Field of Grass EP CD
Originally released on Sony/Orchard in 2021, Jeff Lake’s debut EP, “Field of Grass” comes roaring out of the gate with an uptempo, bluegrass version of Janis Ian’s “Better Times Will Come” - a song written during the covid lock-down. Replete with mandolin, banjo, fiddle, upright bass & 3 part vocal harmony, Lake’s version of the song has garnered over 120k views on YouTube. Another cover, The Beatles' “I’ve Just Seen A Face” receives a similar, traditional bluegrass treatment putting a new spin on this old classic. But, the mastery of Lake’s own acoustic guitar playing, and the beauty of his high tenor vocal range shine through moreso on the Celtic-influenced “Calico Skies”, “Today”, and the title-track. Lake includes an alternate version of “Better Times Will Come” with a score for string trio as a bonus track.
