5.0 out of 5 stars My New Favorite Girl Singer, September 25, 2000

This review is from: Beth Nielsen Chapman - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

In Nanci Griffith's song, "1937 PreWar Kimball" the master laments "I wish I had a voice like Beth Nielsen Chapman." Then, Faith Hill extols the talent of Beth Nielsen Chapman, writer of the hit "This Kiss", during an interview I caught on TV one night. I had to know who this person was! I ordered the Greatest Hits CD thinking it would be a good overview of Chapman's work. Ladies and gents, I have been playing it continually since I tore the cellophane off. The writing is intelligent and moving, the musicality fresh and engaging. In short, outstanding. Make Beth Nielsen Chapman your new favorite girl singer, too. Order this CD now!

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, heart-felt and wonderful, April 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beth Nielsen Chapman - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I first heard Beth Chapman when my sister bought me "Sand and Water". She said "you have got to listen to this woman sing. She will break your heart and lift your spirits all at once." I am so grateful she bought that album for me. Beth sings from her soul, which I feel has been through so much. I don't know how, but I just know she has had hard times somewhere in her life. She sings to the hard times I have had in mine, and somehow I just know she understands. What a gift this girl has. Not only does she have the voice of an angel, she has communication with one, too. I love this music, I love this voice. What else can I say, except "thank you"?

. . . then this is a great place to begin. Many of the tracks are earlier material and songs which Beth has written for other artists who went on to have hits with them, i.e. HAPPY GIRL, as done by Martina McBride and THE COLOR OF ROSES as covered by Bette Midler. Beth's versions are superior, in my opinion. She has a unique and distinctive voice which is capable of generating all kind of emotions in a person. Special mention must be made of the track ALL I HAVE, which still gets much radio play here in the UK. This is so personal, so beautiful and such an intimate love ballad that you can almost imagine Beth is performing this to you in your living room. This lady has the vocal style of the sadly missed and brilliant Eva Cassidy. AMAZING. SAND AND WATER, which was also done by Elton John, was also the title of her album she wrote when overcoming the grief of losing her husband to cancer in 1994, and has been used in ER, as I may have mentioned in my review of it. Great guitar work abounds on this track, both folk and classical influences collide ather well. I will also mention EMILY, which will have even the hardest man tearing up and letting go; LIFE HOLDS ON, which is full of hope, and a world-folk BEYOND THE BLUE with the mind-blowing Gregorian chant at the end - if the guitar riffing sounds familiar you may or may not know that Nelly Furtado ripped it off on one of her recent hits. I could go on, but I'll finish by saying you will be in for a treat. Very hard to fault!
