"It was a reference to “Belle,” the brilliant Damien Rice-like CD from singer-songwriter Paul Tiernan, which put us on the trail to the album “Window Seat” by New Yorker Colin McGrath. If “Window Seat” were only half as beautiful as “Belle,” it would already be worthwhile, we thought, but after having played the album threadbare during the last months, we can only conclude that it is more beautiful, also more varied and despite the similarities, still totally different.

Window Seat comes through with a clear, mild singer-songwriter pop which is less based on melancholy than on sophisticated ‘folky’ songs, which are so perfectly produced by William Berlind that they are always evocative and tasteful. On CD Baby this CD is recommended for lovers of James Taylor, Jackson Brown and Paul Simon, but we have not heard these gentlemen as good as Colin McGrath since the seventies and while McGrath’s style shows a few similarities, we hear foremost his most engaging, but very own face."
