Night Divine is the fourth studio album by Brian Fallon, singer/guitarist of American rock band The Gaslight Anthem, released on November 5, 2021, through Lesser Known Records. ^[1] In 2022 Fallon would reunite with The Gaslight Anthem making Night Divine his last solo album to date.

Background

The album consists of recordings of classic Hymns and Christmas carols by Fallon that were recorded by Fallon at home while his mother contributed to several of the songs, making this undertaking even more meaningful. “This was the first music I’d ever heard and learned,” Fallon recalls. “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.” Fallon adds, “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. 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.” ^[2]
