about

Those who frequent the lost high often wind up in unusual places. It's been over ten years since I first stepped foot in The Record Room; nestled away in the rolling hills of West Virginia, and I'm still buying tickets plane tickets to spend time on the second floor of a house that is weathered as weathered as the folks that inhabit it. You won't find The Record Room listed in any of the West Virginia tourism brochures, and the address doesn't register on any geographical tracking device. It's sort of a "Best Kept Secret" or "Eighth Wonder of the World" for those who believe that music is more than a hum in the distance.

It's Apparent when listening to Tim Lancaster that his will for songwriting is deeply rooted, and he's managed to pick from his inspirations and deliver a sound that is unique and inspiring. It wasn't long after we met that we were on the road together, bound for West Virginia; bound for the record room: the grand-daddy masonic temple for music junkies, entrance granted by invitation only; you don't go to it. It comes to you. And it only makes sense that a designated listening area of this caliber would be the most appropriate spot to record an album. And it was. With a flashing red sign that reads "Lonestar: The National Beer of Texas" illuminating the record room like a ray of light sent down by the god of analog mountain, Tim Played for days, and everyone present during these sessions sat speechless and amazed. This is a collection of songs straight from the guts. A breath of fresh air to a jaded audience looking for modern music that is potent and sincere. Once you enter The Record Room there's only one way out: The Whiskey Hole, and you never come back quite the same. Tim sat perched in the corner and flew out the other end like a true songbird, accompanied not only with memories, but with an album that has found its way into your hands in the same fashion that Tim Lancaster found his way to The Record Room, a detour off the lost highway.

about

Tim Lancaster Huntington, West Virginia

There is a great man in every story, but an even greater story in every man. I write songs to tell a story. I write songs to be part of a story: a story that someone could read as he sits on the bus, or as she waits for her prescription to be filled. Poetry is my way of keeping away from all that has become normal. It is a constant reminder to not slip into feeling content. ... more
