Empty Road | Haunting Soul-Blues Ballad

Unearth a forgotten gem of soulful blues. Empty Road Lost Session is the haunting ballad of a voice that drifted into obscurity, only to be rediscovered decades later. Recorded in a single take at a makeshift studio in Muscle Shoals, this track captures the raw, unfiltered emotion of an artist baring her soul.

A transient spirit in the late-60s music scene, known for her haunting vocals and poetic lyricism. "Empty Road" is her most poignant work—a song that walks the line between heartbreak and hope, between the past we leave behind and the future we're forced to walk toward.
