What our customer's say!

"Lizz Wright", The first time I was introduced to Lizz Wright was on the Sunday Morning show's music review. I was mesmerized. Her voice is raw emotion, sultry, and rich in tones. The Orchard is excellent, especially song #4 (Hey Mann) and #12 (Strange).

"Great music for drinking wine!", This is a fabulous cd. I am amazed Lizz Wright is not more well known since she is so talented. This cd is sultry and bluesy (albeit a little mellow) which makes it a great cd to unwind with a glass of wine!

"A voice from heaven", I learned about this CD from watching CBS Sunday Morning -- This woman's voice is soulful, smoth and silky -- just a dream to listen to. And her lyrics are just as strong. Buy this album -- you won't regret it. Great for any hour of day. It's 5:00 am as I write this and I'm enjoying the track "When I Fall" -- and I'm confident you will too (though you don't need to listen to it at 5 am!)

"With this fine album, she has found 'her' voice.", Lizz Wright has never been shy of experimentation with her sound - seemingly exempt from any commercial pressure, she has been allowed a journey (perhaps by her label) that many of her contemporaries would truly envy.
"The Orchard" continues with evolution of her artistry off the beaten path and the result is an incredibly personal album.
Working again with producer Craig Street (a producer famous for his work with a broad palette of singers such as Cassandra Wilson, k.d. lang, Me'Shell 'Ndegeocello), she moves further away from the accessible jazz of her 2003 debut "Salt" and toward contemporary soul without sacrificing any of her music's sensuality or spare beauty.
Her debut album was a great success critically, but "Dreaming Wide Awake" was an attempt at Norah Jones pop/jazz.
Now, Wright is back on the right track working with folk/blues ace Toshi Reagon on half the dozen cuts.
"The Orchard" is the mostly self-written album and it reflects her journey through life, starting with her life growing up in the small, rural church town of Hahira, Georgia. She may be technically considered a Jazz artist, but she's got plenty of Soul and Rhythm & Blues in her music as well.
The CD features an eclectic cast that includes noted singer/songwriter Toshi Reagon, who co-wrote several songs with Wright; Calexico members Joey Burns and John Convertino; avant-guitar hero Oren Bloedow; longtime Bob Dylan sideman Larry Campbell; Ollabelle member Glenn Patscha; and guest vocalists Catherine Russell and Marc Anthony Thompson (aka Chocolate Genius).
A youth spent singing in southern churches has left an indelible mark on the music of jazz-pop phenom Lizz Wright. But above and beyond her innate soulfulness -- her father was the preacher and musical director of her hometown church in Hahira, Georgia -- the young singer's strongest attribute is her tenacity.
When you first listen to her voice, many great names come to mind: Anita Baker, Cassandra Wilson, Regina Belle and Tracy Chapman.
Let it be said here: Lizz Wright is in a class all her own: the timbre of her voice is what strikes you first - rich and strong, infused with gospel and the vocal heritage of jazz.
Her knack for writing and interpreting intensely personal songs make it difficult to place her anywhere but in the heart.
She commits herself fully to her third effort, including the majority of the material she co-wrote. But something truly awesome transpires when she settles into hits by Led Zeppelin and Patsy Cline, each of which culminates with mind-blowing oomph.
In fact she luxuriates in her sprawling cover of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You", and her rendition of the Patsy Cline hit "Strange" is sublimely dreamlike.
Like any great singer, Wright has the ability to completely re-imagine and inhabit classic songs. She has the competence to get right inside her material, because she has an enviable ability to make focused, commercial music of great honesty.
Her voice, a large, contralto sound, often slow and heavy, is packed with emotion and commands attention, like on the opening track "Coming Home", a ballad with a prominent beat, a song that seems a blend between a spiritual and rock music and on the vibrant "My Heart".
The producer Craig Street, renowned for his understated, skilful recordings, doesn't overplay Wright's spectacular voice; instead, he drapes it in a polished contemporary jazz context mixed with blues and R&B plus a trace of pop and rock.
She responds with subtle grace and seeming sincerity, radiating a self-possession and maturity beyond her years.
Standout tracks : the intimate "Song for Mia", arranged in slow waltz-time; "The Silence", all pulsing piano and brushed-snare sixteenths and her blues-inflected, sultry interpretation of Ike Turner's "I Idolize You", where she oozes with primal desire.
It's not jazz, soul, blues or gospel - it's heart music.
"I'd been trained in choral, gospel and a little bit of opera", she says, "and wanted to move away from those styles. I love songs that create moments, that are very personal and that tell a story".
Whith this fine album, she has found "her" voice.

