William Parker - I Plan To Stay A Believer: The Inside Songs Of Cur

I Plan To Stay A Believer is the definitive document of William Parker's The Inside Songs of Curtis Mayfield project, featuring fully charged extensions & expansions - both music & text - of selections from the soul music legend's immortal songbook by an equally mighty & masterful 8-piece band.Gospel-tinged uplift, luminous swing, tight soul grooves, and wholly lit free jazz are rousingly delivered with clear-eyed joy and righteous purpose. This work brings Mayfield's and Parker's positive messages of hope and fortitude in the face of seemingly endless tribulation firmly into the present moment, exultantly so and with total commitment.* This first time on vinyl limited edition features all new cover art & insert, a previously unreleased exclusive to vinyl (and astonishing) version of "People Get Ready / The Inside Song", along with a download card for full-resolution/lossless download of 7 additional tracks / 80 minutes of this profound music.
