In AMEN, there is a lot of experimentation with different forms of southern Black American music. I wanted to lean heavily on my Texas, Louisiana, and Creole roots in this project. There were many days spent with my ancestors during the writing of this album, and I’m eternally grateful for the music they sang to me during our time together..

I yell this to the heavens, the universe, and my family that has crossed to the ancestral land. -- Joy Guidry Related links: The Hill Street Country Club: website | Instagram
