Emily Smith: Echoes – COMPACT DISCS

Echoes is unshakeably Scottish but with farther, wider horizons. From remembered ballads like the murdery Twa Sisters and the mythical King Orfeo to contemporary but no less timeless songs such as Bill Caddick’s gorgeous John O’Dreams and Darrell Scott’s the Open Door, Emily’s voice eases tired ears and lifts knackered souls with it’s simple beauty.
