and has released her debut album You Can Come In to great critical acclaim.Comparisons to Iris Dement abound, and while You Can Come In could almost be a classed as a bluegrass album, Cross' Appalachian rootsy sound is supplemented by a country vibe with drums and steel guitar that easily crosses the boundaries.An old-timey feel, and clearly a contender for fans of Rounder or Smithsonian recordings, but the feistiness of Amber Cross' delivery will ensure a broad appeal for the 'little girl with the big voice'.
