    This may be Cline's quietest recording, but it is one of his finest.

    Blending Cline originals and recent covers with reimagined standards by the likes of Jerome Kern and Rodgers & Hart, all realised in beautifully enigmatic arrangements which wrap woodwind, horns, strings and tuned percussion around Cline’s guitar. Throughout, atmosphere is paramount.

    On Lovers, Cline is effective at making re-interpreted songbook selections his own.
