{"product_id":"m-ward_think-of-spring_2020_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"Think Of Spring","description":"The genius of modern American music pays tribute to Billie Holiday\"I first heard Lady In Satin in a mega shopping mall somewhere in San Francisco.I was about 20 years old and I didn't know much about Billie’s records, her life, or the evolution of her voice over the years. Anyway, the sound came from the other side of the mall and I remember confusing her voice with a beautiful electric guitar perfectly distorted - a thing from another world floating on this strange ocean of sad strings and I was hooked for life. Ten years later, in 2006, I recorded an instrumental version on electric guitar of \"I'm A Fool To Want You\" for my album Post-War. In 2018 I gave a concert in LA. of all the songs from Lady In Satin in quintet and I started preparing guitar arrangements for the recordings compiled on this disc - Think of Spring. The title comes from a poem written in 1924 by Jane Brown-Thompson which later became \"I Get Along Without You Very Well\" in 1938 - the first song here. The concept of Think of Spring is to filter the songs and strings of Lady In Satin using a single acoustic guitar with various alternative chords and a minimum of textures and studio manipulations. Most of the songs were recorded on a four-track Tascam analog. Think of Spring is inspired by Billie Holiday, Ray Ellis, J.J. Johnson, John Fahey, and Robert Johnson.","brand":"M.
