Maria Woodfords Brighter Path cd, will blow you away, Awesome Voice, Awesome Guitar playing, Nobody does it Better than Maria, in person Sinsere sweet and intellegent, i confess, i fell in love, if you meet her you will too..
Beautiful, sensitive melodies that will stay with you...
author: Dawn LeeThis CD is very moving-with beautiful vocals and a variety in her songs that shows the changing moods throughout her life. Maria's guitar is a perfect mate to her voice-which is a clear, perfectly pitched sultry sound that has so much feeling it will leave you in tears. Yet, in her songs, she shares so much of herself, it will leave you saying, "You go,girl"! Gotta get this one-or you'll regret it!
"... up to mor than just Americana..."
author: The Cripsy Duck, The C-ville Weekly/ Charlottesville, Va.Melodious original tunes... impressive vocal dexterity...up to more than just Americana!
"... beautiful voices and solid musicianship..."
author: Jonathan Overby, Wisconsin Public RadioA fresh blend of touching folk lyrics, beautiful voices, and solid musicianship. The combination makes for delightful folk music and great listening pleasure.
"power and passion... run (don't walk) and get this CD."
author: The Acoustic Scene, Arizona (may 2000)Maria Woodford has a beautiful voice filled with power and passion. Her talent for melody lines and song structure are impressive. I can really appreciate the way the songs change direction. This 13 song CD makes for a great opportunity to hear what this singer/songwriter is all about. the production of the CD was well managed by musician/producer Scott Hallock. I would suggest you run (don't walk) and get this CD. I recommend finding out Maria's performance schedule when she is back in Phoenix in November. This girl is going to the top! Keep up the great work, Maria!
