Bowen * Young has released their version of the classic Joni Mitchell song ‘River'.
The release of ‘River' comes hot-on-the-heels of the duo's recent release ‘Hair of the Dog' featuring UK singer-songwriter Kezia Gill. Take a listen to ‘River' below:
The duo comments, “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.”
‘Hair of the Dog' originally featured on Bowen * Young's debut album ‘US', which was released earlier this year via Snakefarm / Integral. After meeting Gill backstage at Highways Festival at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the new version of the song came to be.
Clare Bowen is renowned for her role as Scarlett in the hit TV series ‘Nashville', and Brandon Young is a melody-spinner from Connecticut. They worked on their album ‘US' with acclaimed Americana songwriter / producer Sean McConnell and subsequently by Nashville producer / writer Roger Alan Nichols.
