Emily Mae Winters
High Romance
EMW003
★★★★

FAST becoming a rising star on the UK Americana scene Emily Mae Winters has been compared to great artists in that cross over the folk/country genres like Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris. In this her second album Winters demonstrates her song writing skills with wholly new compositions covering themes of travelling, growing up, following your dreams as well as standard love songs.

Winters’s voice is well suited to these themes starting with the country Ballard style through to Come Live in my Heart and Pay No Rent through to the more full band style of Wildfire and the more acoustic Folky One of Those Days.
This is an intriguing album by an artist determined to develop her own style which may not be neatly categorised as folk, blues or country.
