The collaboration album "Way Out South" by South African-German jazz vocalist Natascha Roth and guitarist James Scholfield is described by critics as an excellent, deep, and hypnotic musical journey. The renowned magazine Sound On Sound praised the production for its flawless execution and dense sonic atmospheres.

Review OverviewAtmosphere: A journey into a world of rich sounds, wide spaces, and hypnotic rhythms. The "South" is treated as both an inner spiritual place and a physical reality.

Vocals & Guitar: Reviewers compare Natascha Roth's vocal style on this album to the gentle, slightly vibrating timbre of Emmylou Harris. This is paired with the layered, arpeggiated guitar sounds of James Scholfield.

Production Quality: Because the album is arranged in a very gentle, intimate, and downbeat-oriented style, Sound On Sound noted there is "scant room to hide poor performances or flawed sounds." The interplay, vocals, and recording quality are consistently rated as outstanding.Natascha Roth-Vocals James Scholfield-Guitars Kevin Gibson-Percussion Denis Moses-Guitar on Mariana
