It’s not easy to be a Bill Nelson fan, as the English musician’s discography – original platters, previously unissued albums, archival recordings – seems rather labyrinthine. More so, the veteran’s cinematic instrumental works like "Dreamy Screens" seem to be outbalancing his song-based efforts which had been attracting a solid following ever after such classics as "Sunburst Finish" ruled the waves. This is why the prospect of the great guitarist’s forthcoming release feels so arresting.
The 16-track offering titled “All The Fun Of The Fair” and scheduled to hit the shelves on November 3rd is a life-affirming collection of vocal-led numbers with a few voiceless vignettes to link them and present the listener with a trip of sorts, with, as Nelson himself puts it, “various rides and mysterious sideshows” to enjoy. Alluring to say the least.
