Description
Produced by Grammy winning Mike Poole ( Patty Griffin) Old Postcard features Amelia's distinctive writing and voice and a cast of Top Shelf Nashville musicians, including John Jackson, guitars ( Dylan),Bryan Owings Drums ( Emmylou Harris), Brian Harrison Bass ( Shelby Lynn),Julie Christensen vox (Leonard Cohen),Tim Carroll guitar ( Elizabeth Cook) and Pete Finney pedal steel ( Patty Loveless) .

Home, history and family take different shapes on 'Old Postcard'. Over steadily propulsive drums and echoing guitars, the album's title track finds White looking back at the ghosts of her family, realizing that dreams that don't come true are still dreams after all.

"Big Blue Sun" is told from the perspective of a homeless man who dreads the daylight and the masses that flood in with their daily routines of normalcy. It features ethereal backing vocals from Sally Barris and gorgeous nylon-string guitar from Sergio Webb. With a haunting, noir-ish sound, "Hollow Heart" is the dark tale of a motherless child and the deep sense of longing that develops within. "River Of My Dreams" features snarling guitars, as White sings of all the crazy, mysterious, otherworldly things – flying, breathing underwater, being pulled back from Hell - which one can astonishingly accomplish in their dreams. With lines pulled straight from her father's memoirs, "Daddy Run" is a rousing anthem with a sing-along chorus.

There's a grit to the record, not just in some of the louder guitars or the world-weariness of lyrics, but also in the way the East Nashville-based singer and songwriter finds hope despite life's travails and shortcomings.
