Format:Audio CD
Emily Smith is a singer~songwriter who works in the folk idiom, and is fairly traditional in her approach. My first reaction to her, some years ago, was that she has the voice of an angel. My opinion has not changed.
"too long away", her third and newest album, picks up where "A Different Life" left off. A mix of traditional songs and her own make up the album. As usual, Emily surrounds herself with some of the finest folk musicians, and careful listening will reveal subtleties in the music that reward multiple listens. Emily's voice, as always, is pure joy to listen to; she has a clarity that is mind-blowing, a scary ability to convey emotion and feeling, and vocal nuances that most professional singers would kill for. There is also a spiritual quality that flows through all of her work that is a reward unto itself. Put on the headphones, push 'start', and kick back in a comfy chair, and Emily will take you to some amazing places.
This is grand stuff, and recommended without any qualification.

Having come across Emily Smith on the latest Transatlantic Sessions I wanted to hear more, and certainly was not disappointed. This is a CD delightful to the ear and strongly recommended to anyone who likes traditional music played and sung in a modern performance: excellent.

Stunning
Emily Smith voice is just stunning. This album is equally as good as her latest release. A must buy for you female folk lovers. She is up there with Cara Dillon, if not better.

Excellent
Yet another excellent CD by the lovely & talented Emily Smith. It's worth mentioning that her husband, Jamie McClennan is also hugely talented and his CD " In Transit" is superb.