"Flawless", Like something good that you know is good, Lizz Wright is synonymous with impeccability and goodness. Her third album is a testament to this. The beautiful voice and the prestine arrangement; its all there and its familiar and flawless.The album starts strongly with "Coming Home" about being back from a war or the mere battlefields of life itself, then finishes with "Strange" a haunting, resonant ballad about being left behind for another. Everything in between is all good. It's a pity she spends most of the concert season in Europe. I highly recommend that you take every effort to see her live. It will be an experience that you will cherish. Hearing her sing right there is like nirvana, the ultimate in high defintion sound. Her etheral voice transcends, its pure joy. If you haven't heard of Lizz Wright, start with "The Orchard" then work your way back to "Dreaming While Awake" and "Salt" You'll discover a great artist and song writer.

"Puts it all together", I think thanks to Amazon's affinity algorithms, I got interested in Lizz Wright and checked her first two albums out of the library. Her voice is like a natural force - tremendous depth, a really beautiful voice. The first two records had some great songs but it wasn't clear she or her producers knew exactly how to present that voice in the best way. This album comes much, much closer. She could practically sing a capella, and that would be enough - and this album gives her a few spots where it really is just her voice, and its overwhelming. Craig Street put together a nicely understated musical background, and just opened it up for her to sing. She can definitely sing! Wasn't totally sure on the first two records - sort of, ok, great voice but can she sing? This album answers the question.

She starts to remind me of Mahalia Jackson at one end of the spectrum and Roberta Flack on the other. There's some real passion on this record that was kind of intermittent on the first two. This Orchard is full of inspiration. After a while all the songs sound fantastic but Coming Home, Hey Mann, When I Fall, Song for Mia, and the cover of Led Zeppelin's Thank You are most amazing.

Edit Revise: I was totally wrong about her earlier albums, especially "Salt" - that is a fine, fine album, an addiction now. But this one takes Lizz Wright to a new, more mature level. Can't wait for more.




"Lizz forever", I look forward to each new Lizz Wright album. Such a wonderful stylist who gives each song just the right dose of emotion and care. A must for the Lizz Wright fan!!

"All is Wright . . .", The celebratory chant and driving beat of the hit "My Heart" signals a new road for Ms. Wright. As effective as it is, Wright remains more a master of smoky yearnings, as found on the back-to-back tracks "Speak Your Heart" and "This Is." Though she veers occasionally toward Sade territory, Wright retains an acoustic feel throughout, making The Orchard more a field trip than a nightclub romp, more Joan Armatrading than Billie Holiday. Even when stepping into Led Zeppelin's "Thank You," Wright is in charge, making each song hers, as if all is Wright within her quietly enervating world.

"Wright is right on", If you know anything about Lizz Wright, you know she can sing. If you dont know anything about Lizz Wright, she can sing. Yet this is not the most extraordinary thing about this CD. First off she co-wrote 8 of the 12 tracks and you can feel the feeling and emotion in every one of them. Secondly and what struck me even more was the subtle and yet incredible diversity in her music. There is a strong acoustic presence throughout but you get a little gospel(Coming Home), a little rock(Leave Me Standing Alone) a little country(Song For Mia)and a little ballad(This Is). It is really an amazing array and shows to my delight that this lady doesnt have A style but many and does them all very well.

When I first bought the CD and saw track 11(Thank You) is said it cant be. My music roots were rock and roll back in the day and I clearly remember a Zeppelin tune of the same name. I checked the writing credit and guess what-Lizz was covering a Zeppelin song. I figured this would be a bust-most people cant cover Zeppelin and dont even try. I listened to it and I believe both Page and Plant would be proud of the result.

After this CD I am convinced Lizz could sit in with the boys on an acoustic version of 'Stairway' and if Jimi were alive could do a killer duet of 'All Along The Watchtower".

Buy this CD. Ms. Wright is a very talented singer, a thoughtful and emotion songwriter and has one of the more versital sounds I have heard in awhile.

"Lenora's picks", This is my favorite Lizz Wright CD. I was surprised that she was so young. Her voice and spirit is rich with experience and passion. I look forward to seeing her perform in person. Sit back, close your eyes, and let her enter your soul.
