The Tide (album)

Red House Records released a remastered version on October 4, 2005, including two bonus tracks.

Critical reception

The Boston Herald wrote that the album "is a fine showcase for Kaplansky's small but emotive voice, a warbling approach that has its limits, but often pierces through to the frightened heart of a lovelorn lyric."
