{"product_id":"chris-thile-laysongs-1","title":"Chris Thile - LAYSONGS","description":"Vinyl 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.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48092991553761,"sku":"075597916171","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1477\/8337\/files\/3959793-2695816_474967d9-cb63-41d4-a963-fa71c262b576.jpg?v=1773701642","url":"https:\/\/store.tasteofcountry.com\/products\/chris-thile-laysongs-1","provider":"Taste of Country","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
