Carrying the voices of women through history, and Henley’s work in American roots music, it’s a fascinating and beautiful release

Jude Rodgers The Guardian

Lily Henley is a storyteller. Here she weaves traditional Sephardic Jewish ballads (alongside three originals) into her own melodic compositions, rooted in American folk traditions. The result of this unlikely combination is a record that is as evocative as it is beautiful. (…) Deeply folk and intrinsically human, this record is a creative take on centuries-old songs that is both fresh and familiar.

Henley’s approach is inspiring, refreshing and enduring.
