Production
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.

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]
