Album DescriptionUK digipak pressing of her 2007 debut album. Meg Baird is the female vocalist in Espers and many folk's favorite part of the band. Titled Dear Companion, it is a barren, beauteous solo debut that takes you back to a time when the Incredible String Band ruled the world ... well maybe Northern California ... and Joni Mitchell, the Grateful Dead and Neil Young were like Gods!!!! Dear Companion is a mixture of original and obscure covers and an a cappella and will certainly flip out Espers fans. Dear Companion is a musical companion that will show you a bit of the traditional sandstone that folk is built upon and the simultaneous empathy and entertainment it can provide. Wichita.
