Like the blend of multiple hues that peak through the clouds on the album cover, the members of Pearly Clouds offer an array of textural and diverse musical colors. This is a unique meeting of the minds which includes former Captain Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas, East European jazz saxophonist Toni Dezso and Hungarian vocalist Eniko Szabo. The music covers the spectrum, from the haunting and meditative “My Sweet Mother’s Rosewood” to Leo Kottke-like acoustic guitar ruminations on “My Snow White.” Difficult to categorize, perhaps, but an engaging and compelling cultural exchange, nonetheless.
