It's been a humble journey for The Baker Suite's lad and lady since blending their undeniable talents 12 years ago.
But the Adelaide folksters bring us their best offering yet, tinkering with the old and the new on their latest Still Life. The moody, cinematic, fireside tales this pairing and their players weave together mesmerise in the intimate accordion-and-string-riddled Big Bill's Dream and in the more unsettling undertones of Hindley Street. Gayle Buckby and John Baker's vocal pairing is magical, but Baker especially transfixes throughout; Time Bomb and The House Where You Lived the standouts. The product of a serendipitous collaboration of intuitive musicians, Still Life paints rich tapestries in music and words.
