Bill Fay
s/t
Eclectic Discs ECLCD-1022
CD
£12.99
In 1970 and '71, singer-songwriter Bill Fay cut two albums for the Deram label that fused jazz rock with elements of British freakbeat, vaudeville, orchestral pop and eschatological Christianity. The guitarist on both albums was Ray Russell, a player who came out of jazz but applied plenty of post-psychedelic flash to his wild instrumental conceptions. The combination of Fay and Russell made for a pair of LPs that have little parallel in British jazz or rock. This reissue of his first, out-of-time side comes with two bonus tracks and restores one of the key recordings from the UK underground. Highly recommended.
