...................What people are saying...................
"This album kicks off in high style with a horn
section. Elyett’s excellent voice is enlivened by solid
harmonies. The songs tend toward philosophical
ruminations on life. For me, the highlight is the
finale, ‘The Lord’s Prayer,’ in which the singer cuts
loose with some particularly good, passionate
vocalizing."
David F. Dawes
"Listening to Barb's nicely crafted music is like sitting
down with a big mug of chicken soup when you
have a cold. The sincere lyrics are drawn together by
beautiful piano and Barb's warmly expressive voice.
Her heart for music and inspiring people is
unmistakable in these personal songs..."
Philippa McCracken
"Once in a while there comes across my desk an
artist that is what I would consider a "stand out."
Barb Elyett is one of those. Her project "The Simple
Side" is a CD that you must listen to.
Not only is every track beautiful, filled with her gift
of voice, but well produced, and spirit-filled. Elyett
is a Canadian, but has the potential of being a force
in the American market with the right promotion
efforts. Her stand out vocals and writing are
powerful and effective and need to be heard.
I encourage you to request Barb Elyett. You will not
be disappointed."
Michael Hughes
" 'The Simple Side' by Barb Elyett is one of those
CD's that's filled with special music that after you
hear it you'll say 'Thank You Lord.' Thank you for
giving me the chance to not only open my ears but
also my heart and soul to the simple wonders of
Your way.' "
C.W. Ross
"When I first put Barb Elyett's CD into the CD player I
knew it was inspired by the Holy Spirit! The Simple
Side is an album that everyone can enjoy!"
Pastor Larry James II
“The Simple Side” has a warm feeling infused with
spirit and encouragement."
Ken Wiegman
The Simple Side is a mixture of soft rock, gospel
and contemporary music. Barb has a great voice and
the band is very tight on the album.
One of my favorites is the acoustic, Thorns and
Fragrant Roses. It has a great heart to it. The lyrics
are deep and introspective. The song has a great
message, one of faith and adoration.
Bill Bolte
" When I'm searching for music that I know will put
me in a good frame of mind, I pull out your CD and I
find in minutes your music, especially the words,
bring me back, well...to the simple side of life. Life
can be so busy and complicated, but your music
addresses and sates the anxiety of our world with
God's simple truths. I find myself still singing your
songs in my head hours and days after listening to
your CD and I find comfort in your words."
Michelle
"Your CD, The Simple Side, is turning into my "mini-
escape" from the pressing day-to-day commitments
of everyday life. I love how every song on the CD
brings me back to the most important thing in life -
Christ. Thank you so much for this wonderful CD!"
Susan
"Thank you for this wonderful CD! Though I've never
personally possessed any artistic ability, I absolutely
love and am inspired by people that do have what I
lack! The honesty, sincerity and pure artistry that is
in every speck of your music is just gorgeous! I love
it!"
