Night Divine is a series of hymns covered by The Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon. This is a project he’s been wanting to create for a long time, inspired by his time singing in the church choir as a child. “This was the first music I’d ever heard and learned,” Fallon said. “It’s one of the earliest musical memories I have. So, the idea has been churning in my head for a long time. Even when I was making rock ‘n’ roll, this was always in the background.” He finally got the opportunity to make the intimate record during lockdown, with background vocals by his mother.

The 10-track collection is introduced by the lead single and album opener, “The Virgin Mary Had One Son.” “I heard Odetta sing an incredible live version of ‘Virgin Mary Had One Son,’ and it was actually one of the performances that inspired me to learn the piano,” he notes. “Joan Baez sang it back in the sixties too. From those two versions, I put down my own structure with the acoustic guitar and the vocal. The other sonic elements appear and disappear like characters in a play. In the end, everything comes out for one last note.”
