{"product_id":"chris-thile-laysongs","title":"Chris Thile - Laysongs","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. 2021 release. The album is his first truly solo album: just Thile, his voice, and his mandolin, on new recordings of six original songs and three covers, all of which contextualize and banter with his ideas about spirituality. Recorded in a converted upstate New York church during the pandemic, Laysongs' centerpiece is the three-part \"Salt (in the Wounds) of the Earth,\" which was inspired by C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. The album also features a song Thile wrote about Dionysus; a performance of the fourth movement of Béla Bartók's Sonata for Solo Violin; \"God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot\" based on Buffy Sainte-Marie's adaptation of a Leonard Cohen poem; a cover of bluegrass legend Hazel Dickens' \"Won't You Come and Sing for Me;\" and an original instrumental loosely modeled after the Prelude from J.S. Bach's Partita for Solo Violin in E Major.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49973314519282,"sku":"075597916171","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3959793-2695816.jpg?v=1787601906","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/chris-thile-laysongs","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
