On Storm & Grace, producer T Bone Burnett dresses Presley's dusky voice in stark, beautifully textured folk-pop arrangements that show off her famous Southern roots. It's a more flattering fit than her previous outings have offered, and likely to enhance Presley's critical cachet; but all the artful moodiness begins to feel self-conscious after a while, and ultimately doesn't reveal a more distinct identity.
