Amy Correia at Mo Pitkin's Friday
Amy Correia will play Mo Pitkin's this Friday. Her second album Lakeville from 2004 came out of material she was using in her live set. Amy is trying to start over after being tossed to the wayside by Capital when her first album did not have the commercial success they had hoped. “The first one, I had what seemed like limitless resources — major labels, seven different producers, money. This record I had no money, no label, no resources,” she said. Amy's voice is from another era and glows with an unpolished beauty. After seeing that she is playing Mo Pitkin's, I rediscovered the song "Coney Island, USA" which is about falling asleep on the F train after a late night drinking and waking up in Coney Island. I liked that song the first time I heard it and that was before I woke up one cold winter morning down on Neptune Avenue. That sucked but now I can really relate.
