Marry Waterson & Emily Barker - A Window to Other Ways (2019)

Marry Waterson & Emily Barker have announced a brand-new collaborative album - 'A Window To Other Ways' is out on March 29th via One Little Indian Records.

No strangers to collaboration, Waterson and Barker discovered an immediate kinship when they started writing together. The intriguing combination of Waterson's poetic lyrics and Barker's eclectic musicality has been shaped in the studio by musical polymath Adem Ilhan, with recording contributions from two of Barker's live band: Lukas Drinkwater (bass and guitar) and Rob Pemberton (drums). Serendipity worked her magic in bringing Waterson, Barker and Adem together.

The collection of songs pushes the boundaries of Barker and Waterson's renowned roots styles, venturing into a diverse union of genres - contemporary folk, country and soul nestle comfortably alongside lilting indie and playful blues. 'A Window To Other Ways' is the product of two revered musicians embarking upon an exciting, explorative journey, and a charmed collaboration.

Additional production on "We Don't Speak Anytime" by Bigby Waterson. String arrangements by Adem Ilhan. Recorded at Everyone Sang Studios, Stroud, England
