Ursula West - Daughter of Country


 

The peculiar charm of Ursula West's evening lies in its simple eloquence and lack of pretense. With her music (Johannes Roloff & his band) and a remarkable combination of innocence and strength, she tells her tale, an affecting and fascinating story of a mother and wife, singer and songwriter, but most of all, of a woman.
It's funny, sad, intense, but what makes it is Ursula West herself. She's "just folks" - but her appealing vulnerability and loving sensitivity will delight her fans and may even win her some converts to whom country music is an alien world.


"She is, in short, a person who even the sourest of cynics would have trouble not liking."
(New York Times)

"Hugely influential"
(Nashville Post)

"Sparkling.... she is different"
(Baltimore Sun)

 

"Ein Solo-Abend, der Vergleichbares noch lange suchen wird... Etwas, für das der Ausdruck "großes Theater" noch untertrieben ist... Sie ist so grausam nett. So unerträglich gut... Man möchte nie wieder etwas Anderes hören."
(Süddeutsche Zeitung)
