REBECCA FRAZIER Vinilo y CD

Review: Multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Rebecca Frazier has plenty of accoladed to her name. Some, like her being rhetorical first woman to grace the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine, are commendable but mainly serve to emphasise how backwards the music press often still is. Others, like her 2018 'Guitar Performer of the Year' award from the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America, speak volumes about how talented she is. On Boarding Windows In Paradise she's making a serious case for recognition well outside the bluegrass scene. The guitar work throughout is nothing sort of spectacular and - in many moments - mind-boggling in its pace and complexity. The lyrics are delivered with the heartfelt sincerity of a true great, and her personality shines on every number. Exceptional stuff, to put it mildly.
