Becky belongs to that very special class of pure and simple female folksingers, sharing ground with Barbie Sipple, Marj Snyder and Linda Rich. Just as pretty a voice, too: warm, fragile and sensitive, sometimes with a light vibrato mildly suggestive of Joan Baez — a perfect fit for this album’s relaxed outdoor picturesque acoustic setting. Thirteen original songs (eight written or co-written by Becky), plus a cover of «Come To The Water». Typically just strummed or finger-picked acoustic guitar for backing, creating lovely delicate moods within titles like «God Gave Me A Light», «I’ve Searched», «Gospel Ship», «Jesus Song», «Children’s Song» and «Now». Periodic assistance from friends on bass, drums, piano, background vocals and additional guitar. A male singer joins her for «Only Word» and the lively «House Song». Sepia cover photo of Becky walking through the woods with her guitar. From St. Cloud, Minnesota, released on a St. Paul custom label. 1000 pressed. The title track was chosen to lead off Wayfaring Strangers: Ladies From The Canyon, a 2006 compilation CD of obscure female folksinger private press recordings.
