"True collaboration is that willingness to extend yourself to a new place but in a way that does not feel like anything has been given up," says singer-songwriter Tift Merritt. While collaboration between musicians of different genres is nothing new, it's difficult to do well. The album "Night," a collaboration between Merritt and classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein, does just that. Reviewer Katy Henriksen explores the collaboration in which classical composers like Schubert and Purcell connect seamlessly to Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain," the folk traditional "Wayfaring Stranger," a Leonard Cohen inspired instrumental and much more to create a singular song cycle that could only come from these two musicians.Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large
