“A Moment” is a collection of 9 songs recorded over many years by Tim Lake and a very talented cast of musical friends. Showcasing Lake’s breadth as a songwriter, 4 & 5-string banjo player and guitarist, this album portrays lives as diverse as a successful person who is uneasy among his peers (“The Achiever’s Ball”) to a perfectionist who can’t make peace with himself (“A Perfectionist”). The title song, “A Moment,” describes an artist who rises early trying to catch the majesty and magic of the moment when the sunrise expands the horizon and ‘kisses the land hoping for his understanding to expand.’ Recorded live in the studio, this duet offers the sparse instrumentation of Lake’s guitar and vocal bolstered by the piano virtuosity of Jay Flippin creating the perfect musical foil to convey the painter’s story. “Sailing Again” offers a glimpse into a late night jazz club as the torch singer pines for a lost love hoping someday to go sailing again. The final song, “The Me Generation” is an sociological a Capella exploration of the lack of harmony created when eight different voices all insist on singing in their own key because each person thinks that they are the ‘truth and the light.’ This album is a poignant portrayal of the lives and feelings that are universal to us all conveyed through Lake’s fine songwriting and outstanding musical performances by him and his supporting cast. Padraig Records, LLC is proud to add it to our catalog.
