The album is his first truly solo album: just Thile, his voice, and his mandolin, on new recordings of six original songs and three covers, all of which contextualize and banter with his ideas about spirituality. Recorded in a converted upstate New York church during the pandemic, Laysongs' centerpiece is the three-part \"Salt (in the Wounds) of the Earth,\" which was inspired by C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. The album also features a song Thile wrote about Dionysus; a performance of the fourth movement of Béla Bartók's Sonata for Solo Violin; \"God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot\" based on Buffy Sainte-Marie's adaptation of a Leonard Cohen poem; a cover of bluegrass legend Hazel Dickens' \"Won't You Come and Sing for Me;\" and an original instrumental loosely modeled after the Prelude from J.S. Bach's Partita for Solo Violin in E Major.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Laysong \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ecclesiastes \u003cbr\u003e1.3 God Is Alive Magic Is Afoot \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Salt (In the Wounds) of the Earth, Pt. 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Salt (In the Wounds) of the Earth, Pt. 2 \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Salt (In the Wounds) of the Earth, Pt. 3 \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Sonata for Solo Violin, SZ. 117: IV.
