A steal at $8 if for no other reason than ECM pressed on incredibly good vinyl.

Pat Metheny, Watercolors

February 21, 2018 by Brian Fay in Listening

Watercolors is an album I didn't have as a kid and hardly listened to on streaming. Usually, I lumped it in with American Garage which isn't much of an album, but this is better than that and has more of the feel of As Falls Wichita... but in a rougher, earlier state. I picked it up mostly to work at completing my Metheny collection and because a poor Metheny album is still better than most artist's good work. It makes good writing music as I can attest right now. 

I should really work on how to write an album review, if that's what I'm doing here. It's worth studying the form to see how it's done. Of course, I would have to know the album a hell of a lot better in order to review it. This is only my second listening. 

Purchased at Jack's Rhythms, New Paltz, NY on a college visit.
