Shivaree has built a career out of the torch song. The California trio, Ambrosia Parsley (vocals), Duke McVinnie (guitar), and Danny McGough (keyboards), combines the subtle twang of the Cowboy Junkies with the jazzy sophistication of Billie Holiday. The end result makes for the perfect late-night listen.
On Who's Got Trouble, they're joined by over a dozen musicians on cello, violin, and other instruments, but Parsley's girlish, yet knowing voice is the centerpiece of their seductive sound. Their third full-length follows an auspicious appearance in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: Volume 2 ("Goodnight Moon," from their debut, I Oughtta Give You a Shot in the Head For Making Me Live in This Dump, plays over the end credits).
It features nine originals, highlighted by the reverb-laden "I Close My Eyes," and two fine covers, Dave Bartholomew and Pearl King's wistful "Someday" and Brian Eno's strange, surrealistic "The Fat Lady of Limbourg." --Kathleen C. Fennessy
