Amy Levere She played rockabilly hellcat Wanda Jackson in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line, turned up alongside Christina Ricci and Samuel L. Jackson in Black Snake Moan, and worked as a tour guide at Sun Studios. But Memphian Amy LaVere is a singer first, who specializes in a dark and dreamy country-blues-jazz blend. Her album Anchors & Anvils was produced by Jim Dickinson, who's done the same for the Replacements and Big Star and who's said that LaVere can "triple slap the double bass like Willie Dixon on steroids." She plays Milkboy Coffee in Ardmore at 7:30 tonight. Here's a clip of "Killing Him," in which a woman murders her husband of 30 years, and lives to regret it.
