Praise for Letters Home

  "Letters Home is not only as good as her previous album, it is better. It is smooth and beautiful in just the right places and it sets moods. It rends the heart and shuffles and at times almost cries. It sets the bar higher, too. These songs are also personal and they too have heart and soul. "(Frank Gutch Jr.) read the full review (and sweet story) at Folk and Acoustic Music Review

  "Amy is a masterful lyricist, fully adept at using techniques and tools to create vivid imagery, crafty euphemisms and witty metaphors."(Anne-Marie Brugger, Earshot) read the full review on earshot-online.com

  "it's a precise and meticulous work, with well-crafted songs and well-chosen words... Strong and intimate, this is the music of relationships and bare hearts, stripped down to its essentials. Distance plays a big part, being away from the "one thing that can make me feel right". Don Kerr's subtle production keeps the focus on the lyrics and melodies, with just the gentlest touches of acoustic bass, brushed drums, sweet strings and real piano joining Campbell's acoustic. It's modern folk with classic touches." (Bob Mersereau, CBC) read the full review on CBC.ca

  "Amy Campbell's latest effort Letters Home is like a breath of fresh air... The songs are well crafted; each an intensely personal look at those situations that life throws at us all." (Steve Clarke "Acoustic Planet", CHES 101.5 FM)

  "Amy Campbell’s sophomore record is a tightly produced adventure in Canadiana. The results on Letters Home are sprawling and intimate; song-by-song Campbell very explicitly lays out her longing for the East Coast, weaving personal tales as well as her indisputable influence, Joni Mitchell." (Noah Siegel, NewCanadianMusic.com)

  "...one of the sweetest voices on the Canadian music scene." (Michael Rowan, Amherst Island Public Radio)

  "If you want something very cool (Go ahead!  Treat yourself!), this will do nicely."  (Frank Gutch Jr. heralds the arrival of Letters Home on vinyl in his column Music For a Rainy Day)

  Tara Thorne at The Coast gets me to say all sorts of things I wouldn't usually in her lovely little article.

From John Sakamoto's Anti-Hit List

6. AMY CAMPBELL, "The Architecture": ...A founding member of the BattleAxe Folk collective, this Newfoundland native may sound like a cross between Ani DiFranco and The Indigo Girls, but there's a sly dynamic at work here - namely a forthright admission of emotional detachment - that makes this bout of quiet deliberation something more than the sum of its influences.

November 27 , 2003 - HFX (Daily News Entertainment Supplement)

HFX hops on board for Architecture's release.
