The Damn Rest LP (Be With)

The Damn Rest is a long-overdue vinyl compilation of B-sides from the singles off Lewis Taylor’s groundbreaking 1996 debut. Far from filler, these tracks showcase Taylor’s unmatched range and depth, bridging the gap between his debut and Lewis II. The collection dives into a more abstract, exploratory side of his artistry, offering everything from cinematic, string-laden ballads to psychedelic funk, soulful jazz explorations, and lush prog-soul hybrids. Standouts like “Asleep When You Come,” “I Dream The Better Dream,” and the epic “Lewis III” reveal a visionary at the peak of his creativity. With meticulous mastering and pressing, this is an essential companion piece for fans and collectors alike.
