Hal Ketchum's Father Time is the  ninth album in a distinguished musical career that includes such indelible Top 10 hits as "Small Town Saturday Night," "Past The Point of Rescue," "Hearts Are Gonna Roll" and "Stay Forever." It may well be his masterpiece. On the 14-song tour de force, the man hailed as "the most exquisite voice in country music" (USA Today) and "one hell of a storyteller" (the9513.com) who "couldn't write a bad song if he tried" (All Music Guide) delivers one hell of an exquisite album that plays from first track to last like the work of a lifetime. It's a musically and lyrically opulent and vibrant opus that is both immediate and timeless.

Father Time was created in two magical days of recording direct to two tracks with a crew of some of Nashville's most virtuosic players and backup singers. It was both arranged and mixed as the music was made, with no overdubs. Like the gems from Sun Studio or Bradley's Barn that still sound as fresh and compelling as the day they were cut, Ketchum recorded Father Time without a net, relying on the strength of his finest collection of songs yet and an almost psychic unity between singer and musicians, capturing lightning in a bottle often on the very first or second take.
