Regular price
$46.00
Blinking Lights and Other Revelations, is a set about "God and all the questions related to the subject of God," says its creator, E. A homemade epic, it's an imaginative, emotional reflection on the condition of living, recorded mostly in Everett's Los Angeles basement over a period of several years. Sprawling over its two discs on CD and triple LPs on vinyl are songs about faith, responsibility, growing up, dignity, disappointment, comfort, hope and renewal. Echoes of Everett's Virginia youth are heard during a fever-dreamed summer night's picnic inside the Civil War-era graveyard near his family's house ("In the Yard, Behind the Church), while the engineer of a dying travel industry laments the long gone Washington and Old Dominion Railroad that once ran nearby ("Railroad Man").
