contagious, addictive, habit forming
author: rick mueller
lis harvey has a voice that rips with the licks-n-picks of her guitar, both of which she has combined with her brilliant lyrics to form this cd. nothing shy or restrained here! she's got some funky sense of innate truth and humor which she has spilled into this performance. the second the la song starts you wonder why this isn't all over the radio! absolutely infectious! the cd has a range of styles, set within a common musical and philosophical center. from brooding and slow to chipper and upbeat, the lyrics seem to capture the cynical comedy of a young life's already jaded journey. the energy is addictive, and i highly recommend this cd.

Lis Harvey (stop) Great songs (stop) A must-have (stop)
author: Ami - Erlendahle Records
This debut effort by our spunky little red-haired recording artist is a
real work of art - four tunes that fit together contemplatively
and musically. The LA Song is my favorite - a truly fresh song about
going your own way in spite of disapproval & opposition - but
Too Far Gone is the one that sticks in my head... I wake up singing that
song, man - "Later never comes because later is too late...
and she'll be too far, too far gone..."
AHH!
This cd follows the tradition of indie-rocker Juliana Hatfield
in terms of spit-fire melancholy, takes after the harmonies of
Jennifer Kimball and Jonatha Brooke (formerly the Story), and
serves it up neatly over a wink and a smile akin to Jill Sobule.
We here at E.R. are super proud of this first release - and
can't wait to share the second (full length) disc with you!
Look for _Human After All_ in late October 2000...
