Notes: Personnel: Patty Larkin (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, lap steel guitar, National guitar, baritone guitar, bass guitar, chimes, loops). WATCH THE SKY continues folk-songstress Patty Larkin's string of critically acclaimed long-players for High Street and Vanguard released in the 1990s and 2000s. Playing 12 different instruments and mastering a variety of styles, all with her trademark looseness and sensuality, Larkin delivers a platter full of spacious and haunting folk-noir would-be classics.

Dirty Linen (p.50) - "Larkin is at her most experimental and most intimate, juxtaposing unlikely elements to flesh out some of her most revealing compositions to date....A unique, multifaceted listening experience." No Depression (p.76) - "She uses nearly a dozen instruments to create a landscape of layered sound that goes beyond the singer-songwriter norm with unexpected results."

Patty Larkin studied classical piano as a child, but in her teens, she switched to guitar. After performing as a street and subway busker in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts while studying jazz guitar at the renowned Berklee School of Music, Larkin made her recorded debut with 1985's STEP INTO THE LIGHT. While maintaining a steady solo career, Larkin also collaborated with Christine Lavin, Megan McDonough and Sally Fingerett to form the singer-songwriter collective Four Bitchin' Babes. In 2005, she compiled and released an anthology of female guitarists, LA GUITARA: GENDER BENDING STRINGS.
