Beautifully uplifting and deeply personal, Amy Speace has made the most revealing album of her career with <i>There Used to Be Horses Here</i>. Recorded in Nashville in just four days, the award-winning songwriter pulls directly from her own childhood memories, coming of age in New York City, and losing a parent while learning to become one. In its most powerful moments, the album sets Speace's majestic voice to symphonic arrangements, yet her songwriting remains intimate and emotional. As a fan and friend of the Nashville band The Orphan Brigade, she invited its three members to collaborate as songwriters and co-producers, inspired by their persistent rhythms and sweeping sonic palette. Remembering her vocal sessions, she says simply, "While I was singing over what those guys were playing, it made me feel like I was flying." While many of the subjects are heavy, <i>There Used to Be Horses Here</i> isn't a sad record. Instead it's a direct reflection of the 12 months between her son's first birthday and the loss of her dad, propelled by a playwright's eye for detail and a performer's gift of vocal delivery. Speace's many champions from the folk world have included Judy Collins, Mary Gauthier, and Kathy Mattea, to name only a few.
