Applewood Road: Applewood Road (180g) LP
Label: Gearbox, 2015
Applewood Road are singer-songwriters Emily Barker, Amber Rubarth and Amy Speace, who first met in Nashville in September 2014, where they wrote and recorded the song Applewood Road.
Six months later, they came back together to write twelve more songs, turning this exciting new collaboration into a full album project that has already received critical acclaim in 2016.
The trio's three-part vocal harmonies have just the right amount of edge and precision, while their finely crafted songs both tell of their personal experiences and illustrate their special gift for storytelling.
Each song was recorded live on stereo tape with Emily, Amber and Amy singing together around a microphone with minimal accompaniment. The whole concept thus goes back to the beginnings of sound and music recording.
