Ray Lake - Put 'er Up
A child of outport Newfoundland, raised on the accordion and the fiddle, but captivated by Beatles and the Stones, Ray Lake has found his own niche in the contemporary Newfoundland music scene that makes him unique. I dare you to listen to this CD and not tap your toes! It can't be done!
If you have ever been at a Newfoundland House Party, when the music is going, and the spirit's are high, then you know there is a moment when the song ends and no matter what problems you may face, they seem inconsequential. The music and the company can erase all that from you, and you are totally, completely at ease. It is usually at this point in the proceedings that someone in the back of the room will yell "Put 'er up, my son!" and the music starts again, with a renewed energy that call's on the soul to dance like there is no tomorrow.
That, in a nutshell is the essence of this Album.
If you would like to pick up a copy of this, or any other great Newfoundland Artist CD's, (In person or online), just visit Fred's Records. They have the best selection of Newfoundland music you're likely to find, along with all your favorites!
