Watertower is an album by the American musician Michael Hurley, released in 1988.

[10] Robert Christgau noted that Hurley "still writes more calmly and curiously about the great beyond than anyone.

"[13] In a 1996 review of Wolfways, Miami New Times opined that Watertower was where Hurley's "laid-back expoundings started sounding lazy.

"[16] In 2000, USA Today wrote: "No one plays folk blues like this anymore, and Hurley's lyrics waste no time with concepts that fall short of the eternal.

His playful, earnest songs deal with the mythological importance of the moon, dreams, dead blues masters and the creative urge.
