压缩码率：320 kbps 风格：Indie Folk, Blues Folk. 专辑介绍： 被乐评人拿来和Bob Dylan和Nick Drake比较的民谣歌手Bill Fay,在70年代并没有什么名气,在Donovan的经纪人Peter Eden的帮助下出了一些单曲后,发行过几张不痛不痒的专辑,有人认为他太过于模仿Bob Dylan或Leonard Cohen式的创作风格,但却缺少才气,也有人对他宠爱有加。在70年代之后几乎就没再出过作品，然而2010年Bill Fay推出了一张精选作品《Still Some Light》，引起了轰动。 在Bob Dylan的新专辑即将问世之时，Bill Fay也发行了他这张新作。这位非常低调和低产的英国老一代民谣歌手低调潜伏近40年之后在这张新专辑中充分体现了他的才华，可谓是非常优秀的一部作品。闲话不多说了，对于这位英国民谣传奇而又神秘的人物，以下引入一段BBC对这张专辑的一篇报道和评论。 Some careers are hard-fought; some are just hard. And some are as lonely as the long-distance runner. Bill Fay’s happens to be all three. After two distinctly powerful and ignored albums – 1970’s Bill Fay and the following year’s Time of the Last Persecution, whose title alone indicates an already wearying state of mind – Fay went into exodus. Twenty-seven years passed before his reputation was salvaged when both albums were reissued in 1998, with previously unheard material and Wilco’s cover of Fay’s Be Not So Fearful feeding the cult worship. Arriving 41 years after Fay’s last original studio album, Life Is People represents the return of a prodigal son you never knew existed. Its religious symbolism is inspired by Fay’s own relationship with faith, the result a stunning, profound, moving and soulful record. Fay’s never preachy, his questioning the kind you might expect from a brilliant mind who, at one point, worked as a factory cleaner. There’s environmental awareness, existential drama and considered advice. If Father Time made an album, it might sound like Life Is People. Fay’s deep-set voice and the music both rise to the occasion. There’s a string quartet, a gospel choir on Empires and Be at Peace with Yourself, and some judiciously employed guitar (his principal collaborator is Paul Weller sidekick Matt Deighton). The organ/piano foundations sometimes echo Bob Dylan’s wild mercury sound, and can be reminiscent of early Mott the Hoople’s rolling, wistful, valiant feel. But mostly, Life Is People is just hugely moving. Sad, too, but a comforting Nick Drake-style sad, so you wouldn’t want it any other way. There’s hope as well, even if The Never Ending Happening and The Healing Day undermine their titles with the feeling Fay is writing his epitaph. This World’s opening line is, “This world’s got me in its grip / ain’t no way can I wriggle out.” Yet Cosmic Concerto (Life Is People) starts out with, “There are miracles in the strangest of places.” One of those miracles is that Fay, after so many years, is again making music. Another miracle is how brilliant Life Is People is. Redemption time. by Martin Aston
