SHELLEY BUFFITT
written by: Wes A. Keller, Journalist for "The Citizen".

Shelley Buffitt has released her third CD album, Beyond This Woman, as Jan. 2005. Although she was absent from the CD retail markets and Canadian radio for a couple of years, this multi-talented and compassionate singer/songwriter/composer has not been forgotten. Shelley Buffitt continues to chart world-wide with her music.

It might be to Shelley's personal credit that, with three released CD albums and numerous noteworthy appearances, she has never forgotten the elementary school teachers who encouraged and nurtured her exceptional musical talents, helping her win early-life Kiwanis Festival awards.

She has never hesitated to offer her unique voice and crowd-pleasing stage appearance in support of charitable events. Among recognition in that sense, the Oddfellows/Rebecca Lodge bestowed their Good Samaritan Award upon Shelley when she created the Lynne Silvers Memorial Fund to assist people in medical emergencies. In March 2004, she performed a concert over www.livve.net from Caledon (Ontario) Village Garden Café in support of various charities. Most recently she performed at the Toys for Tots in Welland Ontario ,as well as donating sales of her new CD to Choices Youth Shelter in Orangeville Ontario.

But Shelley doesn't talk much about her compassionate side, preferring instead to shrug her shoulders, chuckle, and say it's just something everyone should do. Yet it shines through in some of the songs she's written, such as Homemade Happiness which, like most of her lyrics, is based on either her own life's experiences or on her observations of others.

Shelley is not only an unforgettable singer, but a songwriter/composer as well. She has
co- written 16 of the 18 songs on her latest album, Beyond This Woman.

Canadian radio audiences would recognize Shelley from Lonely Looks a lot Like Me (No. 70 on the charts for eight months), as well as her Ontario Country Performers Association 2002 nominated for "Rising Star" and charting awards nominated "Duet", Honky Tonk Angels, with vocalist Kelly Vohnn. European Country radio is still listening to Little Bitty Something, which rose to No. 2 in that markets top 100 from an early release from her new album to European radio in July 2004.

    Beyond This Woman is a Gift and a Blessing. This Exquisite contribution to the Musical Landscape is Shelley Buffitts gift to her loyal legion of fans. With the Honky Tonk opening track - Ask Me To Dance - we are taken on a Magnificent Musical Voyage. Her music is a Reflection of Light and Spirit which Nourishes the Soul. Each track is a Magical River of Life which Touches our Hearts and Embraces our Souls. Goodbye to Knights is a Song of Spirit , Lyrically Touching and one sure to be a favorite of all her fans. There is an Authenticity and Truth to Shelleys music which Transcends words and Soars on the Wings of a Dove. Track 5 - Angel of Mine - is a song to be Savored for its Beauty and Graceful Simplicity. Beyond This Woman - is a must have Cd for those of us who enjoy a Unique Vision and Expressive Voice. Ambitious and Accomplished every track is a Shining Pearl. Shelley has provided her listeners with a work of Art that is Meaningful and which Stimulates the Appetite for more. Her River of Songs washes over us and takes on a Journey of Vision and Purpose. Track 11 - Standing in the Wings - is a Powerful and Resonates with Shelleys personal Radiance. This Cd is a Vacation for the Mind and Soul. Lifes Answering is an Autobiographical Masterpiece which takes us into Miss Buffitts Innermost Sanctum. Shelleys Expressive Voice and Heartfelt Songs helps us to Examine ourselves which is an Extraordinary Achievement. The closing cut on this wonderful cd is - Bring Back Elvis - an entertaining and hunorous song which shows Shelleys diversity and Depth of Talent. Beyond This Woman - is a Creative Wonder , Undeniably Compelling and Thoroughly Entertaining. Shelley Buffit is Living her Lifes Purpose through her Words and Music. I highly recommend this Cd as it will lead you on a Journey into your own Heart. Bravo Shelley. I honour what you have Accomplished.

