“Butler is a
unique package....Her voice, a smooth, slightly husky alto that
can slide up to thrilling high notes, has a comfortable,
soothing timbre; but she changes attitudes from song to song
with the facility of a trained actor, striking a balance
somewhere between the silken elegance of Norah Jones and the
edginess of Patricia Barber....I marveled at the spell this
singer could weave...recalling similar moments listening to
Billie Holiday, Betty Carter, Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell. Bett
Butler brought me to that place where music can salve the
deepest wound, mend the heart most broken.”―John
Swenson, United Press International
“Bett Butler is one of my favorite singers...a
beautiful woman with a stunning voice...cool, smooth, and
well-versed in jazz and R&B.”
―Jim Beal Jr., San Antonio Express-News
“How can such a big voice come from such a tiny
lady?....Watching Bett perform...is a lesson in crowd control.
Her voice, her control of the ivories, and her interplay with
the audience combine to weave a spell that makes you
hers....Bett Butler is a gem.”
―Mike Hood, The Current
“Versatile and entertaining.”
―Astrid Sheil, San Antonio Monthly
"A sensitive songcrafter and beautiful performer....foxy and
feisty, with a crisp and sometimes seductive voice which is
distinguished by some unusual phrasing....Her keyboard work is
effortless and silk-smooth...."
―Sam Kendrick, Action Magazine
