Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo sing haunting folk melodies for cold winter days

I heard this song, this voice, and I loved it for it’s bleak, sad, sound. Holding just a hint of one of my favorite Country singers, Dolly Parton, but in a lower key and more modern tone, Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo are a trio of young women who perform beautiful folk music along with Ms. Barker. The four have been onstage at Glastonbury, End of The Road Festival and The Cambridge Folk Festival. Those of you in the UK will possibly recognize this song from Wallander a BBC 1 series that stars Kenneth Branagh, featuring a version of this song. This single will be released in February and for now you can pick up this lovely cover of Neil Young’s “Look Out For My Love” right here on this little blog. Look for the album soon! Details to follow, of course, m’dears, xoxo
