Lori Carson's "The Finest Thing" is a record of remembering those rare moments in life when one wishes time would stop. "Quick as you wish you could make it last, it goes that fast", she sings on the title track, and it's the summer of life she speaks of, a precious time of "sweet and salty air", of resting in a lover's embrace. Written as a series of connected meditations, Carson, who has written and performed songs for movies, has created a score-like collection of songs and instrumental pieces that paint a life's journey. In minimal, yet lush, arrangements - guitars float on an ambient sea, as a mournful trumpet introduces a chorus of angels - these 8 pieces move gently forward, telling a story of love and loss, acceptance and hope.
