Prince And The Revolution – Around The World In A Day VG+/VG+

Swimming With A Hole In My Body is an album by the American jazz guitarist Bill Connors, released in 1980. This album represents a distinctive phase in Connors’ musical journey, marking a departure from the more electric, fusion-oriented sound of his earlier work with the band Return to Forever and his subsequent solo projects.

In “Swimming With A Hole In My Body,” Connors shifts towards a more introspective and acoustic approach. The compositions, characterized by their melodic richness and technical precision, showcase Connors’ profound ability to blend complexity with emotional depth. The album primarily features solo guitar work, with Connors demonstrating a mastery of the nylon-string acoustic guitar.

Upon its release, the album was well-received for its innovation and the skillful execution of a more subdued, yet equally profound, musical expression compared to Connors’ earlier fusion works.
