Haunting music with organ AND pedal steel?!?! I'm in love!

I am enthralled and quite smitten. This is some of the most amazing music I have heard in ages.

[@Sildurian]

Can` remember when was the last time I`ve heard a singer with no autotune or any similar crap to it. Great music from Karen Elson!

The birds they circle in the sky. One lone raven -bewitching one man's eye- the raven, she circled in the sky. The dove, for all the blood red tears she cried- they did not care and then they lied- and now - a life once built has died.

[@dmdiamond220]

that goddamn organ player is talented

[@luiscarloosinagasoria3519]

Anyone else feels the beginning sounds like house of the rising sun?

[@dennyrane]

Who is that girl playing bass.?
I believe I saw her on a Fender VI with Wanda Jackson.....
Thanks

[@kd5mtl]

Well at 6 years I'm a bit late responding but hope it still helps. Thats Olivia Jean on bass. Check her out, shes pretty dang talented and plays ALL of the instruments on most of her albums. Singing, guitar, bass, drums, keys, she plays it all.

[@DanielleRegalado]

[@alixcezarzz]

[@jezkn]

Yup - definately got a flavour of the Pierces (older stuff) about it (but not as good0 - and with a Mancunian accent !

[@dominicwarrenable]

[@dannydavidson1667]

I believe u need to relisten to the song. I play HOTRS all the time.

[@thommytaranto]

@Deathbyrd1 Not anymore

[@adamsez]

Compare to Davy Graham's 'My Babe' (1964)

[@psychicdelic]

I like it, not like her other video ripping off Kate Bush.

[@SuperYellowPecora]

Soooo thin....

[@JasonSexton2010]

I respect and love Karen's music along with all things Third Man's Records... but this doesn't sound original to me for some sad reason. :/

[@yesteryearstreasure3859]

This sucks
