Bill Fay – Still Some Light Part 1 (2022)

On his self-titled debut, he had the orchestral interludes, he had the songwriting and he had the pathos powers of the Dylans and Cohens, but Bill Fay still remained relatively unknown. In 1972, on his second album, the horns and flutes were gone. On »Time Of The Last Persecution«, Jesus saw himself close but far away from the light, Fay saved on half the instruments and in exchange simply blazed with atmosphere. The demos collected on »Still Some Light Part 1« also date from this time. Guitars, drums, piano, this haunting, faint voice, mediocre sound quality, bad prospects – and everything absolutely brilliant.
