Description
'Teach Me To Be A Summer's Morning' is an intimate portrait of Lal Waterson (1943 - 1998) through a 15-track CD of very rare home demo recordings plus a hardback book of her writings, drawings, paintings, and stained glass.
Known primarily as a singer and songwriter, Lal Waterson is shown, through this beautiful accompanying new book, to be much more - a versatile and vibrant artist. The 15 songs on the CD confirm her stature as a songwriter of rare imagination, depth and rich beauty; combine this ability with the many drawings, paintings, thoughts and poems illustrated in the book and a clearer picture emerges of Lal's individual, tender, intense, complex but ultimately very human talents.
'Teach Me To Be A Summer's Morning' is curated by Lal's daughter Marry Waterson and offers a unique, intimate portrait of Lal , through a wonderful selection of her work from a life lived making sense of the world through music, words, and pictures.
