Emma Swift - Blonde On The Tracks

Blonde On The Tracks is a studio album by Australian country singer songwriter Emma Swift, released in August 2020 via Tiny Ghost.

ARIA nominated songwriter Emma Swift delivers a gentle and evocative celebration of the songs of the legendary Bob Dylan imbued with the vocal spirit of Sandy Denny, Marianne Faithfull and Linda Ronstadt.

The album was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and produced by Patrick Sansone (WILCO) and features British guitarist Robyn Hitchcock.

The album developed out of a long period for Swift, when writing songs of her own had become increasingly difficult. Swift found listening to Dylan, and eventually singing her own version of his songs, to be "a way to have something to wake up for", she told an interviewer for the Irish Times. Beyond the quality of Dylan's songwriting, Swift said in an interview with Nashville Scene that she was drawn to Dylan's "supremely confident" attitude as an artist during a time when she was acutely depressed.

She recorded a cover of a song from Dylan’s most recent studio album Rough And Rowdy Ways “I Contain Multitudes”.

This album is on black vinyl, pressed in the US via Tiny Ghost.
