The pairing of Beth Packer’s enchanting, instantly distinctive vocal style and the always sparing accompaniment, never much more than partner Clinton Hough’s ideally suited guitar atmospherics, make for a most original appropriation of blues, jazz and other things- and one compelling and unique musical presence. Ms. Packer’s lyric sets, frequently dark but not always so, lie in wait, providing a second wave of seduction. Standout tracks on a fascinating set overall include “Carousel”, “Monster Swan Blues” and “Gonna Be Rain”.
