It’s hard to say whether Emily is more writer or more musician. Regardless, you just won\'t find a better singer. She captures life in richly-textured song and then plays it back with a performance savvy that belies her age. Emily never disappoints. One minute her lyrics run deep with nuance and meaning and next they bounce along the surface in a clever play on words. Emily cuts her songs from the stuff of life and delivers them with strong vocals and vintage keys. A little blues, a little gypsy, a little soul—the songsmith sings it like it is.
Emily says of A Cache in the Warehouse Floor, “Some of these songs sound like Aretha Franklin singing Tom Waits and others dip into the same well that fed Cooke, Redding, Charles, Witherspoon, and Sykes. With the help of the organ and electric guitar, the sounds on this record are as huge as the lyrics.”

"A Cache in the Warehouse Floor" reflects gains and losses, swinging from heartbroken balladry ("Broken Down") to the brassy, full-throated exultations of the horn-spiked "Give It Time."

93XRT - The Local Anesthetic
author: Richard Milne
If it’s not an oxymoron, I like the sense of understated urgency in Emily Hurd’s voice. Now, sure there’s more than a touch of Janis in it, but Emily’s is a more controlled instrument. Maybe that’s what’s so intriguing, sensing that she could belt it out like Big Mama Thornton but she chooses not to—-for the most part. It’s good stuff. She plays the piano, she sings, she writes some really good tunes.”
