Brilliant, folky character studies recorded, like a Lomax recording, on walkman.
Bio / Background
Bill Foreman's first solo record. Recorded, with two exceptions, the morning and early afternoon of April 11, 1997, on a walkman-type cassette recorder in San Diego, CA.
"Mostly recorded on April 11, 1997 on a walkman-type recorder, The Bathroom Mirror is an exercise in Dylan-esque confessional folk. As Bill Foreman had passed through a number of bands, the already refined narrative songwriting of his solo debut is strong enough to not be obscured by the admittedly unprofessional recording quality. Strangely, the lack of studio sheen works to Foreman's advantage, only upping the intimacy of tracks dominated by understated acoustic guitar and vocals. It also helps a great deal that some of these tracks rank among his best, with Foreman's enormous talent for utilizing vivid language to inhabit his character's perspectives almost making it as likely that the listener will remember these songs visually through the images they evoke as the melody.
