Ember Days by Carl Weingarten

". . . the melodies that form the backbone of each piece are bold and unforgettable, and will easily get stuck in your mind, and pop up when you least expect. So the title Ember Days, as well as the cut by the same name, as well as others like “Goodbye Sun,” “Blue Spaces,” and the standout “What the Raindrop Saw” are references to the 2020 wildfire season in California, where at times the sky seemed to consumed by fire, or completely obscured by smoke for weeks on end. The tenth track on Ember Days is “What the Raidrop Saw (Cafe Mix)” that follows the original, but omits any of the electric slide guitar and voice parts, and thus offers a stronger role for Walker’s piano. From the composition and arrangement standpoint, these tracks stand as strong as anything one would expect based on Weingarten’s previous efforts, and it’s easy to want to just keep hitting the replay button and going through it over and over." --Expose Magazine
