"Last Train Home" is the highlight of the album Still Life published in 1987 and without a doubt the piece that raised Metheny to the altars of the musical world olympus, which jumped from the album to the television and radio tunings making practically everything The world outlined a gesture of recognition when the metronome rhythm of Paul Wertico's brushes begins to sound moments before Metheny's guitar-sitar begins to play an unforgettable melody. From there, everything is magic and the band is impeccably combined from, especially, the elegant keyboards of a Mays in a state of grace. A masterpiece without palliatives that was to become an instant classic.
However, no one doubts his enormous previous works, some of them pure anthology of jazz fusion such as American Garage, As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Fall, Travels, First Circle among other essential albums.
But it would be from this lavish work where metheny would receive recognition from the general public beyond the field of jazz circuits.
