MoonDial

Metheny recorded Moondial while on break from his Dream Box tour. On the album, he played on a custom built baritone guitar made by the luthier Linda Manzer. He also tuned the guitar to a custom tuning system, which required custom Nylon strings as most could not handle the system. The album features 12 compositions, comprising a mix of both originals and covers. Metheny had written most of the original tracks during the Dream Box tour, except for "This Belongs to You", a composition he originally recorded in 2012. == Reception ==

Thom Jurek wrote in AllMusic, "If you appreciate Metheny's acoustic guitar recordings, MoonDial will undoubtedly delight, and its elegance folds seamlessly into its predecessors". Doug Collette in Glide Magazine wrote that "There's an emotional investment in play on Moondial by which Pat derives a tangible pleasure that correlates directly to his sense of accomplishment". Stuart Nicholson of Jazzwise particularly praised Metheny's renditions of "Here, There, And Everywhere", "Angel Eyes", and "My Love and I" for hitting "the right mood here with performances of subtlety, nuance, warmth and humanity". == Track listing ==
