    Tucson is less a linear narrative and more a collection of songs with a thematic thread and consistent atmosphere.

    Tuscon requires patient listening, but aside from that one vital misstep [the song, Recovery Mission], the album keeps moving. It's combined a pleasing unpredictability with steadiness that supports Gelb's operatic vision.

    Steel guitar, accordion, mariachi trumpet, lounge piano or a small string section are available as needed, but most of the music stays modest and intimate, staying out of the way of the graceful tunes and laconic thoughts.
