Open Letter

Open Letter is an album by guitarist Ralph Towner recorded in 1991 and 1992 and released on the ECM label. Reception The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson awarded the album 3 stars, stating, "Ralph Towner's a difficult case. The snoozy noodlings of his former band Oregon can be downright stupefying, but his solo work is often, though not always, quite a bit more interesting. Open Letter walks both sides of the line, but succeeds more often than it fails.
