The album is his first truly solo album: just Thile, his voice, and his mandolin, on new recordings of six original songs and three covers, all of which contextualize and banter with his ideas about spirituality. Recorded in a converted upstate New York church during the pandemic, Laysongs' centerpiece is the three-part \"Salt (in the Wounds) of the Earth,\" which was inspired by C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. The album also features a song Thile wrote about Dionysus; a performance of the fourth movement of Béla Bartók's Sonata for Solo Violin; \"God Is Alive, Magic Is Afoot\" based on Buffy Sainte-Marie's adaptation of a Leonard Cohen poem; a cover of bluegrass legend Hazel Dickens' \"Won't You Come and Sing for Me;\" and an original instrumental loosely modeled after the Prelude from J.S. Bach's Partita for Solo Violin in E Major\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaysong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ecclesiastes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e God Is Alive Magic Is Afoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Salt (In the Wounds) of the Earth Pt. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Salt (In the Wounds) of the Earth Pt. 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Salt (In the Wounds) of the Earth Pt. 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sonata for Solo Violin SZ. 117: IV.
