On Saturday 15th February 2014, Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo played a sold out show in the prestigious Hall One at Kings Place as part of the Americana Music Association UK showcase. Early the next morning they went in to Mark Ronson's Zelig studios and set up to record direct to vinyl via a link through to Gearbox Records' incredible mastering suite next door.
The result was a limited edition 500 copies on 10" vinyl pressed at renowned vinyl manufacturer Optimal in Germany and released on Record Store Day 2014.
Emily writes about the song choice in the sleeve notes:
"During the time I was writing the songs for Dear River, one album that was regularly on my player was Patti Smith’s Easter. Besides simply loving the album, this was because I wanted to introduce more of a “rock” element to our recordings and I guess I was hoping osmosis, or magic of some kind, would take effect and suddenly my songs would pop out with a Patti Smith-esque feel to them. I don’t know if this theory was at all successful, but I certainly enjoyed trying it out. What a painfully beautiful song this is..."
