“Once and for All” is a thoroughly engaging blend of songs and musicianship. Lynne Timmes-Carlock sets her earnest, catchy, and meaningful songs in the deft musicianship of Keith Carlock and a band of Nashville heavyweights, just as you would set gemstones in a masterfully-crafted piece of gold.
There is a lot to listen to here: Keith Carlock’s (Steely Dan, Wayne Krantz, Oz Noy, James Taylor, John Mayer, and Sting) drums and production, Michael Whittaker’s (Cake, Don Grusin) keyboard work, guitars by Chip Martin (Randy Travis, Restless Heart) and George Marinelli (Bonnie Raitt), and Adam Nitti’s (Steven Curtis Chapman, Mike Stern) bass create, with Lynne’s songs, a truly unique and rewarding listening experience.
Enjoy!
