The Return of Red Emma is the third studio album by the singer-songwriter Lida Husik, released in 1993 by Shimmy Disc.^[4]^[5]

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "the swirling moods seem less to spring mysteriously from the songs themselves — as they do on Bozo — than to be draped over them. It sounds oddly unsettled and tired at the same time."^[4]
