2006 900 Miles 620EE 1 900 Miles 3:23 2 East Virginia 3:13 3 Livin' Track 3:31 4 The Swallow 4:25 5 St. James Infirmary 3:46 6 Isn't That So 3:56 7 If I Had My Way (Samson & Delilah) 3:47 8 No More Songs 4:48 9 Forgiveness 3:15 10 Asturiana 4:24 Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocia manage to get quite a bit out of not much at all. Their spare collaboration on 900 Miles references a wide swath of folk and jazz, but the nocturnal smokiness of Yarrow's haunted alto and Cappadocia's cello combine for a sound that's slightly outside of the usual music universe. There's some Cowboy Junkies here, a dash of Tuck & Patti there and an overall otherworldliness more akin to a David Lynch movie. Yarrow doesn't just vamp for the whole record though; her range careens from hushed to strident, and she even does a pretty fair PJ Harvey wail (circa 4-Track Demos) on "Linin' Track," and "Isn't That So?" Meanwhile, Cappadocia often puts down his bow, extracting some funk out of "If I Had My Way," or leading off "East Virginia" with a little Latin guitar flavor. But the heart of the record is in the ballads, as the duo stretches out with long, dark adagio passages filled with dust and desire. Bethany & Rufus successfully transcend their limited instrumentation, coming up with a debut that gets better and better with each listen. –Matthew Cooke cd ripped by dBpoweramp please seed http://dickthespic.org/2010/10/14/bethany-and-rufus/
