Amy Rigby Underrated singer songwriter

i was digging into the archives to check out his old Breeders reviews, and the one for Last Splash (and the one for the Amps!) i found a little off-putting...

He's got some issues.

I need to listen to the new Amy Rigby album some more.

Didn't realize this, but Diary of a Mod Housewife was released for the first time on vinyl several years ago, and Rigby will sign it on request. Nice to find out - I was going to buy this for a relative after recommending it and realizing it wasn't streaming anywhere.

I get the free version of her Substack and see that she and her husband Wreckless Eric are going to be moving from the Catskills in NY to England. I think she also has been working on a new album that will be out soon.

she's been working as a bartender i think? i know my brother sees those guys around.

so if she has been working as a bartender: yes, she is underrated.

i came to her albums only a couple of years ago and i love them! she should make a duet album with courtney barnett.

good interview.

Just saw her play a great house concert in R.I. on Saturday. Eric didn't join her this time. She got very emotional, knowing she would soon be leaving a lot of friends behind.
I've seen her play this same place about 4-5 times, and the last three times she read an excerpt from her Girl to City memoir (she's working on a sequel). All three times she read the same story, about one of the first friends she met in NYC — a guy named Bob who loved Lou Reed and egg creams.

BTW the new songs she debuted sounded great. Looking forward to the new album.

I have to say she's underrated because I can count on one hand how many people I've ever heard in life (not in print) mention her name. Which is a real shame because Diary should connect with EVERY generation, it's basically what was starting to unfold for everyone I pretty much knew in NYC before the pandemic hit. (I had the album for years but barely played it until then and was like "holy shit, this is otm")

yah, it was definitely a pandemic fave for me.