  • Shelley Buffitt is splendid singer!
    author: Laura Turner Lynch

    SHELLEY BUFFITT – BEYOND THIS WOMAN: Shelley Buffitt is a singer and composer. Shelley pens songs that have been recorded by a variety of artists in different genres. Buffitt's own songs are a blend of country, folk, gospel, pop and rock. She is a big fan of Loretta Lynn, yet Shelly's country-based music is animated and diverse. Buffitt is an incredible, soulful vocalist. Shelley also has an impressive list of talented guest players on her CD who handle guitars, bass, piano drums, sax, cello, banjo, fiddle, steel, harmonica and harmonizing vocals. Randy Moore is responsible for the crisp, clean production of the CD. Buffitt's eighteen-track collection covers a wide range of sounds and styles. She writes visual lyrics about her own life experiences as well as general observations. The CD opens with 'Ask Me To Dance' with its rocking guitars and an up-tempo beat. Sassy piano parts are interspersed with Shelly's vocals that are both sweet yet sultry. 'Home Made Happiness' and 'Daddy's Little Girl' are strong examples of Shelley's story telling. Both songs feature great instrumentation including soaring guitar leads. Buffitt's vocals climb and drop with control and drama. 'Woman of Many Colors' has vivid lyrics blending with subtle instrumentation as Buffitt's vibrant vocals carry the tune. Beyond This Woman is an ambitious collection of assorted songs that each have something special to offer and Shelley Buffitt is splendid singer! • Recommended Tracks: (1,8,9,13) [ONTARIO, CANADA 2005 - web] (Review by Laura Turner Lynch for Kweevak.com)

  • A great album!
    author: Doug Morris, Founder, Indie Music Appreciation Group

    This is a heck of an album folks! Shelley wrote or co-wrote (mostly with Randy Moore) 16 of the 18 tracks, including all of the ones I like best, except "Overheated" which was written by Terrance Alan & Eddie Evans. Shelley Buffitt, as a singer, as a songwriter, and I expect (although I've never had the privilege of meeting her), as a person, refuses to be stuck with a "label." She's not a "country" artist; she's not a "rock" artist; nor is she "blues", nor "pop", nor "jazz", nor anything else. She is a performer. She does a song as whatever it is. I think she must look for the soul inside the music and take that into her heart while she writes/sings/plays the piece. That's why this album is impossible to stick with a "label". I guess it would be best described as a "Shelley" album or you could just call it "good." There are some really great tracks on this disc. There are some that are slow & laid back, some that are bluesy, and some that'll rock your teeth and make your feet move! There are even some that are not for the "faint-of-heart" folks, like "Daddy's Little Girl." This song starts out as a real honky-tonk beat toe tapper about 'sitting pretty on daddy's knee..." and ends up with "crossing two lanes of highway to give it up..." "in the back of a Chevy truck, I made it rock." Okay, I think we get the picture. Oh, the fun doesn't stop there my friends. There's the song "May December Romance" about older women getting hot for younger men, & "Ask Me To Dance" with lyrics like "I like to watch your body move and sway, you're a tempting little game that I love to play, why don't you take a chance, not a second glance, and baby, ask me to dance..." the last words of which come out as very sexy whisper/sigh. Oooh yeah! Then there's "Tropical Vacation" which starts off with "My name is Shelley, I'm from Canada..." and goes on to describe a great vacation filled with Jamaican beach, sun, rum and workin' on a tan. (Can I go too, PLEASE!!!) Among the other songs I really enjoyed on this album, I should give special mention to "Goodbye to Knights",which is another of those songs with a great intro. It's one of the songs going on my Favorite Indie Songs list. Others I really enjoyed are "Wishing I Was Her", "Angel Of Mine", the title song "Beyond This Woman" and "Home Made Happiness" which are done as really fine country ballads with some great piano and guitar work in the background and an almost gospel mood in Shelley's vocals. I also like "Sweet Boy", "Standing In The Wings", another fun song "You're History", and the ballad style "Better Than Friends." I must also say something about the band(s) which played on this album. There were several combinations due to various factors, but all of the musicians who helped make this album should be very proud of their contributions, because it's some great music! All in all, I think that this is a wonderful album and would be a good addition to the collection of just about any fan of fine music.
