ABOUT THE ALBUM:
"An incredible work of artistic accomplishment...the Cd shows all the ranges, styles, and in a word, versatility of this seasoned entertainer, and gives an insight into the depth of the person creating the sounds." Carol Elliott, Entertaining U Magazine, Jacksonville, Florida
"I was immeasurably impressed by this album. From the production, to Roth's Guitar and voice, to the instrumental arrangements, to the songwriting; it is wonderfully done." Rick de Yampert Daytona Beach News-Journal
"Interesting, uncoventional, carefully crafted acoustic rock" David Demordaunt, Temujin Recordings, San Francisco
" Finally, area singer/songwriter Elizabeth Roth has released an eclectic collection of songs called like the david. Roth sings like a darker Carly Simon....like the david contains passing moments of beauty and lasting moments of Gothic (like an empty Georgian house, not like a pasty faced rocker) atmosphere. Interesting stuff..." Rick Marino, entertainment writer, Florida Times Union
"Roth 's songs range from jazzy lightly funky works akin to Norah Jones and Ricky Lee Jones, to ballads and folkie songs like Tracy Chapman and Phoebe Snow..." Rick de Yampert Daytona Beach News-Journal
ABOUT ELIZABETH:
"Her voice is one you remember......it soars, spirals, rocks, drops, calls to a lover, tells a story, growls the blues, cries. If Gamble Rogers and Phoebe Snow had a love child, and that baby was raised by Tracy Chapman, it might sound like this woman." Peter Guinta, staff writer, Saint Augustine Record
"She has a unique ability to tell a story, as if it were the first time ever told, with every song she sings." Carol Elliott, Entertaining U Magazine, Jacksonville, Florida
"a hauntingly cerebral, yet romantic clarity" Marcia Armes, Saint Augustine Magazine

A note from Elizabeth about the new album - "like the david"
Hi friends. A new 11 song album, entitled "like the david", came out in mid- April 2003. I chose 7 of my original tunes and four additional songs (written by some of my musician friends) for this project. Each song prominently features acoustic guitar and vocals, because as most of you know, I mostly perform as a solo guitarist/vocalist- but I also invited some friends to add instrumentation. I am very excited about how it has turned out, and I am hoping you will like it as well.
It's not boring, I can promise that. There are some pretty fingerstyle guitar songs, there is a bluesy rock song, a funky song, a novelty song, an old style song, some with bass and drums, some with strings (cello and violin), horns (trumpet and saxophone) one with mandolin, and more.... hey, I am just trying to hype this thing up a little, I think that is enough hype for now.
