Amy Nielsen – Distant Memories

If you like soulful country, country rock, or folk rock – or a really good mix of all three – you might like singer/songwriter Amy Nielsen, whose first CD, Distant Memories, was produced in 2005 and can be found via at various online outlets.  Listing Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash among her musical influences, Nielsen’s music might fall into the category of what is sometimes called “alternative country.” You can take a listen to excerpts from a number of the tracks from Distant Memories here.
