AMOS LEE
Amos Lee returns to Portland for the first time since his last sold-out appearance in early 2007, to celebrate the release of his third record, Last Days at the Lodge. The album follows his first two critically acclaimed and tremendously successful records: Supply and Demand from 2006 and his self-titled debut from 2005.
Last Days at the Lodge finds Lee honing and emphasizing all the things that earned him his strong fanbase from the get go: His singing is rich, direct and confident, the songs are sharply crafted, the melodies memorable and crisp, the lyrics focused. The production is fuller and less sparse, but the atmosphere remains uncluttered.
Lees first two records combined have sold over a half million copies worldwide, and the critics have been effusive over his achievements: NPRs Tom Moon claimed that Lees voice triangulates Bill Withers, Terry Callier and Ray Charles, while People called him something special in their critics choice, four-star review of the second record. Entertainment Weekly said Lee crafts concise, soulful songs, and Paste felt his sound conjures intimations of a neo-Sam Cooke laced with Donny Hathaway, while Billboard hailed that Lee proves that real emotion and true artistry are not always wasted on youth. USA Today said that Lee artfully walks the line that divides sensitivity from sentimentality, and applies his soulful voice with equal grace.
