BOWEN * YOUNG Release Tender Cover of Joni Mitchell’s Holiday Classic ‘River’
BOWEN * YOUNG have released a beautiful and tender cover of Joni Mitchell’s stirring holiday classic, ‘River’.
You can listen to the track here
BOWEN * YOUNG comment, “As a duo, we very rarely sing sad love songs. And as far as songs go, there is no perfecting perfection. Joni Mitchell’s version is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The longer we live, the more aware we become of the fact that the holidays are a very difficult time for some people. And sometimes you just need something you can cry to.”
The track follows the release of a new, electrified version of their anthemic track ‘Hair Of The Dog’, which features a guest appearance from award-winning UK singer / songwriter, Kezia Gill. Watch the video here.
After crossing paths at the Highways festival at Royal Albert Hall earlier this year, and playing each other’s songs in an impromptu backstage jam, it was clear that there was real chemistry between Bowen * Young & Kezia; so much so that the Nashville-based duo felt they had to get Kezia involved in a new, reimagined version of ‘Hair Of The Dog’.
The original version of ‘Hair Of The Dog’ features on the debut Bowen * Young album, ‘Us’, out worldwide via Snakefarm / Integral. Clare Bowen, renowned for her role as Scarlett in the hit TV series ‘Nashville’, and Brandon, a melody-spinner from Connecticut, have come together to deliver a captivating, emotive 10-track outing. You can listen to the album HERE.
Guided at first by acclaimed Americana songwriter / producer Sean McConnell and subsequently by Nashville producer / writer Roger Alan Nichols, ‘Us’ captures the essence of Clare and Brandon’s feelings, weaving together haunting melodies, heartfelt story-telling and hypnotic harmonies. From facing adversity to celebrating life’s victories, each track resonates with passion, showcasing the duo’s signature musical blend – an approach they have dubbed ‘Cinematic Americana’.
“We poured our hearts and souls into creating ‘Us’,” says Clare. “It’s a celebration of love, resilience and the power of music to unite us all.”
