Product Description

CD Description

Singer-songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman brings her distinctly thoughtful, intelligent lyrics and acoustic folk style to the subjects of grief, loss, and healing on SAND AND WATER. Chapman, whose husband died of cancer in 1994, manages an amazing feat on this album, exposing her most tender and raw emotions with complete candor and without a hint of self-pityor maudlin sentimentality. Despite its deeply felt sadness,SAND AND WATER is also full of joy and life. The slightly exotic, percussive "Beyond The Blue" addresses a lost loved one, depicting death as a wonderful journey rather than a dark or frightening one. SAND AND WATER is filled with heartbreaking glimpses of a very personal, aching loss, yet somehow Chapman transcends the grief and moves toward a new appreciation for what it means to be alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll shed a tear or two - and you'll be happy to., 11 Jan 2003
By Geoff Hall "Geoff Hall" (Borehamwood, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
When my son was diagnosed with cancer, I had to relive the agony of watching both my parents battle against the illness, a battle they did not win, but my son (perhaps) is. Listening to this album - and knowing what BNC has gone through, both with her late husband and her own battle against breast cancer - adds great poignancy to what is, already, a beautiful album.

Each word can be heard - she sings with clarity, passion and hope. The arrangements are sheer class and the whole album is put together beautifully. The guest singers, Michael MacDonald and Bonnie Raitt, are excellent and, if "The Color Of Roses" or "Sand And Water" don't make you shed a tear or two, I guaratee the final track "Say Goodnight" will do so. Leave the disc playing, as there is a lovely little bit of instrumental on it at the end.

It's a wonderful album - it's just a pity I took so long to get to know it and I'm even more embarrassed that I have not bought another of her albums. I hope to put that right soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem, 5 Mar 2003
By A Customer
Like a lot of people i got to know Beth's work through a chance hearing of one of her songs on the radio {'Dance with me slow' from 'You hold the key'). After hearing the album i went on to discover more and purchased Sand and water. I was not disappointed this album held more resonance for me, it is filled with emotive lyrics and for those of us who have lost a loved one it has lyrics that can be identified with. 'Sand and water' and 'Say goodnight' are my favorite tracks for that reason, which is not to forget the more up tempo tracks which provide a bit of rocking relief such as 'hands up for the wrecking ball'and 'happy girl'I would strongly advise anyone who likes music that can touch them emotionally and make them think to buy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost like eavesdropping, 27 Mar 2005
By John Williams (Llansadwrn, Wales/Cymru) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I first bought BNC's 'Deeper Still' album (and have reviewed it on this site if you'd care to take a look). A lot of the other reviewers compared 'Sand and Water' with 'Deeper Still', so considering what a wonderful album that was, I just had to have this one. I had not heard any of the songs on this album before buying it, but thought it would be worth the risk. My faith was rewarded. Actually I do think 'Deeper Still' is marginally the better of the two, but that's just nitpicking. There sin't a dud song on this album, and some of them are just ....well, great. They are all the more moving when one considers the depths from which they have welled up. Most of them, the more contemplative ones at least, are a tribute to BNC's love for her late husband. The title track and 'No One Knows But You' could wrench tears from the hardest of hearts. But all is not gloom; the bouncy 'Happy Girl' is also performed with great conviction, and is one of my favourites, and there are other upbeat songs. The production is good, with the voice coming over very clearly; on some tracks you could imagine the singer to be in the room, performing just for you. Makes me want to catch a live performance next time BNC visits the UK. Definitely five stars.
