Album Notes

"Described by some as a female Jeff Buckley, Mary Beth's strength is in her ability to create a soundtrack for modern day life, with the vibrancy of Sheryl Crow and the introspective and heart wrenching songwriting skills of Tori Amos. Her edgy musical persona takes the fluff out of your typical female acts, preferring to be brutal and honest, with a flair for sarcasm, captivating guitar riffs, keyboards, and styles that range from acoustic to all out rock."
