Watch (Seatrain album) explained
Watch is the fourth and final album of the band Seatrain, recorded in 1973. It is marked with the departure of Peter Rowan and Richard Greene (they formed the band Muleskinner) and the use of more session musicians on instruments like vibraphone, cello, accordion, tuba and oboe.[1] Original members Andy Kulberg and Jim Roberts still remained with the group, though Roberts only contributed to three of the album's nine tracks.
Reception
In a brief retrospective review, Allmusic called Watch "A strange, but intriguing release."
