Album DescriptionThe 1996 debut of Musaic Records artist, Mary Beth. Produced by Broadway director Jason Moore, this easy-listening CD highlights clarity -- straightforward, moving lyrics backed by simple, beautiful arrangements bring songs about love, desire, and lightness to life. Lush vocals are backed by grand piano, guitar, strings, and occasional woodwinds to create a mood that surges upbeat and rests mellow, but always seems to find a comfortable place in your life. Songs like "Birches" and "Whitman's Beach" draw inspiration from literary sources like Robert Frost and Walt Whitman, while "Michael's Getting Married" and "Where You Are" explore a terrain firmly rooted in the complex present. This CD has sold thousands of copies by word of mouth and is sure to be a favorite on your "new discoveries" shelf.
