Jim Sullivan – If The Evening Were Dawn (Light in the Attic)

"If The Evening Were Dawn" features 10 solo acoustic recordings that have never seen the light of day. While "U.F.O." was backed by legendary sessioners The Wrecking Crew, this is Jim Sullivan on his own terms, stripped down but as soulful as ever. Recorded in a Los Angeles studio circa 1969, the session features acoustic versions of a handful of "U.F.O." Tracks as well as half a dozen previously unheard songs. So this is probably the closest thing to what is known among fans as the legendary Malibu bar performances where Sullivan was first noticed. According to his widow Barbara, this was the album Jim had always hoped to record. It serves as an unprecedented glimpse into the mysterious, larger-than-life figure who has become the stuff of legend

This recording is an unexpected missing piece of the puzzle and Jim Sullivan's true swan song. While Sullivan's disappearance remains unsolved, his music endures, bringing him long-overdue, well-deserved recognition.
