Alt.Culture.Guide: Greg Dulli – Greg Dulli’s Amber Headlights (2005)
As frontman for ’90s-era critical darlings the Afghan Whigs, Greg Dulli was responsible for bringing a measure of soul to a rather barren alt-rock landscape. While most bands of the decade – particularly those from the over-hyped Seattle scene – acted like they had never heard of [...]

Amber Headlights is a collection of songs, with strong appeal, not
just to those who love Greg Dulli’s work from the Afghan Whigs and the
Twilight Singers, but to anyone who likes a strong, well constructed
song, that, whilst being technically brilliant, does not lose sight of
the fact that music is about feelings and emotions and is always [...]

RTE.ie – 4 Stars
Shelved after the death of his filmmaker friend Ted Demme in 2002, ‘Amber Headlights’ shows that even Greg Dulli’s unfinished business is better than most artists’ completed albums.
While Dulli’s first Twilight Singers record in 2000 swapped amps for atmospherics, this one – worked on between spring 2001 and the following January – [...]

Amber Headlights is the first solo record from Greg Dulli, ex-singer/songwriter of the criminally underrated grunge/soul outfit The Afghan Whigs, and founder of the excellent (and still together) Twilight Singers.

After the split of the Afghan Whigs it was always going to be interesting to see where Greg Dulli was going to go to next. When the Twilight Singers released their first album and then followed it up with the rather excellent Blackberry Belle everything in the world of Dulli must looked [...]

Originally put on hold following the death of his close friend, the film director Ted Demme in 2002, Amber Headlights collects songs recorded after the 2001 demise of Greg Dulli’s soul-grunge hoodlums The Afghan Whigs and before the gospel-hued Twilight SIngers project became his day job. That it should be a document of a [...]

Amber Headlights – Free New Mexican

Terrell’s tune-up, 02/10/2006
Amber Headlights by Greg Dulli. This nine-song EP, clocking in at less than 35 minutes, sounds more like the Afghan Whigs than Dulli has in years. While his current band, the Twilight Singers, explores more layered, dreamier sounds, most of these songs offer that trademark angsty, Whigsy guitar — descended as much from [...]
