Bette Midler sings of melancholy and hope
The shadows of the times are depicted in "Songs For The New Depression."
Bette Midler's expressive vocals capture the anxieties and hopes of mid-1970s American society. Her songs, which cross over jazz, blues, and pop, demonstrate her artistic sophistication. This is a masterpiece that combines her charm as an entertainer with her depth as a singer.
