Taking the Cure

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Beth Scalet is a veteran of the folk wars, with a unique self-developed finger-picking style and a blues-inflected soulful approach to everything. Her original songs have won numerous awards (including three different Billboard honorable mentions, among others) and her interpretations of other writers' material are among the finest you'll hear. She's a combination of wit, sizzle, soul, and conscience.

Album Description
All-original collection of songs about love, modern reality, addiction, obsession, and everything else that makes life worth living. Scalet has a beautiful, silky voice and a fluid guitar style that go down easy even when she is making a point. Check out the spine-chilling indictment of the beauty culture, "Living Doll," or the dreamily engaging awakening of "Desert Heart."

I first and last heard Beth Scalet playing live in Kansas City back in 1975. She was great then, and I always remembered that night. I was going through a divorce, and it seemed like every song related to my struggles and desire for personal growth. I haven't heard her sing since until I happened upon this CD and decided to see if she was good as I remembered. WOW -- she is even better. And her songs are very real -- about feelings and relationships and coping mechanisms. This won't be the last CD I buy of this artist!
