Patty Larkin - Tango (1991)

"Tango" is a studio album by American folk singer and songwriter Patty Larkin, released in 1991 on the High Street/Windham Hill label. The album became one of the artist's most significant releases and was promoted through her participation in the "On a Winter's Night" tour. The musical style of the recording combines elements of folk, acoustic music, and singer-songwriter traditions, with a rich instrumental palette including acoustic guitar, fretless bass, violin, and percussion. The album's lyrics are characterized by introspection and reflection, addressing themes of interpersonal relationships as well as social issues, such as the song "Metal Drums," which is dedicated to an environmental disaster in Massachusetts. The title track "Tango" stands out with dynamic vocals and Larkin's virtuosic guitar playing based on open tunings and fast arpeggios. The song later appeared on the live album "A Gogo" (1999, reissued in 2006), highlighting its significance in the artist's repertoire. The album is available on streaming platforms including Spotify and YouTube.​
