Amy MacDonald is that proverbial old head on young shoulders, a Scottish singer-songwriter who, despite her tender 19 years, writes songs with the grace, wisdom, and proficiency of one with a score more on the clock. As influenced by the Libertines as by any venerable old folk hand, the eleven songs on This Is the Life combine a traditional, acoustic folk-rock sound with a youthful spirit and self-assured lyrics that veer between the observational and the confessional. 'Poison Prince' is a jagged guitar strut dedicated to some Doherty-like bad boy, a song every bit as pathos-laden as the Libertines at their doomed, romantic best with a closing treatise to find 'An upbeat song/So we can dance the night away,' while 'Mr. Rock & Roll' begins as a wryly withering jibe at some perennial party animals, but by the chorus has softened into a subtle, touching tale of human coupling. MacDonald's age doesn't seem to have been an impediment--'Youth of Today,' reportedly written when she was 15, is one of the better tracks here, while 'Footballer's Wife' is a clear-headed attack on vapid Barbie-doll celebrity that suggests this girl is very much on the right track. 'Rolling Stone, here I come, watch out everyone/I'm singing my song,' she sings on 'Let's Start a Band.' Let that be a warning to you. --Louis Pattison

I would describe her voice as a mix between Natalie Merchant & The Cranberries. Every now and again it reminded me of a calmer Alanis Morissette.
It's bright and very instrumental. The CD begins with a song that sounds like waking up in the morning and ends beautifully with a sign off song "The Road to Home."
Very folk, inspirational, and you can't help but tap your toes to every song. It makes me think of the music you hear in Starbucks while drinking your coffee and ... Read More

I got this cd in the mail the same day I had to drive to another town on business. So I popped it into my car's cd player and hit the road
I listened to it the whole way through, and the good thing about it is that the songs were nice enough that I never felt the urge to skip over one or turn the cd off. The bad news is that when I got to where I was going, and got out of the car, I couldn't remember one song title or even one line or phrase from the entire cd.
So I guess ... Read More

Amy MacDonald's newest CD "This is the Life" is an creative, self expressive album that mixes various genres to develop a unique sound that is folk, mixed with rock and then mixed with up-beat welch vocals. Her writing style is "catchy" and holds you tight from one song to the next. The tracks are laid down to where you enter into a releam where each song takes you through one door after another door while giving you one journey after another journey. In basic terms once you start listening to this ... Read More
