The new album from Scott Fagan has been some 55 years in the making. The 13 songs on Soon illustrate Fagan’s extraordinary facility and range as a singer and songwriter of great sensitivity, passion, and humor. Somewhere along the way, Fagan fathered a son, acclaimed songwriter Stephin Merritt, although the two did not meet until 2012. Scott Fagan has been waiting a long time for the world to hear these songs. The long, long wait is over.
