This is a vinyl reissue of Beth’s second album which was released back in’ 99. The single, LA Song ,would be a success for her as it reached the Billboard Top 10. For those that don’t know, she won the Star Search show on US tv and that’s how she got her big break.
In my opinion, she is one of the best vocalists around today as she pours so much feel and soul into everything she does. This is much more singer/songwriter style to what she is doing today which has more of a blues/roots vibe going down. As with a lot of her work, it’s semi autobiographical and if you read between the lines, a lot of her songs are very personal.
This album is a such a great record I cannot recommend it high enough. There are no loud guitars or pounding drums, just superb songs performed by one my generation’s great artists. I won’t point out a favourite as I love it all.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
