Viktor Krauss 'II' Review
American Songwriter
by Bill Levine

The long-time  bassist for Lyle Lovett and session player for others in prog-country and contemporary Americana has crafted another fine solo effort.  Imagine a soundtrack to a rootsy, somewhat shadowy indie flick that hovers between rural wandering and suburban quests for the real, and you’d hire Krauss in an instant to give you the score.  He decks out his simple folkish melodies with intricate guitar parts and keyboard textures that envelop the multiple voices of Dean Parks’ session axe and rock backbeats.  Shawn Colvin’s girlish guest vocals give an innocent, dreamy turn to the pscyhedelia of Pink Floyd’s Shine on You Crazy Diamond.
