Swift Silver - Swift Silver (2021)

Southern songwriters Anna Kline and John Looney are Swift Silver. Their collaboration spans ten years of exploring the great expanse of the American songbook—touring, conspiring, songwriting—fused together by the Mississippi heat, molded in the mountain air of Western North Carolina, and flung free in the hills of Kentucky bluegrass.

Recorded in Kentucky this duo has turned their attention on this new 9-cut LP to explore beyond the boundaries of their original genre. Spreading out to include some current events in their showcase & discover new insightful avenues of Southern rural music.

“Southern roots music at its finest. John can play the hell outta anything with strings and Anna has a fiery voice that’s as sweet as it is fierce. Together, they are a sight to behold with these nine songs proving that, much like the finest Kentucky bourbons, the duo’s sound has only gotten better with age.”

The CD includes 8 originals & 1 cover. There’s a little spiritual touch to Ms. Kline’s voice at times but it’s the addition of John Looney’s lead guitar that keeps the contemporary thrust lit. Between Anna (lead vocals/harmony/acoustic guitar) & John (lead & acoustic guitar) their partnership is a balanced showcase of good music performed with old-fashioned tints that are not stale but flavorful.
