Short intro

Diary is the second album by American guitarist and composer Ralph Towner recorded in 1973 and released on the ECM label. Adler awarded the album 3 stars, stating, It's a solo performance with a twist: Towner plays not only 12-string and classical guitars, but also very competent piano. Towner accompanies himself via overdubs, playing both guitar and piano for an effect vaguely reminiscent of Bill Evans' Conversations with Myself. On four of the remaining six tracks, Towner accompanies himself via overdubs, playing both guitar and piano for an effect vaguely reminiscent of Bill Evans' Conversations With Myself. The best of these is Icarus, one of Towner's best-known compositions, which also appeared on Matchbook, his 1976 duo album with Gary Burton. Songs in album Ralph Towner - Diary 1973.

Diary is for the most part played solely by Ralph Towner himself and whilst the classical guitar playing is the trademark sound of Towner, the piano and keyboards are much more evident on Diary and by far play the biggest influence to the album. There are four tracks that really standout here, the opening Dark Spirit which sets. Listen to Ralph Towner Radio featuring songs from Diary free online.
