Nora Guthrie – Emily’s Illness 7″

Description

Originally released in 1967; Nora Guthrie’s ultra-rare “Emily’s Illness” is a lost gem of songcraft originally released in 1967, now reissued in the same 7″ vinyl format (b/w “Home Before Dark”) as the original. Featuring the pure vocals of the 17-year-old daughter of Woody Guthrie, “Emily’s Illness” was written by Eric Eisner (The Strangers) and impeccably arranged by Artie Schroeck. A romantic collaboration of psychedelia, pop, and acid-folk, but informed by the harmonic and rhythmic developments of João Gilberto and jazz.
