alien9 Gonzo. Passion. The Ming Vase. Haunting and beautiful. Every listen brings a new favorite.
Do something like this again, Miss Emma. Please let the answer be yes. Please let the answer be yes! Favorite track: One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later).

Darren Douglas Danahy I should start off by stating that this record marks the introduction of Bob Dylan's music to my collection.

I can't think of a more beautiful way to get to know these impeccably written songs.

Her renditions put a spin on the tunes not unlike Cowboy Junkie's "the Trinity Session" and she's chosen tracks that work very well with her lovely voice.

The production style and instrumentation (Robyn Hitchcock appears on guitar, even) creates that elusive "good kind of melancholy" vibe. Favorite track: Simple Twist of Fate.

jae Beautiful album. Emma Swift succeeds in preserving the complexity of Dylan’s songs and at the same time manages to inflect her own nuances into these interpretations so that they breathe and shine in new ways. Favorite track: The Man In Me.

about

“Robyn Hitchcock and Wilco's Patrick Sansone guest on this nifty collection of Dylan covers, including a quick-on-the-draw 'I Contain Multitudes'." -UNCUT MAGAZINE

"There’s a Byrdsian chime here, a Carnaby Street lilt there, and pedal steel swoons bolstering Emma’s seemingly effortless vocals. Swift, like Dylan himself, contains multitudes.”
 - Jody Denberg, KUTX Austin

“An Emma Swift performance can bring you to the edge of tears, because her voice is both heartbreaking and heartbroken all at once. It takes a lot of resilience to be so vulnerable. She brings this strength and beauty to her upcoming album “Blonde On The Tracks,” a collection of her interpretations of Bob Dylan songs.”
 - Gina Frary Bacon, WFMU New York

"Australian singer-songwriter Emma Swift has recorded an album of Dylan covers titled Blonde on the Tracks which is set for release in August. And the first track she opted to release was not a familiar classic but a stunningly warm, heartfelt version of “I Contain Multitudes.” She serves it up as a hypnotic, melodic hymn, very reminiscent in style of vintage Gillian Welch, resulting in something exceptionally beautiful." - Hope Silverman, Cover Me Songs
