Sweet Session - She Moved Through the Fair
Sweet Session - A Dog Barking at Night
Originally slated as the debut of John Millard's new Hope Street trio, illness instead shifted things so that this set was performed by Rob Clutton and Randi Helmers' duo project. Having time to stretch out over two sets gave the pair time to reach past the musical settings of Shakespeare's sonnets that have been their main focus (although several were tackled here) to explore through some other jazzy and folky realms. A couple songs (including the first one presented here) reached back to the pair's 2004 duo album, while others glanced off Clutton's association with Drumheller and the pair's membership in Pete Johnston's Stanger Still project.
