User Reviews: Letter from Home

  • Overall:

    Exciting, uplifting, soothing

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 18, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Letter from Home review helpful

    I can't say enough good things about this album. I first bought it just after its release, having heard some singles by Pat Metheney, and was immediately hooked. It's an album to fit every mood, from sedate ("Every Summer Night") to excited ("Beat ...70"), and even ethereal, like the wonderful dreamy end portion of "Are We There Yet," which reminds me of the perfect soundtrack to that time when you're almost, but not quite, asleep, floating in half-awareness and thinking of your day.

  • Overall:

    A great album to unwind to!

    I was new to Pat Metheny when I bought this, and I have been hooked ever since. This is a great album to spend an hour just listening to. Each song, long or short, seems like a seperate journey you'll want to take over and over. If you like "real" m...usic, from "real" instruments, you are going to enjoy this... Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Letter from Home

  • All Music Guide

    Picking up where Still Life (Talking) leaves off (instead of throwing listeners a curve ball like Song X), the equally triumphant Letter from Home stresses Brazilian elements with superb results. While a number of these treasures including "Beat 70," "Have You Heard," and "Every Summer Night" are light and accessible enough to have enjoyed exposure on some smooth jazz stations, Letter contains the type of depth and honesty that's sorely lacking in most smooth jazz. Metheny has always known the difference between light and lightweight, and even at his most delicate, he avoids entering "Muzak" territory. True to form, the improviser doesn't shy away from making extensive use of technology, but is insightful enough to do so in a very warm and soulful fashion. Like Still Life, Letter from Home is a fine example of a CD that is both a commercial and an artistic success.

Biography

Pat Metheny

One of the most original guitarists from the '80s onward (he is instantly recognizable), Pat Metheny is a chance-taking player who has gained great popularity but also taken some wild left turns. His records with the Pat Metheny Group are difficult to describe (folk-jazz? mood music?) but managed to be both accessible and original, stretching the boundaries of jazz and ... Read more
