Plainsong Reinventing Richard: The Songs Of Richard Farina
Release Date: September 11, 2015
Label: Omnivore
A labor of love and remembrance from those who admire his work, Plainsong’s Reinventing Richard: The Songs Of Richard Fariña takes this incredible writer’s material and weaves it in the harmonies and instrumentation of Matthews, Roberts and Griffiths. To make it more special, Reinventing Richard contains a performance with Clive Gregson, as well as the first release of a previously unrecorded Fariña track, “Sombre Winds.”
With Reinventing Richard, Plainsong has produced a classic album that imagines how his songs might have sounded if written and first recorded in a 21st century electro/acoustic setting.
