Emily Duff - Born on the Ground (2020)

Called the perfectly cool combo of Lucinda Williams meets Patti Smith, Emily Duff’s street-smart poetry and vocal style conjure moods & images that seduce the listener to visit emotional vistas that entice and beguile. Her SWEET & SOUR ROCK AND ROLL WITH A GREAT BIG HIT OF COUNTRY SOUL digs deep, weaving a patchwork of sin, tragedy, romance and regret that lies at your feet begging to be mended.

Emily replaced Jeff Buckley as lead singer for Gary Lucas’ Gods & Monsters and had the honour of opening for Bob Dylan & Paul Simon at Jones Beach Amphitheatre with her band, Eudora. Her debut solo record “Go Tell Your Friends” was released in 2015 and follow up “Maybe In The Morning” (2017) received 5 stars in Country Music UK Magazine. 2019 saw the release of “Hallelujah Hello”, recorded at Fame, produced by John Gifford III and featuring an All-Star Band of veteran Muscle Shoals, Alabama musicians including members of the original Fame Gang. Emily is working on her next album with producer Eric Ambel (Bottle Rockets, Steve Earle, Yahoos, Del Lords, Blue Mountain). Born On The Ground by Emily Duff is a collection of Nine “love” songs that capture 9 different break-ups from Emily’s past.

Born on the Ground is a luxurious 20/20 hindsight, look back without anger for the year 2020. “I wanted to examine former wounds through the mature lens of time with self-confidence, faith and the wisdom of motherhood and marriage. On my own from a very young age, I grew up without positive role models for relationships and learned from my mistakes to understand where true love & happiness lives for me today. Those ideas were definitely born on the ground cause that’s where I was left to figure it all out and when you’re born on the ground, there’s really only one way to go…or is there?” ~ Emily Duff.
