My Original Music CDs & Links

Hey Studio 8ers:

I wanted to share some of my musical compositions with y'all. This year, 2 songs made the finals of the very prestigious 2008 USA Songwriting Competition and another was a TAXI Top 10 pick in 7/08.

These are some press reviews I received in 2008:
* With “innovative tunes that exemplify the braggadocios-ness that is Texas music,” transgender alt-rock singer-songwriter Beth Isbell “redefines ‘dark’ as a plausible blend of the psychedelic and the acoustic.” Lucky Boyd, My Texas Music
* "As a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist, Beth Isbell certainly leaves her mark wherever she performs. Her unique mix of blues, rock, and folk music as well as her passionate performances have won over audiences across the Midwest. Enjoy a special performance from an artist who truly is one of a kind." Oklahoma Film & Music Office, Best Events Guide, 4/08

I've released 4 CDs officially. A folk/country CD of 10 original compositions in 2005 entitled "The Good Woman Waltz." The CD was recorded in Nashville and features a great producer, some top flight Nashville studio cats (including some that have recorded and played with Faith Hill, Rascal Flatts, etc.), and some really nice original songs.
Title Cut went #1 country in Texas & was a TAXI Top 10 pick in 7/08.

The second CD was re-released in 2008 and is in the totally opposite musical direction. It is my psychedlic original rock musings. "The Dead Prophets: Bonus Edition" and features 10 original rock compositions with my former Dallas band The Dead Prophets. The lead guitarist in that band was/is truly amazing. My favorite songs.

I also released 2 solo acoustic rock CDs in 2008. Live @ Blue Moon (2008--7 songs) and The Awakening EP (2008--3 songs).
