Don't let those big eyes and young look deceive you...Diane Birch sings with a maturity far beyond her years. Think Carole King, Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks talent. She impresses in her debut album Bible Belt, combining a powerful voice, skillful piano playing and superb song writing. Listening to her music is like riding a retro time machine back to the music of my childhood years. Birch describes herself as an "old soul." Old soul she may be, but she's managed to make herself a new favorite as well.
Birch combines many great musical styles seamlessly together, creating a sound all her own...gospel, doo-wop, country-blues, 70's pop. The music is a refreshing change from the standards on the radio today. I love so many of the songs on the album it is hard to choose my favorite. The gospel-like "Rise Up" ranks high on my list, as well as "Fire Escape," the opening song sung with such feeling.

Birch offers an unique sound which is similar to some other artists, but she doesn't fit into just one type or specific artist. Her voice is a melodic trip with strength and character. I loved all the tracks, and it is hard to pick a favorite. It offers tracks which make you reflect (Fire Escape); if offers tracks which make your feet move (Valentino). All thirteen tracks are well worth the listen, again and again. New Artist with lots of talent whom I hope from which we will be hearing a lot more.
What's great about it: Her voice is one that is hard to put into one category--it's bluesy, bluegrass, folksy style with a twist.

I wasn't sure what to expect.I'm not really into jazz and blues. But, it was a great surprise. I find myself humming along while listening to her songs. The lyrics are really good and somewhat have deeper meaning coming from the heart and her experiences. Her voice is relaxing, soulful. This will be a great addition in your collection if you like this type of music. Check it out! You will not regret it!

This album by Diane Birch carries such a unique sound. It's not a sound you hear often on the radio and is a breath of fresh air. Diane's voice reminds me of Norah Jones- with a twist. And the music steers clear of the typical piano/guitar sound we hear, including a wide variety of instruments. Between the music and her voice, this album provides a fresh listening experience.

Although Diane Birch is only in her mid-20's, she sings with the heart of an old soul. This debut album showcases her mesmerizing voice, which has a blusy, timeless, raw, emotional, and soulful quality.
I love all the songs on this album, but my absolute favorites are:
#2 - "Valentino", which has a very strong, catchy, melody.
#4 - "Nothing but a Miracle," a not-so-typical 'relationship song' with a very mature sound.
#6 - "Rise Up", which offers a tongue-in-cheek view of religion.
#12 - "Forgiveness," a blues-inspired song that showcases Diane's incredible voice.
