"...absolutely beautiful." Fred Schmale, www.realrootscafe.com
Waitin’ On Sunday was voted #7 for 2009 by Rein Van Den Berg, a reviewer for No Depression, Johnny's Garden and Rootsville.be
"Amanda Pearcy notes she's "too country to be Americana and too Americana to be country," and she's right according to Waitin' on Sunday, which joins the recent harvest of releases from such late-life female artists as Mary Gauthier. A voice filled with twang, and songs by turns yearning ("Guess the Sun's Comin' Up") and introspective ("Fatherless Son"), earn Pearcy her seat in the well-populated ranks of Austin singer-songwriters. Kudos for the gorgeous packaging and vintage photos of Pearcy's ancestors." Margaret Moser, The Austin Chronicle
"Amanda Pearcy’s background has provided her with rich material for her songs... It’s no wonder that Pearcy’s story has developed into classic, southern ballads...a collection of introspective country-folk ballads coupled by a backdrop of Pearcy’s soft, fluid vocals which showcase a beautiful representation of Pearcy’s raw and earthy soul....filled with earnest songwriting and moving singing, which is refreshing and too good to pass up." Bianetth Valdez, Austin's Jupiter Index Web Magazine
“It smacks of authenticity and a bit of road weary
living. Something that should resonate with most of us in these times
when the road of life is anything but smooth.” Dan Alloway, “Folk Fury”, KTEP-FM, El Paso, Texas
"Amanda Pearcy's debut CD, "Waitin' On Sunday", is one of those CDs that
takes a lifetime to create. It's a deeply personal CD from a
singer/songwriter who can share her joys and sorrows in a way that makes
you thankful for the experience. Her vocal style is full, authentic,
confident and melodic while still being thoroughly grounded in
south-central Texas." Calvin Powers,
Taproot Radio
"...Amanda Pearcy should be considered as a fresh generation within the Americana scene that this Southern state has to offer...Amanda bases her songs purely upon her own merits, either personally, or including the history of her immediate family...2009 is now already one of the richest music years. Hardly have I seen such a magnificent range of recordings within one individual year. However, without taking some modesty into consideration, I am convinced that this album will end high within my personal preferences. Why? Simply because this is a pure debut, full of integrity, where everything falls into place. Nice that this young songstress comes from Texas, apparently their musical source hasn’t dried entirely. It’s authentic and refreshing...and certainly to be noted for your personal wish list." Rein van den Berg, No Depression, Johnny's Garden, rootsville.be
From a live performance review: "Amanda is musically somewhere between Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton to my ears. Her mood is all Emmylou, but her voice has some Dolly in it. If Lisa Hannigan was raised in the South, not in Ireland, she'd probably sound like Amanda. ...Amanda obviously knows country music, and plays it straight, but the stories lean toward the outlaw category...a solid performer and songwriter..."
