Kundenrezensionen zu 'Bette of Roses'
Excellent romantic album with country influence (19. September 2004)
Some of Bette's fans don't like this album because it is a little different. It is made up mostly of ballads, but it begins with the bouncy I known this town, a song by Cheryl Wheeler that she wrote and recorded for her Circles and arrows album. The final song is a cover of I believe in you, which was very successful for Don Williams.In between these two songs, Bette sings a series of love songs, all new at the time except As dreams go by, for which the common theme is that Bette is in love with her man. Bette shows that she is well capable of singing this kind of song. Perhaps some fans would have liked some up-tempo songs to provide a bit of variety, but I think this is a wonderful album that creates its own mood.
If it doesn't appeal to Bette's traditional fans, this album should certainly appeal to some fans of contemporary pop-country music. While this is in no way a country album, some of the music here is not so far removed from some of what is today classified as country music.
