The new folk scene in England is in pretty good shape, thanks
to newcomers such as Jackie Oates, but it could be argued that
the new Scottish scene is even healthier. Julie Fowlis and
Eddi Reader have shown the different ways in which traditional
influences are being reworked north of the border, and now
comes this impressively varied and thoughtful set from a young
singer and songwriter from Dumfries. Emily Smith plays piano
and accordion, and her cool, confident, no-nonsense treatment
of Robert Burns' As I Was Wandering, or the rousing folk-rock
treatment of May Colvin (a traditional song of lust, revenge
and death), is matched against a series of her own gentle and
reflective songs, which mostly stand up well against the older
material. She is certainly ambitious. Old Mortality is an
intriguingly sturdy story of a Dumfries stonemason who spent
his life maintaining the graves of those who opposed the
changes that King Charles I made to the Church of Scotland,
while Winter Song is a modern Scottish answer to Sandy Denny's
Who Knows Where the Time Goes? Smith deserves to become yet
another new folk celebrity.

Since becoming BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year in 2002 Smith has gone on to gain further accolades of ‘Up and Coming Artist of the Year’ nominee (Scots Trad music Awards, 2003) and ‘Scots singer of the Year’ nominee (Scots Trad Music Awards 2005). She gained an Honours degree in Scottish Music at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and is now not only a respected interpreter of traditional songs but is also gathering interest with her own compelling songwriting. Emily became the first ever winner from Scotland in the USA Songwriting Competition in 2005 after winning the folk section with her song ‘Edward of Morton’, another of her songs ‘Always a Smile’ was short listed in the final ten. To date she has released two studio albums ‘A Day Like Today’ (Footstompin’ Records, 2002) and ‘A Different Life’ (White Fall Records, 2005) both to critical acclaim. Her third album ‘Too Long Away’ will be released in the UK on 7th April 2008.
Raised in rural Dumfriesshire in the South West of Scotland, Smith has always held a passion for local history and a keen sense of belonging, which shines through in her music and the enthusiasm she displays when talking of her home region. “Dumfries and Galloway is often a forgotten part of Scotland and through my material, whether traditional or my own songs, I try to portray the beauty and diversity of where I come from. I love being able to sing a song and picture the exact setting of where the event took place, or to sing some of Robert Burns’ material and know that he travelled the same roads and admired the same landscapes as I do today.”
