Song of the Week: First Aid Kit - Emmylou



Johanna and Klara Söderberg hail from Enskede, Sweden. In 2012 the young sisters released The Lion's Roar, their second album, on Wichita Records. The second single from that album, Emmylou, traces the love stories of Johnny Cash and June Carter as well as that of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, and compares them to their own lives. The tight harmony country-esque number reached the top 25 in Norway and Sweden, but failed to make an impression here in the states. We think that's a shame.
Until next time, we'll see you On The Flip-Side!

  1. That is a shame indeed, nice song! Curious, is this song representative of their sound?

  2. It is indicative. That said, this is the best of the lot, imo.
