​Beth Lee (from the album Waiting on You Tonight available as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
 
If Beth Lee’s latest record reflects her record collection then she proves she’s got taste worthy of envy and influences a plenty. Waiting on You Tonight dips into Rootsy R&B while drifting around the paisley underground, then plucks a toe into some psychedelia and Pop as it dances around the Cow Punk. Waiting on You Tonight is a record with Green on Red or even The Runaways as influences that show a hint of New Wave and a bunch of Singer/Songwriter bravado.  The title track album opener is a rough around the edges Roots Rocker that kicks off with a dark riff, followed by “Yale St and 45” that tosses around a subtle jangle. 
 
“Playin’ Along” is wandering and lazy with Lee’s vocals ambient and dreamy while “I Won’t Give In” is slow and sultry, a vocal heavy ballad where Beth Lee sadly sings of skipping records and slipping memories.  “Birthday Song” has an R&B groove before Waiting on You Tonight punches things up with “Pens and Needles”, a Garage Rocker with a Punky bounce pulled from 1978.  “Four Letter Name” lives between the Blues and Folk, Beth Lee adding a pinch of twang to the soulful “Understand Me” before closing with a touch of jangle and a load of psychedelic pop on the faraway “All the Way”. Beth Lee’s an ace backed by a band that could bang out a waltz as easy as they can blast through a revved-up Roots Rocker, places they all go on Waiting on You Tonight. (by Bryant Liggett)
