Emily Smith - Traveller's Joy

A leading light of the contemporary Scottish folk scene, Emily Smith’s powerful, clear vocals have gained her award winning, worldwide recognition. As a songwriter she has been likened to ‘a Scottish Joni Mitchell’, but as a collector is equally adept at presenting fresh and evocative interpretations of traditional songs. Traveller’s Joy, features songs written on the road alongside traditional material sourced from the travelling people of Scotland. Covers include ‘Waltzing’s For Dreamers’ by Richard Thompson, whom Emily opened for on his UK tour.
