“It’s Got To Be Love” is a collection of 14 Tim Lake original songs and his 5-String Banjo arrangement of the traditional Andean folk song “El Condor Pasa.” Showcasing Lake’s breadth as a songwriter, this album covers the entire lexicon of American musical influences. The title tune “It’s Got To Be Love” has pop rock overtones while “Emily” and “Graduation Day” are firmly rooted in folk traditions. “The Wizards” is a blues examination of America’s civil rights struggles from a flooded farmer’s viewpoint, and “Dear Mr. President” communicates the frustrations felt by a middleclass mill worker trying to make ends meet. Originally released in 1985, the meanings and messages of each song are just as pertinent today as they were then because the topics are timeless. The musicianship displayed on this album is simply outstanding. This album is an exceptional achievement and Padraig Records, LLC is proud to add it to our catalogue.
All songs, words, and music, written by Tim Lake except for his 5-String Banjo arrangement of the Andean traditional folk song “El Condor Pasa”
