Amy Helm This Too Shall Light CD

 

 

 

During the 'This Too Shall Light' sessions, Amy Helm was literally taken 3,000 miles out of her comfort zone - leaving the family studio in Woodstock, New York for Los Angeles' iconic United Recording Studios, the same compound where The Beach Boys recorded 'Pet Sounds' and "California Dreamin" was tracked by The Mamas & The Papas. It was there that Helm began her collaboration with Joe Henry, the three-time GRAMMY-winning producer known for his work with artists like Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello and Lizz Wright. Together, in just four days, the pair traversed decades of material, stretching from early '70s Allen Toussaint through contemporary Americana darlings the Milk Carton Kids. Coupled with originals by Helm and Henry, and a pair of tributes to the singer's late father, the ten-song collection serves as the most complete look at Amy Helm as an artist to date.
