Diary is the second album by American guitarist and composer Ralph Towner recorded in 1973 and released on the ECM label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by David R. Adler awarded the album 3 stars stating "It's a solo performance with a twist: Towner plays not only 12-string and classical guitars, but also very competent piano... Towner accompanies himself via overdubs, playing both guitar and piano for an effect vaguely reminiscent of Bill Evans' Conversations With Myself".^[2]
