The Boatman's Call — 1997

A hushed, piano-led record of heartbreak and faith, a stark turn toward intimacy. Beautiful and acclaimed. His most personal. The one in the run that sometimes gets overlooked — don't let it.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
