Amy Speace’s “Magisterial” new LP ‘Me and the Ghost of Charlemagne,’ Available Now

Billboard, Uncut, Rolling Stone and Parade among praise for "yet another masterpiece” album from Speace (Folk Radio UK)

Amy Speace wanted to capture a nakedly honest look at the journey of all dreamers, and she did just that on her seventh studio album ‘Me and the Ghost of Charlemagne’, out today (9.6). Recorded during the last days of her pregnancy with her son -- who was born a month after her 50th birthday -- ‘Charlemagne’ is an album overflowing with stories chock full of dreams colliding with reality and characters making sense of their lives.

Throughout this 11-track collection, Speace’s exquisitely cinematic lyricism and lucent, shimmering delivery frame her perfectly crafted, Americana-styled story-songs. Billboard says that Speace “stuns” on ‘Me and the Ghost of Charlemagne,’ while Uncut agrees that Speace “excels on stellar album… [it’s] sweeping in reach, magisterial in design… Speace brings nuance to velvety valedictory settings,” and Parade echoes the “poignant [and] gorgeously rendered” standout tracks.

Speace is bringing her international headlining tour to AmericanaFest next week and is touring throughout the remainder of the year. Complete list of dates below.
