I don't envy whoever it is who has to categorize music in Apple's
store. Talk about your no win situation! Granting that a lot of
music fits neatly into some predefined and easy to market slot,
there's plenty of interesting material that defies simple
definitions. Even better, to my way of thinking at any rate, are
artists who take from many different genres and create something new
and unexpected.
Beth Waters does a little of that on this, her second album. Despite
an iTMS classification of Rock, Beth Waters the album belongs
more to the world of piano bars than to concert halls. And that's a
good thing. This is personal music performed with care and grace, the
kind of performance that stays in your head after the music itself has
faded. Kind of like a
White Castle hamburger, only
without so much heartburn.
