Editor’s Note: Mary Elizabeth Remington recorded her new album in a small house in Embudo, New Mexico, with her friends Adrianne Lenker and James Krivchenia of Big Thief and Mat Davidson of Twain.
In Their Words: “A song can take me a few days to write and other times a song will emerge gradually over years. Starting with a melody, lyrics take form as circumstances unfold, sometimes changing over time. It is so cool to start a song in the beginning of a difficult situation, and over a few months of growth and change, find the last words. The song becomes a jewel mined from struggle, where the pain is dissipated within the sacredness of the lesson. This is very much how ‘Dresser Hill’ was written. Mat, James, Adrianne and I each have a unique journey as musicians and all of us making the time for this album, I am forever grateful for.” — Mary Elizabeth Remington
