Time Moved On Pat Ament

2018 release. Pat Ament is best known to record collectors for his 1971 debut Songs, a self-released masterpiece. This CD collects the best of his musical output since, all chosen by Ament himself. In addition to music, Ament is a world-renowned mountain climber. He became famous for pioneering '60s and '70s ascents in Colorado and Yosemite. Additionally, he wrote poetic books and essays on climbing, including biographies of legendary climbers Royal Robbins and John Gill. Through the years he's balanced multiple simultaneous careers as artist, photographer, filmmaker, chess master, karate black belt, lecturer, teacher, and, yes, singer-songwriter. The beauty of his songwriting remains clear-eyed throughout Time Moved On, a worthy retrospective highlighting the breadth of his artistry.
