Synopsis

Album Description
"[Elizabeth Ward Land] possesses a miraculous voice and musical sensitivity that makes every song she touches shine. She's every composer's dream!" -- Alan Menken, Academy Award Winning Composer With terrific vocals by Elizabeth Ward Land and covering an astounding array of genres and styles, this album has something for every music listener--each track telling it's own musical story in a distinctive way. Sensitive and exquisitely rendered arrangements by John Boswell, including his own "When You Take My Hand." Beautiful harmonies on the wistful duet "Flies on the Butter" with recording star Lee Lessack and, purely for fun, a 1930s-style "42nd Street" featuring Shout Sister (Michelle Duffy, Elizabeth Ward Land, and Amy Pietz). "Elizabeth Ward Land is gifted both vocally and dramatically." -- ReviewPlays.com "Elizabeth Ward Land uses restrained poise and an exquisite voice to win the audience's heart." -- Hollywood Reporter "Elizabeth Ward Land complements her tightly acted portrayal with a magnificent singing voice." -- TheatreMania.com "Elizabeth Ward Land's voice is so intense, it mesmerizes." -- La Jolla Light

ELIZABETH WARD LANDS A WINNING DEBUT!
Alan W. Petrucelli | THE ENTERTAINMENT REPORT (ALAN W. PETRUCELLI) | 05/07/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"There's a new girl singer in town, and she's a wowser---and there's no anti-feminist disrespect here. Elizabeth Ward Land has just released a CD meant to be permanently placed on a shelf alongside Billie, Judy, Doris and Ella. Aptly enough entitled First Harvest, it's a fantastic blend of styles, from stage and screen through gospel and country. "A Change in Me," from Tim Rice and Alan Menken's Beauty and the Beast, is re-thought for an adult mindset; Mary Chapin Carpenter's "It Don't Bring You" is as heartbreaking as always, the classic '60s anthem "A Taste of Honey" as honest as a folk song, and the CD finishes with a jazzy, hot, boop-oop-a-doop version of the Dubin-Warren classic "42nd Street." Land's voice adapts remarkably to the disparate material, yet it's difficult to compare her with any other singer. Her diction, tone and pitch are perfect, but unquestionably it is her love of this material that sets this CD apart."
