Time Won’t Let Us Stay is a 43-minute musical journey to rural Vermont. Inspired by visits to the small town of Belvidere over nearly three decades, its songs capture vivid images of local life with warmth and humor—whether reminiscing about an old family farmhouse and a meandering drive through mountain roads, celebrating a local general store and bluegrass church-service-turned pickin’ party, or meditating on the change of seasons. The finely crafted songs cover a range of folk and roots styles and feature the work of a talented group of musical guests including Joe Barbato (accordion, piano), Bonnie Black (cello), Mari Black (violin), Mia Friedman (violin, banjo), Eric Kilburn (mandolin, lap steel), Emma and Grace Kromm (vocals), and Peter Tillotson (upright bass). Randall is the lead vocalist and also plays acoustic guitar and electric bass on the CD. Randall, who originally hails from Kansas, is an acclaimed Boston-area singer songwriter who performs regularly in area coffeehouses and folk venues, including repeat apperances at the prestigious Club Passim in Cambridge. His first CD, Water Wheel, received many accolades, including from Christine Lavin, who hailed its title track as a “modern classic” and a “new folk standard.” Don White covered the title track on his CD, Winning Streak.
