Ray Lynch – Nothing Above My Shoulders But The Evening

Ray Lynch - Nothing Above My Shoulders But The EveningIt’s not very often (in fact, hardly ever) that I recommend an entire album on the strength of its one good song, but the singular worthwhile cut on this album is well worth the price of the whole thing. While the rest of the album seems to sound like a step backward for Lynch, “Ivory” is the best neo-classical piece to hit my ears in a long time. A relaxing piano-flute duet, it makes one ask why the whole album couldn’t have been done in this manner. Nevertheless, even if 2 out of 4only for the four minutes of “Ivory”, I recommend this one.
