about
A cover of COB's Sweet Spring - originally released on Spirit of Clive, 2022.
lyrics
A wind from the sea
Cross the hills rolling down green
Deep in the wood but your through
Winters black cloak is unclasped
Sweet Spring
Weaving a crown of leaves
Watch the grass grow green
The rain of the winter feeds the earth
And sun kissed flowers breathe the sweet air
Sweet Spring
This flesh humbly impressed
Bear witness thou art my lord
You hold me green and dying
Though I’ll sing in my chains like the sea
Sweet Spring
Cross the hills rolling down green
Deep in the wood but your through
Winters black cloak is unclasped
Sweet Spring
Weaving a crown of leaves
Watch the grass grow green
The rain of the winter feeds the earth
And sun kissed flowers breathe the sweet air
Sweet Spring
This flesh humbly impressed
Bear witness thou art my lord
You hold me green and dying
Though I’ll sing in my chains like the sea
Sweet Spring

about
Henry Parker Leeds, UK
Henry Parker's contemporary take on folk, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply accomplished guitar playing, unfurls
and moves much like the landscape itself - mirroring the unpredictable, yet beautifully flowing, rolling hills and valleys of his hometown, the Aire Valley in West Yorkshire.

Weather Beaten
by Katie Spencersupported by 12 fans who also own “Sweet Spring (COB)”
I'm not sure where to begin. This is the second album I have bought from Katie. Hello Sun speaks to me because I also long for it to return to the blue skies and the warmth it brings in the spring and summer months. Honestly though, every track is special. It is not often I find myself so captivated by a musician these days, but Katie has truly done that for me. Heart warming beautiful music that should be heard by all who love acoustic guitar and vocals. Real and genuine.
