We recently shared a video of guitarist Toby Hay performing ‘The Summer the Sky Cried For Rain’. The video was recorded live at the state51 Factory and we have the great pleasure of sharing another live session for ‘Morning Song’ below. The opening of this track was described by Glenn Kimpton in his album review as “raga-like” which can be clearly heard here as the strings echo off the walls.
It is an elated piece of music, almost transcendental, and suffused with the light of a crisp dawn. It is immediately obvious that the new guitar is no mere gimmick – even to the ears of a non-musician, the tone is breathtaking. Hay’s playing has a crystalline clarity that shines through on even his most formally experimental pieces. Glen Kimpton, Folk Radio
This track is made all the more elating when you can see Toby’s playing in action which is what makes these videos so special although he still makes it look effortless.
