{"product_id":"thile-chris-laysongs-cd","title":"Laysongs CD","description":"CD version of Laysongs from mandolin extraordinaire Chris Thile.  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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: June 4, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Nonesuch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 075597916188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chris Thile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42328888213731,"sku":"Chris Thile (2)","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Chris_Thile_Laysongs_CD.png?v=1748277594","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/thile-chris-laysongs-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
