Concert Review - The Amy Correia Trio - June 21st, Sewell NJ Gloucester County Summer Series in Atkinson Park
I've been a fan of Amy Correia for about 10 years now. She had silently been lingering on my Must See Live list for years now. After a child-shortened(mine) show back in May, I was able to completely fulfill my quest, and watch an entire Amy Correia live show at the Gloucester County Summer Series in Atkinson Park, Sewell NJ.
Considering she's amongst my personal top 10 most listened to artists, it was incredible to see her twice this summer once in a coffee shop and again at a cool park hillside venue. The 12 song set covered the whole gambit, songs from all 3 albums, a brand new song, and a cover.
Throughout the show she wove stories of her travels, making albums, and song and personal muse. She told of growing up in Lakeville, Mass. Moving to from Manhattan to California to make another album , ironically Lakeville. Finally of her fan supported current album You Go Your Way.
The muse was interesting as she mentioned writing 'Love Is' on the way to a gig, how 'Powder Blue Trans Am' was not meant to be autobigraphical, but 'Carolina Rail' is. Finally, picking up from her Phoenixville show, she talked more about 'Blind River Boy'. "Anyone ever heard of the Wolf River?"
(EDITOR NOTE: I had to look this up as I was afraid I messed it up in my recent post. The Wolf River goes past Memphis and feeds into the Mississippi River)
Amy had the crowds full attention for 'Blind River Boy', which was beautifully sung with the park & trees backdrop. On 'Carolina Rail', Todd Erk played a sweet Bass line, while Amy looked like she was having a blast singing, showing off the pipes.
The most intriguing part of the set was Amy Correia covering Neil Young's 'For the Turnstiles' from On The Beach
the third album of the Ditch Trilogy. She clarified the song was not a tribute to Neil or the Album, but to the concept of The Ditch. To quote wikipedia
"In the text about the only #1 single of his life, "Heart of Gold
," Young states: "This song put me in the middle of the road. Travelling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there.""
