Twenty-something Durrett, the niece of southern musical interpreter Vic Chesnutt, has lent her voice and musical talents to a number of her uncle's recordings over the last decade. This debut is a collection of songs she amassed over those early years. Recorded and performed with Chesnutt between 1996 and 1999, "Husk" is a ghostly album overflowing with swells of melodic murkiness. Durrett's meandering guitar waltzes past the dust-ball corners of Chesnutt's eerie production and vocal harmonies as the sounds of Wurlitzers, trombones, accordions, and broken down drums provide a darkened backdrop to the lighter, swirling vocal melodies of her soothing voice.

In contrast to Liz's previous work, her second release is a surprisingly hi-fi affair. Gone are the hissing ghosts and unsure echoes that once haunted and obscured her recordings. Her voice and guitar are the focus here, and she performs with more energy, determination, and flat out rawness than ever before. These eleven songs cover a lot of ground. Produced by Vic Chesnutt and engineered by Andy Baker (Macha, Japancakes, Glands).
