Taking inspiration from soul greats, Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, and folk legends, John Prine and Dave Van Ronk, Amos Lee directs his music with a spirit and presence rooted in American tradition. Amos delivers a unique brand of folk-soul music that aims to unite, uplift, and inspire. The "folk" side is reflected in his nimble acoustic guitar playing and the intimacy of his live performances. The "soul" strain comes through in the engaging song-poetry of his lyrics and in what the Philadelphia Inquirer described as his "easygoing voice" and "raw, unedited emotion."
Amos Lee, his eponymous Blue Note debut, was released in March 2005. The eleven tracks, all composed by Amos, were produced by Lee Alexander and recorded by Danny Kopelson in July 2004 during two weeks of sessions at The Magic Shop in New York City. Among the album's choice cuts are the atmospheric opener "Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight" and "Arms of a Woman," a classic triplet ballad that could have been covered in an earlier era of soul.
