Waitin' on Sunday (Buddy Jake)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 and Paula Held. 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.
