Album Notes

Liz Mandville Greeson spent the late 1980s running up and down the road with her R&B band the Supernaturals. She played thousands of gigs, from smoky biker bars to swanky theatres, casinos to yacht clubs, honing her musical chops and crowd-pleasing skills. In 1994, a chance meeting with bassist Aron Burton led to Liz’ subsequent performance with him at the 1994 Chicago Blues fest, two tracks on his 1996 Earwig release, “Aron Burton Live”, and a long-standing performing relationship. “Live” also marked Liz’s recording debut and the beginning of her professional association with Earwig Music Company.
Liz holds the distinction of being the only white vocalist to perform regularly at the internationally known Blue Chicago nightclubs, where she held court from 1994 to 1999. Backed by former Junior Wells bandleader George Baze, Liz contributed two tracks to the 1998 Blue Chicago release, "The Red Hot Mamas". While at Blue Chicago, Liz had the opportunity to work with a veritable who’s who of contemporary blues men: Willie Kent, Michael Coleman and Maurice John Vaughn, among others. Albert Collins’ alumni, Aron Burton (bass), Allen Batts (keys), and Dave Jefferson, (longtime Albert King drummer), made up Liz’ rhythm section for the latter part of the 1990s, and played on her first two CDs released by Earwig Music Company of Chicago.
On stage it’s magic! Hip shakin' Liz gets the crowd dancing with the first blast of her powerful, four octave, soul-drenched voice. She is a high voltage performer and a red hot mama. She is also solid as an acoustic and electric guitar player and her rub board playing adds a spicy back-porch feel. Equally at home in an intimate club setting or on a festival stage, she is a total professional, on time and in control! She continues to tour internationally to critical acclaim, gaining new many devoted fans at each show. She also has a large amount of recorded material and is looking at releasing one or two more albums in the near future.
Quotes
“Brassy, sassy singer with a knack for writing spicy, blues flavored songs that can rock and rollick." -Blues Revue
"She delivers...with unimpeachable enthusiasm and lusty gusto. Look at her indeed." 
- Living Blues

"Chicago's blues diva wraps her four octave muscle around 14 roots originals stoked by talented musicians Albert King's and Albert Collins' rhythm sections. A tireless bandleader on the tough Chicago club circuit, Liz describes her blues as "about an indomitable fighting spirit that makes people keep facing adversity... in my show and on this CD I'm telling people, 'You're not by yourself... Get out there and do what you have to do because somebody understands.'" - Real Blues

Look at Me displays the wide range of Liz's lyric ideas and musical arrangements, including the hard-driving Life Sentence of the Blues, and I'm On a Rocket Tonight, the R&B groove of Everybody's Breakin' Up, the gospel-tinged Look In Your Heart, and the inspirational Somebody You'll Win, the coquetish humor of Fish Food and I'm So Blue, the intensely political blues of Trouble Times, and the forlorn Shoulda Been A Love Song and Gone Away, Problem Solved, plus four other hip-shakin', soulful grooves.
