REVIEW
One for Norah Jones fans? Certainly, but this session had a potency all its own. The singers Emily Barker, Amber Rubarth and Amy Speace could not have kept things simpler. Out of a back-to-basics gathering in Nashville came first a single song, then, a little later, a flawless set that has to be the most haunting release of the past year. The original lyrics and melodies here, recorded around a single microphone, are unfailingly seductive and wistful; the vocal harmonies and the spartan accompaniment are exquisitely laid-back. (Clive Davis) --The Sunday Times

There s a moreish magic to the harmonies of this country-folk trio that recalls the vintage appeal of the Everlys and the Andrews. It helps that the voices of Australian Emily Barker and her American friends Amy Speace and Amber Rubarth (all three successful, solo singer-songwriters) have been toed together in Nashville s Welcome to 1979 studio, where the engineers aim to bottle sound like fine whiskey with the oak and charcoal of their super cool analogue gear. Musically they keep everything simple: guitar, bass, banjo, piano and one naughty scuzz of rockabilly electric. Before studying the sleeve notes , I d assumed the thirteen lovely songs were retro gems that Barker and co had unearthed. But it turns out they're all new songs penned by the singers with help from a few friends including Adam Levy (who s written for Norah Jones and Tracy Chapman). The standout track is the gorgeous title song from which they take their name: supported by the heel-dragging slide of Telisha Williams upright bass, it s a slow, dreamy drift through an old-time landscape of dirt tracks, silver stars and tin roofs on which the three women s voices twist and curl together like tumbling purple leaves they describe. They savour each note until it melts int he mouth. With its easygoing, lost-classic charm, Applewood Road is probably destined to be the middle class dinner party album of 2016, but it deserves to be heard beyond the clatter of cutlery.

Trio bask in Nashville s country vibes. Australian-raised UK-based Emily Barker is a prolific talent, flitting from her solo recordings to collaborations with the Red Clay Halo and Vena Portae, composing film and TV soundtracks and her touring mini-venue Folk In A Box. Applewood Road is her latest project, an all-female trio with fellow singer-songwriters Amber Rubarth and Amy Speace. Written and recorded in Nashville, where the three first met, it s a stunning country showcase of three gorgeous but markedly different voices. The key to its success is that it never runs too sweet. For every ounce of sugar, such as the title track, there s a slaty, lusty counterbalance - Honey Won t You, for instance, or the sourness of the banjo on Sad Little Tune. It sets them beautifully in the tradition of strong, sad, deep-loving country women. (Laura Barton) --Q Magazine
