Title: A SONGWRITING TREASURE
Review: Betty Elders work in general, and her two latest albums in particular (of which this is the newest) are some of the finest examples of contemporary songwriting available. She has a wonderful voice, crafts some of the most beautiful arrangements around her songs, and has a unique way of opening her heart to her audience through her art that is rare in a business that is so full of shallowness. From the first words of 'The long night', the listener is pulled in, aware that something very special has been gifted here. This is music to envelop the heart and soul, music to heal, music to treasure. Some of Austin's finest musicians add their tasteful touches to complete the package. Also recommended: her previous cd, PEACEFUL EXISTENCE, which contains two songs covered in recent years by no less an icon than Joan Baez....
