MusicalDiscoveries.com has reviewed in the past year both my latest CD, "Miracle Girl", and my "Live Within Live Without" CD, and they've said some real nice things. i want to thank them for their in depth look at all the songs, and for their time!

on their site, they've published both reviews and posted my photos - though they were encouraging me to let them post the nude, self-portrait from the inside cover of "Miracle Girl", reminding me that i would sell more CDs that way. i say let the music stand for itself, the naked is on the inside because that's where i like the naked to be. :) haha.

thanks to Audrey Elliot, and to Russel Elliot of MusicalDiscoveries.com!

and thank you everybody for reading...

so here are both CD reviews, Miracle Girl first...and since i don't think i ever posted the Live Within...CD review, it's below for good measure.

love loves soul,

Miracle Girl by Beth Wimmer, CD Review

SNIPPET of 'Miracle Girl' CD review by www.MusicalDiscoveries.com...
(25 May 2009) Miracle Girl picks up where Live Within Live Without left off. Again, Beth treats listeners to her unique blend of Americana and folk with a touch of rock - and a lovely cover of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart."

Her songs are infused with lush vocals and guitar laiden accompaniment. Her luxuriant voice mesmerizes the listener, wanting more and more. She tugs at the heart strings with her songs of humanness, hope...This tapestry of human emotions is beautifully woven and quite captivating.

Live Within Live Without by Beth Wimmer, CD Review

SNIPPET of 'Live Within Live Without' CD review by www.MusicalDiscoveries.com...
(15 November 2008)...she opens this emotive album with "Situations." Beth's alluring vocals are down-to-earth and filled with wonderful fervor. The marvelous violin by Mark Indictor complements the flowing melody, in addition to the hammond B3, lending a sumptuous feel to this track. "Move On" has a rockier edge in this song about self-realization. Beth shows her expertise in telling her story with a sensivity and humanness. The title track, "Live Within Live Without," has a great psychedelic feel with its folk/rock roots.

"With Our Eyes Closed" has a catchy percussive melody that has great hooks. There is a warmth that envelops her vocals shown throughout this entire set of songs. She can handle many genres, and has a special affinity to her gorgeous country-infused folk as in "Hey Babe." There is an honest simplicity that she delivers with confidence. She continues in a similar vein in "Lose My Way," permeating this track with slide guitar and her beautiful vocals.

"Saturated" heightens the senses. Beth's soulful tones and folk/rock sound are explosive here. She continues to show great sensitivity in "Calling All Hearts" and "Hard." The latter song has marvelous mandolin, mandola and violin accompaniment that pervades this piece. Combined with her clarity of tone, this song is a true winner. You can definitely "feel your sensations run high from within."

Her soulful rendition of "The Wheel" carries a straight-to-the-point feel. Country sounding "Holdin' Out" speaks of hopes and dreams of a love relationship. Beth exposes a vulnerability and intimacy of feelings that tugs at the heart. She concludes with the flowing "Every Time." This song of human setbacks and hope is spirited and beautifully presented.

Beth Wimmer certainly deserves top kudos for this lush and savvy album. Live Within Live Without has a free spirited feel, exploring love lost and love found. She has definitely found a connection with her gorgeous vocals and sweeping melodies. She exudes a richness as a vocalist, songwriter and guitarist that leaves the listener wanting more and more. She has a new release entitled Miracle Girl that has also been well received. Her music comes from the heart and heightens the senses. --Audrey Elliot in New York for MusicalDiscoveries.com
