    Those who know Bassist/Composer Viktor Krauss primarily by his supporting roles with Lyle Lovett, Bill Frisell, Jerry Douglas, and scores of others, might be surprised by the eclectic range of the original music on his 2007 recording II. On the other hand, listeners familiar with Krauss’ remarkable 2004 solo debut, Far From Enough (Nonesuch), and attuned to the finer details of his recording and touring credits—with everyone from Carly Simon, Elvis Costello, John Fogerty, Shelby Lynne, and Graham Nash to Chet Atkins, the Chieftains, and Joan Baez—will find II quite consonant with that eclectic track record.

    Although II is clearly kin to Far from Enough, it is less a sequel than a bolder and more colorful expression of Krauss’ ebullient and multifaceted musical personality. From the low rumble acceleration into the gleaming guitar-driven glide of the opener “Hop,” through six more richly textured instrumentals and three stunning vocal turns by Lyle Lovett, Shawn Colvin, and Ben Taylor, II reflects Krauss’ restless curiosity and masterful ability to integrate his interests in film scores, jazz, rock, R&B, and pop.
