Strange Conversation is an album by singer/songwriter Kris Delmhorst, released in 2006.

Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Delmhorst takes on setting some works of famous poets to music along with her own original compositions. The lead off track is named after Italian composer Baldassare Galuppi. Inspired by and quoting heavily from the Robert Browning poem , Delmhorst reflects on the composers times and style:

"And the minor third so bitter, the six chord like a sigh,
suspension, solution, asking must we die, must we die must we die?
And the seventh says well fellas, life might not last, but we can try…"

Strange Conversations was recorded at the same time as Delmhorst's follow up CD, Shotgun Singer.

Critic Joe Viglione of Allmusic called Strange Conversation "an impressive and ambitious work that is evidence of the sophistication enveloping the Kris Delmhorst catalog and one hopes that these important musings get noticed beyond the cult that realizes something very special is happening here."

All songs by Kris Delmhorst unless noted.
