Gill Landry - "Take This Body" (Feat. Laura Marling) (Stereogum Premiere)

Folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gill Landry, a member of Old Crow Medicine Show and founder of the Kitchen Syncopators, is set to release his third solo album in less than two weeks. As the self-titled project quickly approaches, Landry offers “Take This Body,” a gorgeously gloomy duet with Laura Marling about longing for more from love than mere companionship. Beautiful guitar lines, rich fiddle strokes, space-filling drums, and delicate piano chords surround simple but powerful lyrics, first from Landry, then from Marling, before they harmonize on the hook. Listen below.
