Synopsis

Album Description
Children On A Ride is "an exceptionally constructed slice of contemporary folk"; Beth Lodge-Rigal's best work to date. It is an acoustic album which focuses on elegant, literate, songwriting in the tradition of the best contemporary songwriters. This is a "spacious" recording which highlights Lodge-Rigal's breathy, smooth voice, and unique,deep rhythmic grooves and picking on the acoustic guitar. Arrangements vary from sparse, guitar/vocal tunes, tto full band treatments on some including piano, mandolin, percussion, electric bass and Hammond B3 Organ. All in all it is a delicious, aural experience performed by some of the Midwest's best players.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm on my third listen of this lovely CD. One Safe Place, a song she says she wrote "in the shadow of tragic world events", echoes both the melancholy and hope she must have been feeling at the time. Thank You, Help Me reminds me what prayer is all about. As with any good folk album, these are simple songs about complex issues that get to the heart of the issue in a straight forward manner. Nothing beats great writing and singing. Sit back, relax and enjoy..."
