Here If You Listen is an album by David Crosby and his collaborators Michael League, Becca Stevens, and Michelle Willis, who perform on tour together backing Crosby as The Lighthouse Band, and was released on October 26, 2018 by BMG Music. [2]
The Lighthouse Band originated on Crosby's Lighthouse album. Producer Michael League along with Becca Stevens and Michelle Willis provided backing vocals on the Crosby-Stevens song "By the Light of Common Day". On this album, the band is very different. AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "Chalk that up to the Lighthouse Band interacting like a band here, collaborating on the writing and trading off lead vocals as they glide into lush, shimmering harmonies." Seven of the eleven tracks were written by all four members, with another penned by the quartet plus Snarky Puppy keyboard player Bill Laurance. One tune is by Stevens and Jane Tyson Clement, and another is by Willis. Only Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" is not a Lighthouse Band composition. [1]
