Patty Waters - Plays (EP) (2020)

Recorded in 1970 at Coast Recordings (San Francisco) in a session engineered by Steve Atkins, Patty Waters’ “Plays” is a stunning collection of 6 original compositions that until now have been unavailable to the public as a standalone album. In what would have been Patty’s third LP (following 1965’s “Sings” and 1966’s “College Tour”), the “Plays” album serves as the inverse of Patty’s debut. While “Sings” concerned itself with themes of heartbreak, loneliness and yearning, there’s an abundance of love, joy and togetherness on “Plays”.

The two LPs also share structural similarities, in that both contain a collection of short original songs for voice and piano on Side A and a single extended track on Side B. Whereas “Sings” features the now legendary 14 minute vocal reworking of “Black Is The Color of My True Love’s Hair”, “Plays” second side is comprised entirely of a haunting 14 minute solo piano piece titled “Touched by Rodin in a Paris Museum”. Finally receiving it’s rightful place in her brief but illustrious discography, Patty Waters’ “Plays” is officially released for the first time through iTunes and all major streaming platforms.
