A mix of modern pop amusements, indie rock discontent and singer/songwriter confessionals. There is so much variety here that each track is like putting on a fresh pair of underwear. It just feels good.

Details:
This is Beth's NEW CD! Woohoo! She's very excited about it. You can get a copy here or an autographed copy at her website. And now, for a couple of quotes from a couple reviews of the CD followed by the bio......
"On My Glass Eye, Beth Thornley blends pop, alternative rock, and punk that really isnât comparable to many other female solo artists out there." American Songwriter
"Be it aggressive punk rock or a rich piano and cello ballad, the jerky rhythms of alt-rock or even a melancholy tango, Thornley feels at home." All Music Guide
"So solid is the album as a whole that the excellent acoustic cover of "Eleanor Rigby" at discâs end feels more like an encore than a highlight." Illinois Entertainer
"If you like âsmart popâ a la Aimee Mann, Sam Phillips or Brandi Carlile, you owe it to yourself to check out this CD." Keyboard Magazine
Bio:
You may assume that Beth Thornley is just another female singer/songwriter but sheâs not. . After hearing the first exhilarating chord changes of âStand,â the opening track of her album âMy Glass Eyeâ, youâll soon discover that Beth is not your ordinary songwriter.
On My Glass Eye, Bethâs second collection, youâll hear echoes of highly regarded stylists like Beth Orton, Matthew Sweet, and Aimee Mann. There are hints of Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, even Tom Waits. Beth shares traits with all of these songwriters, and she takes great pride in assembling the kind of work that measures up to such an esteemed group. But sheâs also intensely original, with the ability to look and sound like no one but herself.
On the strength of My Glass Eye, many are about to find out just who this singer/songwriter is. The recording, produced by Bethâs faithful and gifted producer Rob Cairns, takes a kaleidoscopic trip through pop music, stopping frequently at various scenic overlooksâpower pop, hard rock, piano confessionals, even acoustic blues.
âIâve avoided being a romantic,â admits Beth. âI wanted to write with a broad range of view, not just love songs, more Elvis Costello vinegar and less pop sugar.
If all stylistic hopscotch and intricate subject matter makes Beth somewhat elusive to categorize, then so be it. âI donât know what my box is,â she says. âIâm definitely a singer-songwriter, but that doesnât mean Iâm only a light-a-candle, sing-a-pretty-song artist..â
Her debut, a self-titled indie effort from 2003, earned Beth lots of attention; her songs âI Will Lieâ and âDoneâ were named as a rock category finalist in the â03 and â05 USA Songwriting Competition respectively and many of her songs have found homes in film and on the small screen alike. âDoneâ from My Glass Eye placed in the top ten of the rock category for the USA Songwriting Competition 2005. Her tracks have been featured in a variety of television and film projects including The Perfect Man, Scrubs, Dawsonâs Creek, Roswell and most recently Beautiful People and Opus Films picture Between.
