There’s a Time There’s a Moment

Description

There’s a Time There’s a Moment is the debut album by the American folk quartet Ellis and Lynch (Ron and Nancy Ellis together with Michael and Collene Lynch), self-released on Ra-O Records in 1974. The album was recorded by Nancy Ellis at Raven Music Studio with the group producing. Mixed and mastered by Ben Jordan at Original Sound.

The most delicate of folk groups featuring Ron and Nancy Ellis together with Michael and Collene Lynch. Their debut There’s A Time There’s A Moment is a first-class charmer that melts your heart with fragile harmonies overtop gentle acoustic guitar, piano and flute. Beautiful graceful melodies are lovingly expressed through songs like «Look At My Gifts», «Jesus Heal Us», «Song Of Ruth», «Sweet Sweet Sound» and the title track. «Taste And See» has some nice acoustic guitar leads, while «Our Father» is enriched by cello accompaniment. Catholic I’m assuming since one of the songs is «Hymn To Mary». A wonderful example of stirring mellow acoustic music. Is that a tear forming in my eye? Nah, couldn’t be.
