Beth Thornley - Self-Titled
|
 Beth Thornley is a combination of Pat Benatar meets Sheryl Crow, in physical appearance and in voice. Not a bad combination if I do say so myself. I noticed that she looks like two entirely different people when you compare the cover of the CD to the back, its interesting what a different angle of camera captures.
On her self-titled album, she lets her voice mold every song with powerful burst of energy that come right from her toes. Nowhere is it more apparent than on “Don’t Save Me,” where her vocal range is an awesome gift to the music. This album rocks right along like an engine with an endless supply of fuel. The fuel is Thornley’s intoxicating voice and her crackerjack band.
Lyrically it gets intense as the music. She sings about relationships, unhealthy ones that need repairing. “Lucky You” is a good example of a relationship that could use some work. Words like this cut like a knife- “All that’s left to do now is move in and quit my job. Keep you full of booze and seconal. After all, when your sober your no fun at all.” It is a somewhat sick and twisted way to look at someone that you want to be with that is for sure! This is reality for many people unfortunately, for some reason the music can make light of even the direst of situations.
Beth Thornley has made quite a musical statement on this CD with consistently witty lyrical content accompanied by superlative musicianship. That potent combination gives her a winning hand in the game life and the world of music.
