Amber Headlights is an album by Greg Dulli, released in 2005.[5][6]
Production
[edit]In 2001, Dulli started to work on the follow-up to The Twilight Singers' debut album Twilight as Played by The Twilight Singers. However, the death of his close friend Ted Demme in January 2002 led him to decide to start a new project in tribute to Demme that would eventually become Blackberry Belle.[7][8] The song "Get the Wheel" became "Follow You Down" on Blackberry Belle. Three years later, Dulli decided to release the songs on his own label, Infernal Recordings.
Critical reception
[edit]Amber Headlights was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 55 based on 9 reviews.[1]
Billboard wrote that the album "harks back to the denser guitar rock of the Afghan Whigs."[9]
