• Central Reservation is Beth Ortons second studio album, released in 1999, and it’s a beautiful fusion of folk, electronica, and trip-hop a continuation of the sound she pioneered with her debut, Trailer Park.

  The title track, Central Reservation, exists in two versions on the album: the more upbeat “Then Again” version and a slower, more introspective acoustic take.
