Post Description

Emily Smith Traiveller’s Joy was one of my albums of the year, although I’m currently having a hard time reconciling that it came out three years ago. In the 2012 Folk Awards she was nominated twice, but I think genuinely unfortunate to come up against June Tabor & Oysterband’s Ragged Kingdom. If you’ve been paying attention recently, you’ll know the success of that collaroration swept aside all other comers and won in the two categories Emily also appeared, albeit with a solo win for June as best singer. But any other year and it might have been different. Her Sweet Lover Of Mine is still amongst the toppermost of my folk poppermost, but now there’s a new CD, Echoes, which turns out to be the best of Emily Smith yet.
