Website: www.bettinaglio.ch. Recorded in Switzerland, 'Sometimes' is a collection of 13 tracks mostly written or co-written by Claudia backed by some amazingly good musicians. Is this a blues album? Not exactly - but it has a depth and a lyrical content which will take you into a blues frame of mind. The lyrics are superb; songs such as 'God Hired The Devil' hits the current state of the world right on the head. So keep your eyes and ears open for Ms. Bettinaglio. - Blues Matters (UK)
