Amy Black (American singer)

In December 2018, Black's original song, "Without You", was included on the soundtrack of the Clint Eastwood film, The Mule.

In January 2017, Black recorded an album of original soul music and several classics in Memphis, Tennessee with grammy-nominated producer, Scott Bomar (also the leader of the Memphis-based band, The Bo-Keys.) Players on the album included Hi Rhythm Section, the Rev. Charles Hodges, Leroy "Flick" Hodges, and Howard Grimes, along with guitarist Bobby Manuel. The album, titled MEMPHIS was released on June 2, 2017. It featured the single, "The Blackest Cloud".

In June 2015 Black released The Muscle Shoals Sessions, produced by Lex Price and recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the area where both of her parents were born and raised. The album features Rock and Roll Hall of Fame sideman, Spooner Oldham on keyboard and Regina and Ann McCrary of the McCrary Sisters on background vocals. The album consists of primarily classic covers originally recorded in Muscle Shoals, and three of Black's originals.

In 2015, Black relocated to Nashville, Tennessee from Boston, Massachusetts as positive critical reviews in national publications, and an extensive touring schedule, helped her career gain momentum on a national level.

The Muscle Shoals Sessions, Black's third full-length album released in June 2015, also garnered a positive critical reception, with The Boston Globe choosing it as a "best local album of 2015", writing that it "showcases Black's range as a skillful interpreter." Elmore Magazine stated: "to showcase her true potential as a bluesy, R&B hitter, Amy Black had to go home.... Black's soulful chops shine." Blues in Britain magazine also praised Black's "deeply soulful voice that melds elements of Dusty Springfield, Mavis Staples, and Alberta Hunter."

In February 2014, Black released her second album of mostly originals, This is Home produced by Lex Price and featuring guitar playing by Will Kimbrough and Oliver Wood of the Wood Brothers.

In March, 2013, Black released her first live album Amy Black Live at Johnny D's.

Black reformed the band in 2010, adding electric guitar and dropping the “Red Clay Rascals” moniker to perform as "Amy Black."

In late 2010, Black collaborated with producer Lorne Entress on her first solo album, One Time. Released in March 2011, the album features nine of Black's original songs and three cover songs. Nashville-based bluegrass player Stuart Duncan played fiddle and mandolin on the album.

In 2008, Black began singing publicly at open mic nights in the Boston area. She formed the band Amy Black and the Red Clay Rascals, an acoustic roots music ensemble, and began to play at Boston area venues. The group released their self-titled debut album in 2009 which primarily included classic covers by country legends including Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, and John Prine.
