Colin Meloy- Colin Meloy Sings Together-2xLP

Colin Meloy Sings Together gathers a rich selection of Meloy’s solo EPs recorded between 2005 and 2013, blending his original songwriting with thoughtful covers that range from Morrissey’s "Sister I'm A Poet" to the traditional "Barbara Allen" and the stirring "Turpin Hero." Meloy’s knack for storytelling shines through in personal pieces like "I Know Very Well How I Got My Name," where he reflects on identity with his characteristic lyricism. The album offers a window into Meloy’s musical influences and solo artistry, distinct from his work with The Decemberists. This 2023 pressing presents the collection on clear blue vinyl, which adds a subtle visual twist that’s as inviting as Meloy’s voice. It’s a solid choice for listeners who appreciate the intersection of folk tradition and indie songwriting, and the clear blue pressing might just make you reconsider where this one lives on your shelf—because sometimes, the music isn’t the only thing that’s transparent here.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
