  Albums that evoke certain feelings of nostalgia

  J. Patrick Gray

  Watertown is such a work of art. The album captures the dissolution of a small-town man's relationship with his wife. Sinatra isn't Sinatra at all: he's just an average guy trying to cobble his broken life back together. The process is beautiful and messy and maudlin in the same way that living is.

  I discovered this around the same time as I watched In a Lonely Place, Humphrey Bogart's magnum opus, and I feel they share a similar DNA. I think I like the idea of the "unsaid" in these tracks. While I'm in a relatively good place, the idea of hardship and having to explain the world to your own children certainly resonates with me.

  Highlighted track: "Michael & Peter"
