Traces of an Old Vineyard (KKV)
After several fascinating collaborations, the first solo album from the Iranian singer finds her setting the classical poetry of Rumi and Omar Khayyam to a simple but thrilling accompaniment of Western keyboards, traditional percussion and kamancheh (spike fiddle), sung in a voice that ranges from brooding suspense to rapturous ecstasy. A Top of the World in #107.
