Cherry Red Records Songs Of A Lifetime

THE NEW LIVE
ALBUM FROM KING CRIMSON AND EMERSON LAKE & PALMER FOUNDER GREG LAKE



Esoteric Antenna are pleased to announce the release of the new GREG
LAKE album, “SONGS OF A LIFETIME”.



As a founder member of KING CRIMSON and EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, Greg
has been a major creative force in music for over 40 years. In 2012 he embarked
on a solo tour to perform “Songs of a Lifetime”, a unique concert experience
that was conceived whilst Greg was writing his autobiography. “From time to time during the writing these
songs would crop up that were in some way crucial or extremely important in the
development of my career” he explains. “These were not always songs that I had
written myself, but sometimes songs that had been written and performed by
other artists as well. I realised that they actually represented the journey
that I had shared together with the audience over all these years.”



Behind these songs
there was often a story to be told and it occurred to me that the same must be
true for the audience as well. It was then that I thought of the idea of doing
a series of very small intimate concerts where I could perform these songs and exchange
stories with the audience, in a way reliving the time when the music we shared
together really became part of our identity and in a way became the backdrop to
our lives, a sort of tapestry I suppose.



These recordings were
taken from a selection of the shows performed on the tour”. The album is a
unique record of a unique live experience from one of the legendary figures in
Rock music.
