Some favorite quotes...
“I can tell you that as a songwriter, she knows exactly what she is doing. Songs like the restless “Bound For Tennessee” and the fun and flirtatious “I Need Your Love” are well-written, and could potentially be hits for anybody---Country or Bluegrass. On the somewhat mysterious “Jenny,” I think she makes her biggest mark as a writer. This song could be more than just a hit---maybe a “Song Of The Year” in either format.” – Chuck Dauphin, Music News Nashville
“Five gold stars! To the best female country singer I’ve heard in a very, very long time. Schlegel has an unusually complete voice, capable” of handling all sorts of material, with an extremely seducing twang to it, a twang that is completely her own. She walks the same musical land that Allison Krauss does, from modern bluegrass to almost mainstream ballads, and with an amount of commitment and intensity that makes them equals. Lennart Persson, Rootsy Nu
“In less than three minutes, Becky had me completely under her spell.
She has been likened to other chanteuses, but there is a fragile beauty, vulnerability and heartbreaking ache to her voice that makes her a unique performer. Her vocals are best described as exquisite, but then you the musical accompaniment that lifts this whole album up into the premier division.” – 5 STARS” Alan Cackett, Maverick Magazine
“Quite simply, there isn’t a track on the record that doesn’t sparkle. Becky’s vocals wrap around self-written lyrics the way one might cozy up to a warm blanket in the dead of winter.
While many independent artists throw their music out into the market, there aren’t many of them who can actually compete on a national basis. Becky Schlegel not only competes but she should be able to pack houses with her articulate, wonderful tunes and that fabulous voice. It’s the voice of an angel and “For All The World To See” is a record that has found a place on the best of 2008 list.” Matt Bjorke, Roughstock.com
“..From start to finish the CD it’s practically addictive. Schlegel proves bluegrass isn't about region,it's a sensibility and an attitude, at times wistful, other times gutsy, brought to life here with an angelic voice and plenty of verve.” Corinne Brown, Country Standard Time
“If I could paint a picture of a voice that chooses to show and share its shape with the world with a song, reaching down to the soul, and the music that puts them together and gives them a reason to exist, Becky Schlegel would be a sunrise. A promise made out of beauty and sensibility, a breath of fresh air waiting to be discovered and lived with each new day.”- Esther Berlanga-Ryan, AllAboutcountry.com
“Whether it’s driving bluegrass, story song folk or the country tune, “For All The World To See,” Schlegel handles them with deceptive ease, while consistently delivering standout performances.” Ron Wynn, Nashville City Paper
“…Schlegel blows me away. Listening to her album is like tasting a fine wine; initially you’re struck by that gorgeous, ravishing voice, then you start noticing the presicsely detailed and fluid production and arrangements,by Schlegel and Brian Fesler, then the musicianship…” – John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music Magazine.
“Becky wrote all eleven songs, and not since "Boulder To Birmingham" on Emmylou's Pieces Of The Sky album have you heard a song so integrated into the soul of the writer/singer. And Becky does it ELEVEN times. Some of these songs are haunting memorials to loss, some are foot-stomping celebrations of life -- all the way through, the virtuosic simplicity of her vocal dynamics melds with the instrumental and vocal harmony efforts to turn the songs into mini movies that you will want to go back and visit like friends you would love to see more than you do. I love these songs and I love this music. Go ahead and learn to spell Schlegel -- she's gonna be with us as long as she wants to be.” – Bill Littleton,The Bridgeworks
"I STUMBLED ACROSS BECKY THE WAY YOU FIND A SHINY NEW PENNY IN THE PARKING LOT; IT WON'T CHANGE YOUR LIFE, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING YOU REALLY LIKE ABOUT IT." -TOM T. HALL
something is someone who could sing as well as Dolly Parton. Becky Schlegel fits the bill to a tee. Her vocals are simply amazing. Her abilities to soar to the clouds with her beautiful soprano voice is simply mesmerizing. This national release is going to put Schlegel on the top of the list of new artists to watch in 2008. “ (9 out of 10)- Jane Powell, Eclectic Cuts
“If you’ve ever been in love, if you’ve ever missed someone, or missed home, you will relate to and enjoy this album. It is worthy to be added to your collection.” -Gone Country
You’ve got some notes there in your voice
that make an older person feel faint…
…makes cowboys order an extra beer.
