Amber Casares, "Can I Go Home With You?"



Amber Casares' debut album features true to life self-written lyrics with the entire spectrum of the highs and lows of emotions when a relationship ends. It Begins with one last winter night, the speculative fear and denial of losing a loved one to another woman..and ends with "Can I go Home with You" where a woman reaches acceptance, but not in a constructive way. The 'rebound' one-night stand wouldn't be a cliche if it didn't happen often.

With a style remniscient of Emmy Lou Harris, Patty Loveless, and Tammy Wynette, her voice brings empathy and the listener gladly accompanies her on the ride to those sardonic threads of loss and grief.
As uncomfortable as it makes you feel, It is poignant, sublime, and satisfying.
Gifted with natural harmonious melodies, she can carry a tune with the best of 'em - past and contemporary, and proves she is an outstanding female vocalist in her own right.She shines amidst her opus of pain, her dossier of distress; the result of a torturous relationship with a creative genius. She is perfect for the country western genre and it is evident. It's not all a downward spiral or a roller coaster to hell, but a reflection of a tenacious woman's spirit repossessing itself through creative expression. "One Day I'll say Who?" is a sarcastically spunky song of redemption and upright femininity.
