II

Multifaceted musical personality Viktor Krauss has been the backbone for such artists as Lyle Lovett, Elvis Costello and Dolly Parton. As an iontegral member of those well respected groups, Krauss often served as bassist and musical director. On II, Krauss displays his musical prowess with his original cinematic compositions and superbly executed bass works. From the low rumble acceleration into the gleaming guitar driven glide of the opener through six more richly textured instrumentals and three stunning vocal tracks, II reflects Krauss's restless curiosity and masterful ability to integrate his interest in film scores, jazz, rock, R&B and pop.
