Linda McLean

CD: Betty's Room

VARA Radio, NPS Television, Netherlands

Only a few albums reveal a different favorite track each time you listen to it. "Betty's Room" is one of those rare pearls. Whether Linda hails the moment she fell in love, drags us with her into the room of Betty Munsie or expresses her mixed feelings in raising a son, these are songs that have been lived. Linda is a singer/songwriter in the best tradition of fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell's 70's work, blessed with a lovely voice and a skilled guitar playing partner Andy. A touch of hammond , rich vocal arrangement in the choruses; the only reason not to recommend this is that I like to treasure a couple of unknown masterpieces on my CD shelves...
