New York, NY (Top40 Charts) In celebration of her forthcoming tour with her band The Handsome Strangers supporting Anders Osborne, Amy Helm has released a stunning live video shot in her home of Woodstock, NY. Rolling Stone Country premiered the video for her live version of Sam Cooke's "
Good News" and said "While Helm's performance spotlights her raw, organic approach to the tune, it also carries the freewheeling spirit of Cooke's original."
Last summer, Amy Helm released her critically-acclaimed solo debut Didn't It Rain via Entertainment One Music. The album was embraced by the likes of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Relix, Rolling Stone and firmly established her as a solo artist.
While Didn't It Rain was her first official album as a solo artist, Helm has been making music most of her life. She's already won widespread praise as a singer, songwriter and live performer, first as a member of the celebrated alt-country collective Ollabelle and subsequently for her extensive work with her father, musical icon Levon Helm, who passed away in 2012.
To kick off 2016, Helm, along with her band the Handsome Strangers, have announced a US tour supporting Anders Osborne.
