Soaring…thats how the collective voice of Heather Scott and Taylor Holland make me feel when their voices join together in the chorus of this take on Joni Mitchell’s tune “River”.
The cover comes at an opportune moment for me here in Vermont, as snow is curling off the roof outside my window and the rivers are damned up with chunks of ice the size of my Subaru. Warmth and fleeting moments of gorgeous, weightless floating. A feeling we have come to feel again and again when Hawthorn sings. Its as if they are singing directly for you.
The arrangement is built out with sparse and beautiful keys and excellent, emotive guitar lines.
Breathe this one in.
