Description
Bill Fay is one of English musics best kept secrets a genuine national treasure. Back at the dawn of the 1970s, he was a one-man song factory, with a piano that spilled liquid gold and a voice every bit the equal of Ray Davies, John Lennon, early Bowie, or Procol Harums Gary Brooker. He made two solo albums but his contract wasnt renewed, leaving his LPs and his reputation to become cult items, later namedropped by the likes of Nick Cave, Wilcos Jeff Tweedy and Jim ORourke.
London singer-songwriter Bill Fay released two albums on the Deram label in the early 70s and promptly disappeared into relative obscurity for 30+ years. In the last 10 years or so those albums have finally begun to get the recognition they deserve, and 4 Men With Beards is proud to be able to bring them back into circulation on 180 gram vinyl. First up is the self-titled debut from 1970, an absolute classic of British folk-rock.
