This unique record features the band’s creative reinterpretations of beloved songs by other artists, showcasing their versatility and deep musical admiration. Following the enduring success of their sophomore album "Leisure Suit" on the Relix/Jambands.com Radio Chart, the band is set to ride the waves of acclaim with this ambitious new venture.
"Songs We Didn’t Write" promises a fresh take on a diverse selection of tracks, reimagined through Organ Fairchild’s signature instrumental flair. The album kicks off with the release of the first single, a vibrant instrumental cover of Bob Marley’s "Them Belly Full," available on radio and streaming services starting Friday, April 5. This lively rendition sets the tone for an album filled with unexpected delights and soulful homages.
The full album, eagerly anticipated by fans and critics alike, will be available on June 7 in a collector-friendly 180-gram vinyl format, alongside CD and digital versions. Fans are encouraged to pre-order to secure their copy of what promises to be a remarkable musical journey at Organ Fairchild’s Merchandise Store.
Recorded and mixed by the renowned Justin Guip, known for his work with Hot Tuna and Levon Helm, and mastered by the gifted Alan Evans of Soulive, the album boasts an impressive lineup of songs. Highlights include instrumental versions of The Grateful Dead’s "Lost Sailor," Otis Redding’s "Hard to Handle" featuring the legendary Jorma Kaukonen, a Harry Styles track, and many others. This eclectic mix demonstrates the band's ability to bridge genres and eras with their innovative arrangements.
Guitarist Dave Ruch shared the inspiration behind the album: “It was actually my son who suggested a full album of cover songs! We’ve always enjoyed reinterpreting songs in our unique organ trio format, and our live shows have featured a variety of covers. This album was a joy to create.”
