Last week, Amy Helm visited Paste Studio in New York to preview three songs from her new album, This Too Shall Light, produced by Joe Henry with guests Birds of Chicago. The songs are “Odetta,” “The Stones I Throw,” and “Michigan.” Joe Henry fans will recognize the great “Odetta” from Henry’s 2011 album Reverie. “The Stones That I Throw” was written by Robbie Robertson and released on ATCO as a single for Levon and the Hawks, led by Amy’s father Levon Helm. The Hawks were The Band before The Band existed. “Michigan” is a Milk Carton Kids song.
She spoke about plans for the album in The Department of Tangents Podcast EP30.
