Originally released in 2018. This is a brand-new US version of Applewood Road's rapturously received 2016 debut album -- featuring the honey-soaked harmonies and exquisite songwriting of the trio in all its glory, with the addition of an exclusive bonus 7" single. The single contains the band's heart melting rendition of REM's "Losing My Religion," on the A Side, backed with "My Dear Companion," both recorded live at their sensational Union Chapel show in November 2016. Applewood Road is Emily Barker, Amber Rubarth, and Amy Speace. In September 2014, three songwriters met for the first time in a cafe in East Nashville. By the next morning, they had put the finishing touches to their first song, "Applewood Road," which they recorded live to tape at Nashville's all analogue studio, Welcome to 1979. The song's nostalgic air, along with the clear, sparse arrangement of three vocals accompanied by double bass, drew immediate positive response, and they decided to expand the idea into a full album. Six months later, they reconvened to write, rehearse and record songs for the self-titled album Applewood Road. The songs were again performed live around a single microphone at Welcome to 1979 and recorded to 2-track tape with minimal accompaniment from some of Nashville's finest session players, including Telisha Williams, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Josh Day, Fats Kaplin, and Jabe Beyer.
