Details: Amazon.ca Throughout the '90s, Beth Nielsen Chapman was one of the most industrious and literate songwriters in Nashville, penning material for a new breed of female country star, including Kathy Mattea, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, and Lorrie Morgan. However, her own recordings have barely dented the country charts, for the simple fact that they're not really country at all. As a singer and arranger, Chapman owes much to the jazz-folk of Joni Mitchell, while echoing the AAA soul-smarts of Shawn Colvin. Her spiritual sensibility shines on songs like "Sand and Water" and "The Color of Roses," as she confronts personal tragedy with an openness to healing. Chapman's music has gone through various transformations, and what this collection lacks in continuity, it makes up for in the ambition of Chapman's lyrical vision. --Roy Kasten Product Description Many of the best songwriters have an ability to express musically their deepest personal feelings; others have a flair for creating pop music that resonates with a wide audience. Beth Nielsen Chapman is one of those uncommonly gifted artists who can do both at once. Selected as one of Gavin's Nine Who Define Adult Contemporary, Chapman is a major bestselling singer-songwriter.
