Details:
This is Beth''s NEW CD! Woohoo! She''s very excited about it. You can get a copy here or an autographed copy at her website. And now, for a couple of quotes from a couple reviews of the CD followed by the bio......
"On My Glass Eye, Beth Thornley blends pop, alternative rock, and punk that really isn’t comparable to many other female solo artists out there." American Songwriter
"Be it aggressive punk rock or a rich piano and cello ballad, the jerky rhythms of alt-rock or even a melancholy tango, Thornley feels at home." All Music Guide
"So solid is the album as a whole that the excellent acoustic cover of "Eleanor Rigby" at disc’s end feels more like an encore than a highlight." Illinois Entertainer
"If you like “smart pop” a la Aimee Mann, Sam Phillips or Brandi Carlile, you owe it to yourself to check out this CD." Keyboard Magazine
Bio:
You may assume that Beth Thornley is just another female singer/songwriter but she’s not. . After hearing the first exhilarating chord changes of “Stand,” the opening track of her album “My Glass Eye”, you’ll soon discover that Beth is not your ordinary songwriter.
On My Glass Eye, Beth’s second collection, you’ll hear echoes of highly regarded stylists like Beth Orton, Matthew Sweet, and Aimee Mann. There are hints of Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, even Tom Waits. Beth shares traits with all of these songwriters, and she takes great pride in assembling the kind of work that measures up to such an esteemed group. But she’s also intensely original, with the ability to look and sound like no one but herself.
On the strength of My Glass Eye, many are about to find out just who this singer/songwriter is. The recording, produced by Beth’s faithful and gifted producer Rob Cairns, takes a kaleidoscopic trip through pop music, stopping frequently at various scenic overlooks—power pop, hard rock, piano confessionals, even acoustic blues.
“I’ve avoided being a romantic,” admits Beth. “I wanted to write with a broad range of view, not just love songs, more Elvis Costello vinegar and less pop sugar.
If all stylistic hopscotch and intricate subject matter makes Beth somewhat elusive to categorize, then so be it. “I don’t know what my box is,” she says. “I’m definitely a singer-songwriter, but that doesn’t mean I’m only a light-a-candle, sing-a-pretty-song artist..”
Her debut, a self-titled indie effort from 2003, earned Beth lots of attention; her songs “I Will Lie” and “Done” were named as a rock category finalist in the ’03 and ‘05 USA Songwriting Competition respectively and many of her songs have found homes in film and on the small screen alike. “Done” from My Glass Eye placed in the top ten of the rock category for the USA Songwriting Competition 2005. Her tracks have been featured in a variety of television and film projects including The Perfect Man, Scrubs, Dawson’s Creek, Roswell and most recently Beautiful People and Opus Films picture Between.
