@7:59 Amy Correia performing 'Powder Blue Trans Am' from You Go Your Way
Grooveable Feast - Amy Correia - Episode 7 from Grooveable Feast on Vimeo.
Recently profiled artist Amy Correia has been a heavy rotation of mine for several years now. I keep finding myself coming back to her unique voice and her personal stories. Even with starting my music blog and keeping a look out for new sounds, it is You Go Your Way that remains in my car stereo. She just has a wonderful way of bringing you into her world and telling you exactly how she feels. In the past, I've felt her bond with her uncle through his bike ('the Bike' - Carnival Love) and can imagine the crush she felt on the local boy ('He drives it' - Carnival Love). Even stories that don't seem autobiographical, she can connect you on a personal level, such as 'Hold On' (Lakeville), where you feel the pain of a convict who used and lost being her child.
For this week's Song of the Week: 'Powder Blue Trans Am' she goes beyond what is normally shared. Not just inviting you along on a personal story, but also sharing her frustrations. You learn what she's wearing, driving, feeling, wanting, and loathing. These are details that rarely come through on a record.
Can't Get A Man and I'm way past 21
I could make love to anyone of you in here
I'm just not sure I'd have much fun
I've been sucking on a Tic Tac
Condoms in my purse
Knocking back another and I couldn't feel any worse
Bar Stool fools flirting with disasters
Things they never change & I feel like getting plastered

(also featured on SoundCloud.com is 'Love Changes Everything'
Be sure to check her out on this tour. It should be a great time especially since she has a great bond with her fans who supported her sans record label for her new album!
The most exciting shows appear to be
More dates are expected for the MidWest including a stop in Pittsburgh!

Awesum title! Trans Ams rock! With a title like this, though, she should rock a little harder. More like bitchin camaro.
