Featuring new classics like "Normal's Just a Setting on the Washing Machine" and "When the Guru was
Around", this recent release is peppered with appearances by an all-star cast of national musicians, including Dar Williams, Ellis Paul, Jennifer Kimball, Brooks Williams, Mark Kelso and Alisa Fineman.
The clarity of the writing and the sophistication of the production make "Religion and Release" Lewis's best album to date. There's not a bad note on it, nor any song that won't hold up to repeated
listening. Seth Rogovoy, Berkshire Eagle Highly recommended, one of the 10 best I've heard this year. Alan Rowoth, F_M Digest Lewis' finest achievement. It's a winner from every angle. Roberta

Isle of Spirit, produced by Adam Rothberg, (Dar Williams), was hailed by the Berkshire Eagle as Bernice Lewis "most mature, successful recorded effort to date." Featuring such
radio-ready material as "As Soon As It Stops Raining" and "Moses and Me", the diverse collection of songs, which garnered a three-star review by Seth Rogovoy in the Boston Phoenix, also
features the western-swing novelty, "Red Cowboy Boots", the hauntingly heartbreaking Holocaust song, "Ways To Survive" and "Bridges That Hold", a ballad that one critic has called "an
instant classic." |
