But fate intervened. The production (which starred Fagan and a young Richard Gere) closed early, the album was shelved, never to be recorded or heard. Until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded over seven days in July 2025 at the hallowed Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis with a crack rhythm section, the thirteen songs on \u003cem\u003eSoon\u003c\/em\u003e illustrate Fagan's extraordinary facility and range as a singer and songwriter of great sensitivity, passion, and humour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom its rousing gospel opener (\u003cem\u003eLet The World Begin Again\u003c\/em\u003e), through fiery protest songs (\u003cem\u003eFaces Names and Places\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eStraight\u003c\/em\u003e), and tender-hearted ballads (\u003cem\u003eChild of Sympathy\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTo Touch the Sky\u003c\/em\u003e), the album is by turns uplifting, mournful, righteous, giddy, soulful (title track \u003cem\u003eSoon\u003c\/em\u003e), and anthemic (closer, \u003cem\u003ePlease Be Well\u003c\/em\u003e). This feels like an album of lost classics waiting to be rediscovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScott Fagan has been waiting a long time for the world to hear these songs. The long, long wait is over.
