Ahead of the release of his debut EP Universal Country, mysterious Honey Harper shares tear jerking ballad “Pharaoh”.
Without a great deal of information on Honey Harper one has to focus solely on the musical output being offered. Well, if you wanted the iconic tones of Vince Gill and Townes Van Zandt mixed with Gillian Welch-esque lyricisms and David Lindley slide-guitar, “Pharaoh” is your dying summer jam. That's it.
“Pharaoh” is out now via Arbutus Records.
