Beth Wood’s collaboration with Ara Lee James. If Dolly Parton and Aretha Franklin had a love child it would be Americana roots duo Stand and Sway. Steeped in soul, poetry, and harmony, Beth Wood and Ara Lee James blend together in a way that tends to break things: ceilings, hearts, ideas about genres. The power of these two voices together is undeniable, and their music changes the weather. Prepare for foot-stomping, tear-inducing, mountain-sized joy.
DEEP BLUE was born of ashes. James and Wood wrote these songs because they needed to. DEEP BLUE is an album is about loss, certainly. It’s about being on the other side of young, of should-haves, of disappointment, and what comes after you’ve made spectacular mistakes and lost everything. More so, however, it is an album about choosing life after loss, and waking up. It’s about the music that shows up to heal you, and all of it being worth it at day’s end.
