Julia Jacklin / Bill Fay - Just To Be A Part / Just To Be A Part (7" Vinyl)

Dead Oceans - DOC278LP

7" Vinyl

"Recording this song got me out of a dark place musically; I hadn't sung or played since my last album tour finished and covid started. I just went to a local studio near my house with some friends and recorded it in a couple of hours. It was just so nice to sing again and play with friends. It was hard to capture the spirit of Bill's version but it was a true gift getting to live in his song for a day" - Julia Jacklin

Julia Jacklin has shared her version of Bill Fay's 'Just To Be A Part', the next instalment in a special series of 7" singles featuring different musicians celebrating and interpreting Fay's work. Jacklin's take on the legendary singer's beautiful melancholy is simply sublime. All the wistful yearning and uncertainty that flowed through Fay's voice is amplified by the cracks and creaks of Jacklin's own bray, and when she reaches those wild chorus melodies, Jacklin's reinterpretation simply soars.
