Press Reviews "One of the strongest records to come across my desk recently is 'One For Hank' from Amy Fisher. Her songs are full of life tested insights; her husky, weary voice seems equally influenced by Tom Waits and Linda Thompson; and her backing band featuring members of the Gear Daddies and Trailer Trash is top-notch." Jim Walsh/St.Paul Pioneer Press"Amy Fisher's new self-titled cd is filled with hurting and cheating songs...her lyrics are original and thought provoking. Uncle Jack would like her music." Ellen Hayman/producer and host of 'Conversations at the Rose Cafe' a one hour talk and music program on KFAI 90.3 FM
