"Elisabeth
Cutler's 3rd album, Tower of Silence, features a provocative
edginess that suggests she's taking chances...All of the
songs gain strength from the refined, evocative jazz-pop
arrangements, which are elegant and hauntingly unusual.
Cutler's songs balance the personal and the spiritual...
built on a foundation of pulsating rhythms... (her) work
slices through; the emotion of her songs contains an undeniable
thrust that's both distinct and effective."

"An
elegant jazz/folk vein where the songs take a left turn whenever
they get too precious."

"Whether
we're talking about Nashville or the nation at large, the
vast majority of singer/songwriters with any juice are women...
the best non-Music Row types are right here in town - Elisabeth
Cutler..."

"Cutler
has emerged as a mainstay of Nashville's growing non-country
scene. She writes songs that offer intelligent, introspective
peeks through a multi-colored musical glass... a capable
guitarist and arranger too."

"Leave
it to Big Bob - Bob Dylan - to once again shed light on the
human condition, especially Nashville's human condition.
Indeed, there are a dozen albums from local singer-songwriters
I'd rather listen to than the new Dylan. A few of these artists:...Elisabeth
Cutler...So thanks, Big Bob, for the insight. You reminded
me that the aforementioned Nashville artists, and others,
are doing very good - not merely good stuff."

"Smart
refined acoustic pop... the point of view is all her own.
modern pop music...mature-sounding acoustic instrumentation...
experimenting with forms rather than adhering to formulas...
powerful."

Cutler has one of the most fully-realized musical visions
anywhere. 'Bury the Ghost' is wonderfully cohesive...
beautiful voice, great ideas. She'll be a big deal before
long."-

vocals and well-constructed songs. "Bury the Ghost" has the
