Review

A Quiet Eye finds British singer June Tabor continuing to explore the "chamber-folk" avenue she first ventured down with 1992's Angel Tiger. Backed by the Creative Jazz Orchestra, Tabor puts her smoky, evocative alto in service of an assortment of traditional tunes ("The Water is Wide"), pop standards ("I'll Be Seeing You"), and contemporary material, including Richard Thompson's "Waltzing for Dreamers" and "Pharaoh." The one-time Silly Sister's taste for minor-key melodies--in tandem with Hum Warren's lush arrangements dominated by piano, reeds, and brass--creates a somewhat gloomy but warm ambiance that makes A Quiet Eye apt rainy-day listening, à la Marianne Faithfull's Strange Weather and Mary Coughlan's After the Fall. --Steven Stolder
