	Beth Orton - PopMatters Concert Review
		Beth Orton walks out briskly, lithe and rail-thin, but with a grin and stride that betray a healthy diet or an onstage confidence built brick-by-brick from shy beginnings.
		Orton is one of those lucky musicians who, years ago, either stumbled onto a scene just as it was gaining mass appeal or helped create it.
		Orton herself is chatty, spilling out lively banter and random profanities that no doubt shock and offend those audience members who came expecting electronic lounge music and Herman Miller chairs.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Beth Orton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Orton sings with a heavy heart even when she is happy -- it's the burden that a full array of emotions can produce.
		Orton's signature is her vocal sincerity; her range is perhaps technically limited but her emotional expression is spectacular and intense.
		Orton’s work is an appealing kind of pop humanism that resonates with everyone from leftover folk rockers to Top 40 fanatics and ravers in their quieter moments.

	Beth Orton - PopMatters Concert Review
		Orton stepped on stage at Chicago's Vic Theatre in the stock stance of the folksinger, an acoustic guitar on her back and harmonica rack around her neck.
		Orton's skill as a singer and performer is in her pacing.
		Even within songs, Orton shapes and skewed the mood, whether it was through her halting, breaking vocals in the solo acoustic "Central Reservation" or the a cappella sha-la-la-las in "God Song".

	AskMen.com - Beth Orton
		The daughter of parents who were into activism and architecture, Beth Orton moved to London and tried her hand at acting before becoming a musician in the early 1990s.
		Beth’s moody and layered musical style led some to think that moroseness was all there was to her personality, but careful listening of her work reveals an artist who is unchanging only in the fact that she embraces many diverse influences.
		Beth’s father, an architectural draftsman, died when she was 11, and when Beth was 14, she moved with her mother and brother to East London.

	Beth Orton
		Despite an ability to reduce people to tears with her songs, Beth is more likely to steal your last cigarette than cry on your shoulder.
		Born in Norfolk, England in 1970, Beth moved to London with her mother at the age of fourteen and settled in Dalston.
		Since her older brothers had already gone the punk rock route, she felt the most rebellious thing she could do was "get into folk." She spent her late teen years immersed in everything from Nick Drake, to The Stone Roses and Rickie Lee Jones, before toying with the idea of acting and a drama course.

		Orton and company graced the stage well after 10 p.m., starting off with the subtle “Absinthe”—she set the mood with her light harmonica and romantic stories singing, “No I never find my way home,” giving homage to Blind Faith.
		The show glided along with all eyes trained on Orton as her charm toyed with the heart strings of the crowd—made up of a wide range of twenty to forty somethings, college kids, listeners of public radio, and the die hard fans of Beth’s now 10 year solo career.

	Beth Orton: Trailer Park---Ink Blot Magazine
		Once Beth Orton decided to work with William Orbit as the duo, Spill, on a cover of John Martyn's "Don't' Wanna Know About Evil", she decided to ditch her pursuit of an acting career and immerse herself in music.
		Orton's optimism is wonderfully clear on "Live As You Dream," and hearing her sing "I'm no one's daughter/ I belong to the sun/ Gonna ease your pain till the morning comes" on "Someone's Daughter" sends you soaring.
		And if Beth Orton can do all of that on her first album, you can be sure that all that follows Trailer Park is just as important to hold on to.

		Beth Orton, a 70s child from Norfolk, captures the essence of folk-music that runs through the whole of this album successfully.
		Having been an avid fan of ms orton since hearing touch me with your love on the radio way back in 1996 i have enjoyed both the trailer park and central reservation albums but have always cringed a little when the dance remixes are applied.
		It seems Beth has given herself a wake-up call - she is working with new musicians, has learned to play the piano and even plugs in an electric guitar on this set.

