Lisa Marshall: Press

"...that pretty little pixie was a musician through and through. She knew her chops and busted ass to get there. Then she opened her mouth. Good Lord! She barely comes up to my ribcage but she has got the voice of a serious belter, and refreshing. What really makes it is that when she sings a song..you can't imagine it being sung any other way."-Chopperman, Adventure Rider, WA.

Rebekah Coltman and Lisa Marshall wrote and produced this CD. Lisa sings. She might remind you of ARETHA FRANKLIN or BESSIE SMITH. Most of these are slow bluesy songs. Once in a while the pace picks up. Lisa has a wonderful voice for this kind of music. The CD includes a live version of “Silver Ghost”. It sounds better than some studio recordings, I've heard. Rebekah Coltman plays slow, careful guitar. Her note playing is mixed with slides and bends. While her solos are short, they make good listening. Susan Joyner adds depth to the songs on keyboards. Not that spooky sound goth bands use. On some songs, she plays saxophone. Saxophone is an instrument, that fits with this type of music. The drum part is not too loud nor too soft. This is provided by John Knecht. His experience with jazz and African music benefits these songs. The bass line is played by William Clinton Calton III. He provides the right amount of drive for these melodies. Boogie describes the music well. At times it's slow and sad and meaningful. “Silver Ghost” has a faster last verse. “Reason Away” has more rhythm to it. The guitar part shines through. I’m giving this CD full score for quality, because it deserves it. [10 points: quality / 6 points: rock] (Jack Little)

She "belts 'em out like Janis Joplin and can gyrate like master contortionist Joe Cocker,"writes Monterey journalist Beth Peerless.

“Lisa Marshall is a singer and performer of incredible range, power and skill. She is one of a very select few vocalists that can take a song and breathe life and feeling into a performance that will take the listener on an emotional and joyful musical ride. She combines a solid foundation of old Motown R&B with a modern-day driving beat and then flavors it with a pinch of Southern rock. Her original songs are well crafted with intelligent lyrics, timeless melodies and a delivery that strips the song down to its raw emotions.” Kevin Fallon -owner and founder of Northwest Guitars, Bellevue, WA. www.northwestguitars.com
