ABOUT THE ALBUM:
"An incredible work of artistic accomplishment...the Cd shows all the ranges, styles, and in a word, versatility of this seasoned entertainer, and gives an insight into the depth of the person creating the sounds." Carol Elliott, Entertaining U Magazine, Jacksonville, Florida
"I was immeasurably impressed by this album. From the production, to Roth's Guitar and voice, to the instrumental arrangements, to the songwriting; it is wonderfully done.
↓ more ↓" Rick de Yampert, Daytona Beach News-Journal
"Roth weaves simple acoustic tunes that disarm the listener...."like the david" calls to mind the work of Harry Chapin or of Joni Mitchell..." John Citrone, Folio Weekly Magazine, Jacksonville, Florida
" Finally, area singer/songwriter Elizabeth Roth has released an eclectic collection of songs called like the david. Roth sings like a darker Carly Simon....like the david contains passing moments of beauty and lasting moments of Gothic (like an empty Georgian house, not like a pasty faced rocker)atmosphere. Interesting stuff..." Rick Marino, entertainment writer, Florida Times Union
"Roth 's songs range from jazzy lightly funky works akin to Norah Jones and Ricky Lee Jones, to ballads and folkie songs like Tracy Chapman and Phoebe Snow..." Rick de Yampert, Daytona Beach News-Journal
ABOUT ELIZABETH:
"Her voice is one you remember......it soars, spirals, rocks, drops, calls to a lover, tells a story, growls the blues, cries. If Gamble Rogers and Phoebe Snow had a love child, and that baby was raised by Tracy Chapman, it might sound like this woman." Peter Guinta, staff writer, Saint Augustine Record
"a hauntingly cerebral, yet romantic clarity" Marcia Armes, St. Augustine Magazine
