Being worth it for one song
Review written by John Fitzgerald, October 20th, 2004

I don't know whose idea is was but "Being human" tries for a concept album approach of stringing all of the tracks together in a seamless whole (rather than have space in between each track) which perhaps should not have been done but this isn't exactly Pink Floyd so separating the tracks won't be too hard. Unfortunately, the title track of this album is rather faceless and although she's listed as being on it, you can't hear Bekka very well on it. However, "Two of the lucky ones" is a beautiful emotional piano/acoustic guitar led ballad which is a real standout on this album and almost sounds out of place compared to the rest of the material but it is essential Bekka listening regarding what has been released so far in her career that she has been on. There are many other decent ballads on this album like the steel guitar and clave featured "Somethin' 'bout a Sunday" but it doesn't go anywhere, another one that is rather bland is "Let me love you one more time". Then there's the acquired taste for the old fashioned waltz sounding country croon of "Slow dance" and what is listed on the CD as a "bonus track" called "Before another day goes by" which is very similar to the previous track but a slight improvement on the instrumentation. By contrast, there's the fast driver "Stomp" but the fiddle plucks keep it homespun. Another fiddle led stomp is "Sure feels real good" which isn't my thing personally but I can see it appealing to those that enjoy that style. There are some high points like the opening track "Laughin' all the way to the bank" which is a slapping hoe-down clucker which is helped tremendously by the much needed banjo lines throughout, the strumming yodeler "You find love when you make it" which includes a good pop beat and the moderate jangler "I owe it all to you". To me though. "Two of the lucky ones" is the one you'll find yourself repeating constantly on this CD and I can recommend this disc for this song alone.
