QUOTES:

"A superb singer/songwriter whose versatility discourages labeling."
-- Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"Think Patty Griffin, with a little more --how you say?-- soul."
-- Fort Worth Weekly

"Beth Wood is a musical triple-threat -- a thoughtful songwriter and talented multi-instrumentalist with a supple, soulful voice." -- Washington Post

"Folk singer-guitarist Beth Wood has such a dazzling voice it's a mystery why she's still just a cult artist." -- Dallas Morning News

"Wood is about as good as it gets if you appreciate the singer/songwriter genre." -- Charlotte Creative Loafing

"Acoustic singer/songwriter Beth Wood has a mix of stylistic distinction and classy restraint, exuding a natural vocal foair without getting into any of that dramatic eye-squint/pinching-the-air business. Her voice delicately curls over into itself, like shaving soft wood off a long, massive plane."
-- Atlanta Creative Loafing

"Lord have mercy...Wood is a down-home, old-fashioned girl with a wicked streak" -- Indie-music.com

"If you have a hankering for soulful blues/rock a la Bonnie Raitt, look no further than Beth Wood." -- Billboard Continental Drift

"Late Night Radio, a superlative collection of songs that would easily find a home on a number of radio formats if given a listen by America's programmers." -- Entertainment Today

"Now comes 'Late Night Radio', which is sure to fulfill the promises of her first two efforts. As you hear, the songwriting is solid, the musicianship is top-notch and her voice is confident and versatile." -- Album Network

"Beth Wood's brand-new, independently produced CD, "Late Night Radio', unfoldes like raw, fresh magic, as gems bathed alternately in jazz, folk and rock burst intoxicatingly into life." -- Mountain Xpress

"(Late Night) 'Radio' takes the same basic musical blueprint of soulful, jazzy folk Wood created on last year's disc ('New Blood'), and refines it tenfold. The songs shimmer with a vibrancy, enthusiasm and warm passion that frames Wood's powerfully expressive voice." -- Atlanta Press

"Wood's real calling card is her voice - a soulful, opera-strength instrument that can do justice to Aretha Franklin's hit "Dr. Feelgood" or pull off a show-closing a cappella segment with minimum effort. Yet as strong and flexible as her pipes are, she rarely makes the mistake of oversinging. She has a keen sense of humor, but she also showed a knack for finding poignancy in simple things - such as the comfort of a car radio during long drives in "Late Night Radio", a brand new song that recalled the mind-set of Van Morrison's "Wavelength". A voice and songs this strong are bound to persevere."
--
The Dallas Morning News

"As the belle of the ball, all eyes and ears are on BETH WOOD as she sweeps the audience away into a musical journey of life."
-- MTV.COM - local stringer (Harrisburg, PA)


"I have seen her perform twice to date. Both times she took the stage, kicked off her shoes, walked up to the microphone and almost instantly illuminated the room. She immediately established her musicianship."
-- MTV.COM - local stringer (Atlanta, GA)


"Deliciously" begs to come bursting out of radios. Beth Wood's supple voice romps around teasingly, while the melody bounces atop a giddy banjo riff. Meanwhile, the lyrical hook is just deadly."
-- Performing Songwriter Magazine