	Why We Love Beth Orton --- Ink Blot Magazine
		There is a certain coincidental irony in the title of Beth Orton's first solo single, "She Cries Your Name." No, she doesn't actually cry out any particular names, but after one listen to the song, people flocked to her like a siren.
		Orton began collecting fans that were so mad for her music, they arguably made Tori Amos fans look like slackers.

		From there, a collaboration began as Orton took an armful of dance influences and stuffed them through the hole in her acoustic guitar.

		Similarly, while it is highly unlikely that Beth is anybody's absolute favourite artist of all time, her appeal is exceptionally broad.
		How can you have a definitive collection of Beth Orton, she is just starting out, she is amazing and I don't see her slowing down quite yet; but whatever.
		There are several remixes of older Beth material, a completely different version of 'Central Reservation', and older stuff by Beth with William Orbit.

		Peeking around the corner of a dressing screen, Beth Orton's eyes are widening and a grin of slight embarrassment is spreading across her face.
		Orton started playing violin at seven, and tinkered with the piano, but only rarely got up enough nerve to pluck her brother's guitar when he wasn't home.
		There are holes in Orton's life, holes left from the early deaths of her parents, and as she grew from a teenager into a young woman, songwriting became a way to try and make sense of it all.

		Beth has recorded her second album with producers Victor Van Vught (producer of "Trailer Park") and David Roback (from eerie US duo Mazzy Star) and features guest appearances from jazz hero Terry Callier, Ben Watt (of Everything But The Girl), Ben Harper and Dr. John.

	Ink 19 :: Beth Orton
		Central Reservation is Beth Orton's follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut, Trailer Park.
		Throughout the album, Orton does not stray far from the format of her debut; string-based acoustic folk music injected with intermittent electronic percussion.
		Orton's buttery, British voice is the cornerstone of this album, especially on "Blood Red River." It is so beautiful and spacious, it creates a feeling of listening to it under the stars at an outdoor venue.

	Beth Orton - A&E>>Music
		Orton's laid-back, walk-in-the-park approach to music calms the soul without putting it to sleep.
		Orton's songs are also accompanied mostly by a nice combination/alternation of acoustic guitar, keyboard/piano, and soft drums that makes one dream of lazy summer days spent sitting on the front porch letting time pass.
		As for Orton herself, she sings with an earthy quality that doesn't lecture or croon, but reflects on reality in a very mellow and thoughtful manner.

		Beth herself seems aware of the impact this may have on a prejudicial audience, judging from the layout of the liner notes.
		A neophyte to Orton's work would be best recommended to start with PASS IN TIME, her excellent compilation and then proceed to her three proper albums and the great BEST BITS EP (the remix one leaves me a fad appathetic).
		Beth Orton is an excellent singer-songwriter who weaves modern touches into more traditional folk styled songs to create some essential listening.

	Singer-songwriter Beth Orton goes from folk/trip-hop fusion to relaxed and retro on her new CD, 'Comfort of Strangers' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Ten years ago, Beth Orton was the avatar of British acoustic-folk/trip-hop fusion, a figurative marriage of Sandy Denny and Tricky.
		By stark contrast, Comfort of Strangers was made with a core trio of Orton on guitar, piano and a bit of percussion and harmonica; O'Rourke on bass, piano and a little guitar, marimba and organ; and Tim Barnes (of The Essex Green and Silver Jews) on drums and percussion.
		As with especially Neil and Buckley -- and, of course, the late Sandy Denny, the timeless Leonard Cohen and Orton's contemporary, Chan Marshall -- the instrumentation and casual-feeling arrangements ultimately serve the voice, which in turn is a vehicle for the lyrics.

		This cd was a pleasant surprise as the second Beth Orton cd I have been exposed to- the first was a disappointing Daybreaker cd that started off really well only to drop off in the middle and end with a dull whimper.
		Orton also effectively communicates each song to the listener with her earthy voice which works well with the musical composition of the cd.
		beth orton has the voice of an angel and to me this is her strongest set of songs, so far.
