Anya Hinkle Releases Video for “Road Of The Winds”
Anya Hinkle has released a video for "Road Of The Winds" after a premiere by The Bluegrass Situation. The song is the first single under her own name, and it captures the raw honesty of her personal songwriting.
Alternating moody verses with a singable chorus, "Road Of The Winds" expresses a longing for motion that defines both an end and a beginning for the song's narrator. Throughout, Hinkle's distinctive voice is framed by a hand-picked group of musicians drawn from the rich musical community around western North Carolina: fiddler Julian Pinnelli, mandolinist Thomas Cassell (Circus No. 9), renowned resonator guitarist Billy Cardine, bass player Johnny Calamari, and harmony singer Mary Lucey. Produced by Jon Weisberger, the single is an auspicious start to the new stage of Hinkle's career.
"We are constantly moving closer toward our own homeland, a place we sense is there, somewhere, if we can just pay attention and listen closely to our inner voice," Hinkle told The Bluegrass Situation. "It takes tremendous courage and faith to believe that we can grow to become the person we were meant to be, doing the work we are meant to be doing. We are embarking on a great journey with each sunrise, with each day we are alive. This song helps me feel free to move ahead in new directions with boldness and conviction even though I don't exactly know where it will all lead. But once you leave the shore you are committed to the journey - there is no turning back."
