The Woody Nightshade = LP = (LP)
This is Kraus' fourth release, and she's picking up notice, including some rather flattering attention from one of the world's truly great music mags, The Wire. She encants in a lovely drear voice atop stripped-down instrumentation sharing kin with Popul Vuh, Third Ear Band, and other famed 70s ensembles specializing in updated folk strains cleaving closely to original intent. As with all such things, there's indeed beauty present, especially in the angelic harmony vocals in Evergreen Sisters and elsewhere. A fivesome accompanies Ms. Kraus, and they're dutifully. lucidly, and artistically restrained, human exercises in pastel and fog.
