No Depression

“West writes disarming melodies, wraps her songs in beautiful, spare arrangements, and sings them with a beguiling voice…”

Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
May 2006
“Lizzie West’s voice is both secure, relaxed and full of strength and conviction, and rattling and unsettling; just as her songs are both comfortable and at the same time so startling in either content or delivery that you have no choice but to sit up and take notice.”

“What makes Lizzie West such a refreshing artist is that, regardless of the style in which she casts any given song, she’s a “folk” singer in the best possible sense…a cohesive, clear-eyed artistic vision…”

“West kept time with the banging of her well-worn leather boots for the first few songs. Removing them to dance around…”

“…sings in a classic and richly timbered voice reminiscent of Janis Ian and Marianne Faithful.”

“…a little bit beat-jazz-folk and a little bit reggae, and utterly enthralling. It’s only cooler when she’s live.”

“Folk, roots, hip-hop, reggae, gospel, Americana, West has no problem with any of them. And she does it with vigour. Her passionate, scratchy, sometime Marianne Faithfullesque voice seems to be able to tackle anything.”
Quotes:
New York Times
“Her music is rooted and comfortable, but her songs have a restless promise.”
American Songwriter
“…An indie masterpiece” –American Songwriter
Entertainment Weekly
“A visionary troubadour following her own yellow brick road”
Appleseed Records
Lizzie West does things her own way. The nomadic singer-songwriter walked away from her major label deal after the release of her well-received debut CD, Holy Road: Freedom Songs, due to differences over creative control of her songs and image. Entertainment Weekly and AOL’s “Breakout Artist of 2003” took her repertoire of personal, philosophical and political experiences set to folk, roots, hip-hop, reggae, gospel and contemporary American instrumentation to artist-friendly Appleseed. With the collaboration of co-writer, musician, and heart partner Anthony (The White Buffalo) Kieraldo, Lizzie is spreading her free-spirited, Beat-influenced songcraft and activist outlook through I Pledge Allegiance to Myself and a grassroots touring schedule that includes local performance residencies and personal involvement with communities around the country. Includes “19 Miles to Baghdad.”
