Again such a pearl, the one usually finds only by luck

We are happy to the comparison with Bob Dylan effort. It must be held some mumbling in the first sung words of this album, but this is not nearly as pronounced as in a Bob Dylan. Overall, this comparison is then very and is my feeling more to the fact that they are both musicians to singer / songwriter. Stylistic similarities stumbled.
The processed content are clearly deeper than in traditional pop music. Singer / songwriter texts and moods are critical, self-reflective and dreamy like a rule. Old-school style is then at Fay as Dylan the basis of their music. This should be expected with regard to the age of the two musicians. Dylan sounds more traditional (on Tempest). This includes the well-known country and western influences, which are not present in the quasi-reviewed album. So you can find stylistic elements Fays even with Tom Petty. An example of this is Title 4 This World.

Bill Fay sounds on this album then something fresh and approachable for the masses as Bob Dylan. The voice polarized not like the Dylan where vocally the ravages of time but neatly by far. On the tour with Mark Knopfler his singing has somehow very reminiscent of the hotter barking of an old shepherd. Fays voice, however, sounds much softer, less pronounced and therefore less polarizing.

Total Life Is People's stylistically hard to classify. Most likely can be the Blues discover herein. One of the most striking pieces on this album is City Of Dreams, which sometimes recalls the Pink Floyd of the 70's. But is also something available to classical implementation of this genre, for example, where Fay using only voice and piano.

Production of Life Is People is characterized by much attention to detail. The instrumentation is sometimes minimalist and then again very extensive in some cases even orchestral. For this is the most impressive piece of 2 to call Big Painter. This title was a background yet uploaded singing with choral character. As a result, an atmospheric density is produced, which acts even mystical.
In Title 7 Be At Peace With Yourself the choir issue becomes even clearer introduced. Overall, this title is reminiscent of a gospel work. For the other songs you have to admit, at least to a wide range of string instruments. What is not, however, proves to be stricken or disturbing.
In the end, the music easy to access what you look a little spontaneously takes the seriousness. But this is not the case. You have to listen just yet. To this end, this music is made.

When you consider that this is only the third album by Bill Fay is and his comeback after his second album in 1971, you have to wonder what this man has thwarted all these years. Anyway, the inclined listeners a decent level of potential has been withheld. But we do not want to moan but better thank you for a very atmospheric album that convincing through inner peace, serenity and wisdom of old age knows. One can only wish that Bill Fay with this album to recognition part is that he has definitely earned. From me he will receive in any case deserved 5 star and a strong buy recommendation for people who internalize music and not just consume.
