Cool Rain

Since Capitol Records shelved Amy’s first solo recording “A Breath Of Fresh Air” in 1990, the album “Cool Rain” became her first solo release. However, it should be noted that Amy was contributing to Marc Jordan, her spouse related projects in the first half of 1990’s such as Marc Jordan’s solo albums; “C.O.W” (1990) and ‘Reckless Valentine” (1993) and/or Canadian new age / progressive instrumental group Exchange’s albums. On 1992 Exchange self-titled album, Amy performed in a beautiful duet with Marc Jordan, "Until the Last Teardrop Falls."
The album “Cool Rain” included several collaborations with her then songwriting partner, Bruce Gaitsch and was nominated for two Juno Awards (i.e. Canadian Grammy), including best songwriter and best new artist.
Just after releasing “Cool Rain”, Amy starred in a Toronto production of the long-run by the Willy Russell London Westend / Broadway musical “Blood Brothers” with David Cassidy and Michael Burgess, which opened 4 June for a 15-week run at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. Amy played the leading role of Mrs. Johnstone, the mother of the two blood brothers. She had several hurdles to cross to get the role, one of which was to get across the ocean to audition in England without a valid passport. This was her professional acting debut.
