Burning Your Light EP (Vinyl)
Barcode: 809236165114
Burning Your Light is a new six-track EP of covers from the remarkable Brigid Mae Power, it follows Head Above the Water (2020) which saw her unique vocal style and music heralded in all corners. Powers ability to interpret songs is unquestionable, as is her love of the art of songwriting. She skilfully brings joy from pain which is perfectly illustrated on this new EP.
Ranging from the brittle collapse of Didnt It Rain (Songs: Ohia) through to the slings and blows of Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan and Patsy Cline, she brings hope and reverence to these classic songs.
The EP features Ill Be Here In The Morning from the late great pioneer of alt-country Townes Van Zandts essential album For The Sake Of The Song (1968), One More Cup Of Coffee hails from Bob Dylans Desire, Aretha Franklins It Aint Fair from her 1970 album This Girls In Love With You, Songs: Ohias Didnt It Rain to Leavin On Your Mind, a country standard by Patsy Cline from 1963, thats now taken to new depths of despair.
Also reworked is May Morning Dew an Irish ballad that allows Brigids voice to ululate in the best tradition of the genre; the traditional sound is brought into a new decade with its chilling ambience.
