September Bowl of Green is an album by the Canadian band the Grapes of Wrath, released in 1985.
[1][2] The initial vinyl pressing of the album included a cover version of the Beatles song "If I Needed Someone"; it was left off of subsequent pressings.
[4] The Advocate opined that "the predominant use of acoustic guitar with electric instruments is nothing new, but the Grapes of Wrath maintains a warm sound without ever once sounding wimpy.
"[6] The Daily Breeze called the album "an uneven but often captivating collection of delicate folk-rock, with lots of strumming acoustic guitars and some winning melodies.
"[7] AllMusic wrote that "the jangly guitars and harmonies win out for a pleasing, though unspectacular, debut.
