Review

Uncut (4/04, p.106) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[I]t's all about mood and at times resembles a soundtrack to an up-market travel documentary through the American South."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.97) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[W[hile there are plenty of noisier records out there, few can charm you quite like this one. A low-key delight."

Title Note

Personnel: Viktor Krauss (vocals, electric guitar, electric piano, bass,

arco bass, drums); Alison Krauss (vocals, viola); Bill Frisell (acoustic & electric guitars); Jerry Douglas (lap steel guitar, dobro); Steve Jordan (drums, congas).

Recorded at Sound Emporium, Brown Cloud Studios, Nashville, Tennessee.

A highly valued session player since the early 1990s, bassist Viktor Krauss has played with such illustrious figures as Lyle Lovett, Bill Frisell, and the Chieftains. Krauss's precise, opulent bass sound and compositions--which reveal a flair for incorporating elements of jazz, country, rock, and cinematic music--are showcased to superb effect on his first solo outing, FAR FROM ENOUGH. Krauss is joined on this eclectic, largely instrumental record by guitarist Frisell, drummer Steve Jordan, and dobro/lap-steel player Jerry Douglas.

The few vocal turns on the album are primarily taken by the leader's renowned sister, Alison Krauss, whose angelic soprano (and fiddle playing) will be immediately familiar to bluegrass fans. Interestingly, Alison's vocals are primarily background--wordless voicings meant to add color and shading. The exception is a gauzy, gorgeous cover of Robert Plant's "Big Log." For the most part, Frisell's trademark, sonically textured guitar is in the foreground on FAR FROM ENOUGH. In fact, the record bears a strong resemblance to some of Frisell's own releases. This is not a bad thing, as the sophistication and stylistic adventurousness that characterize Frisell's recordings are fully present here. All told, this is a beautiful debut by a remarkable and dynamic musician.
