Track: Long, Long, Long
Artist: Gemma Ray
MOJO says: "Weaned on the melodic melodrama of Buddy Holly, Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, London-based Gemma Ray is blessed with a voice that is both pure and yet melancholic. It’s these qualities that animate this version of George Harrison’s languorous ode to what appears to be a higher power. As well as contributing this track to The White Album Recovered, Ray has recently finished soundtracking British horror flick Mum And Dad. Somehow that appears fittingly spooky."
