Life Is People is proof enough that Fay has always stood tall; we just may have been too short to notice him. It seems like time has finally caught up with Fay, or rather, that time is ready to start regretting its negligence. He’s in our sight lines now, and hopefully he’ll stay there a while longer.

Bill Fay’s first album in 41 years is astonishing.

Beautiful, patient and poignant, Life Is People is an expert singer-songwriter album…the work of a lifetime…
