Early Days is the first album by Beth Hirsch, released in 2000.
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that Hirsch "bridges powdery lyrics and floating acoustics throughout the nine-track album, singing from an inner spirituality." The Evening Post wrote that "it's possibly a little too narrowly focused and while the self-penned arrangements are beguiling, the disc hardly progresses beyond delicate and pretty." Newsday deemed the album "standard acoustic singer-songwriter fare, a throwback to the days when Joni Mitchell sounded fresh."
