FAY,BILL - STILL SOME LIGHT: PART 1 Vinyl LP

Bill Fay has always sung about attempting to understand the most universalquestions: those of nature, spirituality, humanity. His songs are "calming hymnsfor another chaotic time", he says. His influence can be traced through manyartist's work, and so it only seemed right to celebrate this with a collection ofnewer voices interpreting his timeless tracks. Originally released in 2010 by DavidTibet (Current 93), Still Some Light was released as a double CD, made up of70's album demos (Disc One) and 2009 home recordings (Disc Two). Thisyear, for the first time, this collection of recordings will be pressed to vinyl andreleased digitally, presented alongside contemporary reimaginings of the tracksby Kevin Morby, Steve Gunn, Julia Jacklin and Mary Lattimore. Bill Fay's wordsand melodies remain unaffected by the passing of time and changing trends;and here alongside the original recordings, these reinvented versions still calmlyguide us through another moment of chaos.Marketing Sticker TextBill Fay's Still Some Light was originally released on compact disc as a two CDcollection in 2010.
