Katy J Pearson has released a new version of ‘Willow’s Song’ featuring Broadside Hacks.
It’s taken from ‘Katy J Pearson & Friends Present Songs From The Wicker Man’, an upcoming EP of The Wicker Man soundtrack covers for Studiocanal’s The Wicker Man 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition 4-disc boxset.
“Strangely, I heard The Wicker Man soundtrack way before I watched the movie,” she comments. “I remember my dad playing me Willow’s Song and I found it hypnotic and it started being a song I listened to a lot. The version I did for the record was a kind of psychedelic/ krautrock version so having the opportunity to work with my friends Broadside Hacks on a traditional cover which they put together so beautifully has been really brilliant. I’m such a fan so it’s an honour to be involved in the 50th anniversary of The Wicker Man.”
