Elles Bailey “Take A Step Back” – slow it down

Elles Bailey is one of the leading lights of the UK Americana scene, and following the announcement of her upcoming album “Can’t Take My Story Away,” which comes out January 16th on Cooking Vinyl and Outlaw Music, we can now bring you the second single from that release.

Take A Step Back‘ is the perfect canvas for Bailey’s powerhouse vocals, as she says herself: “Sometimes relationships can be all fire, all pleasure and all pain simultaneously, and you either have to embrace it – or take a step back. This truly is one of my favourite moments on the album. I love the sound we captured in the room. It’s so live, so full of swagger, so soulful and yet equally just as playful. It’s definitely the kind of song that puts a strut in your stride.”

Elles Bailey will be showcasing the new release on a series of in-store appearances in January, before heading out on tour in the UK with the following dates:

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
