Press

“'These Cold and Rusted Lungs' gives us a language for baring our souls to God and pleading for His solace.”

— SUE KLINE, DISCIPLESHIP JOURNAL

“[Amy is] A female Derek Webb. …Courts’ debut LP, 'These Cold and Rusted Lungs,' is absolutely inventive within its singer/songwriter scope, polished even in its vulnerability.”

— MATT CONNER, CCM MAGAZINE

"Courts' reflections on the tough times are never self-indulgent, but rather honest reflections on humanity that simply remind us again just how much we really need God in the first place."

— Christa Banister, Christianity Today

"Amy [Courts]’s voice swells with a ringing resonance, spreading out to the most delicate of edges—a perfect contrast of power and intricacy. Her sweetly ornamented stylings add a tinge of silver lining to the shadowy undercurrents of melancholy underneath."

— MARIAH SEACREST, WRECKED FOR THE ORDINARY

“Courts’ songwriting reflects her songs in a more poetic nature - not unlike the songwriting of Christian music’s prized songwriters like Sara Groves or Cindy Morgan. …'These Cold & Rusted Lungs' should surely give Courts the attention she deserves.”

— CHRIS UNTHANK, THE BRIDGE

“In her first full length album, These Cold and Rusted Lungs, Amy Courts sounds frail, frustrated and vulnerable. She takes on massive subjects like love, heartbreak, personal demons, and the concept of a Holy yet still personal God. …But she is up to her monumental, unsettling task.”

— BOB FELBERG, PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH

“With Amy, above all, I enjoy the reach. I appreciate the gall to dig into self and expose what is there, good or bad, right or wrong, rusted lungs, mud puddle, peace.”

— INTO THE HILL

"I absolutely love this debut and think it’s one of the year’s best thus far - honest, simple tunes that are allowed to be what they are without having to add any pop radio flair to them."

— Matt Conner, Editor-in-Cheif, Soul-Audio.com

"Courts is a polished and seasoned singer who has been around the block and seems to be settling into who she is an artist with her newest offering."

— C.E. Moore, The Christian Manifesto

"Amy Courts continues to forge a path influenced by artists like Jennifer Knapp, Patty Griffin and Jonatha Brooke, but the end result is uniquely hers....These Cold and Rusted Lungs [is] a tour de force of the singer/songwriter genre."

— Randy Brandt, Al Menconi Ministries

"If you were to only pick one Christian music album to add to your collection this year, then These Cold And Rusted Lungs should be it.

— Bruce Von Stiers, BSV Reviews

"Amy is a Vocal Poet. Her turn of phrase and choice of words paints mental pictures that are clear and rich in detail."

— Just Terry, jtIndie.com

"Clearly someone has got it figured out, because they produce the most staggering melodies. Courts's (independently released) sophomore album These Cold and Rusted Lungs is brimming with honesty."

— Re:Gard Blog

"Amy is obviously gifted, versatile, and at all times passionate and honest. Every track is a dive into human experience, spiritual frailty, and a thirsty search for God."

— Lo-Fi Tribe
