Quotes...................
“ A magnificent and versatile singer, Lisa is a bright beacon of soul and melodicism, equally radiant on-stage or on CD”. Jude Gold, musician & editor-Guitar Player Magazine
“ Lisa has a very soulful voice. She has the ability to rock hard then keep the same energy of
emotion on a ballad”.
Skip Mesquite, sax player, “Tower of Power”
“ I was looking to invest my resources in a great female singer. When I first heard Lisa, I was blown away and immediately decided to work with her. She has exceeded my expectations and continues to amaze me with her singing and songwriting talent on this world class CD”.
Brian Wachorst, SF Booking.com
“ Lisa is one of the best singers I’ve been around. She really knows how to work a song”.
Cedricke Dennis, Bay Area guitarist
ABOUT THE CD!!!!
New Release January 2006
“InHerVoice Records” is proud to present…Lisa Battle.
Yes, it has arrived, her debut solo, self-titled CD; 4 years in the making and worth every note. 10 songs of soulful pop with a taste of rock, Lisa gives songwriting a new comeback.
The Bay Area based singer/songwriter carefully chose tunes to stay away from the ever changing music trends- to stay honest in her lyrics and far from the "Too Young To Know" syndrome of musicians today. Lisa has done her homework. “Keeping an emotional story that gets to you close enough to want to share it" is why Lisa writes music
as she grew up listening to movie scores,jazz and R&B. Her songs give us stories about hope,staying grounded and knowing that love is always nearby; emotions that are truly felt here.
Many artists have played their amazing talent and simple beauty on this record.
Norton Buffalo gives a huge heartfelt harmonica solo on “Counting The Days”.
Awesome rhythm and solo guitar work from Bay Area’s Cedricke Dennis are felt
with smooth grooves throughout the record not to mention some beautiful acoustic
sounds. Grammy winner Carl Wheeler from the Toni's plays incredibly beautiful
solo/ improv work and had the chance between tours with Frankie Beverley to be in the studio long enough to play on 3 tunes! Mike Vanderhule, Bay Area drummer, was the perfect choice to capture the slams the project needed to put that glass finish on the tunes. Ken Harrill plays the perfect guitar solo on “Rain” with that LA studio vibe feel. The big boomy, “in the pocket”
sounds of Tiran Porter was what put him on the map with the Doobie Brothers.
Now Lisa has the joy of his talent on the first tune “Ain’t Thru Lovin’ U as well as
a few others. Kevin Hedges from the Live105 band, “Ted 302” put his sweet emotion
on piano on “Little Girl”, “When Rivers Rise”, “Rain” and ”When The Memories
Fade” that started this project a few years ago. Jubu, a world-class session guitarist
came in the studio, sat down and played the acoustic solo on “Counting The Days”
in one take, truly amazing. Singer Loralee Christensen, whose talent goes from
“Nashville” sessions to Television commercials and CD’s of her own really kicks
butt on “When Rivers Rise” along with Christian singer Linda Thorp.
Nate Pitts laid down some grooves that are truly memorable, from
the beginning basic track sessions to performing with Lisa in her band.
Singer/ songwriter Simon Russell collaborated very nicely on “Don’t Wanna Lose”
and “One Of These Days”. His specialty is pop/soul and a lot of fun to hear.
Saxophonist Zac Johnson gives great solo performances on “Rivers Rise” and “Ain’t Thru Lovin’ U “ with his arrangements being a trademark.
Long time friend & Co-producer / Engineer Rick Barretta adds the finesse that each song needed.
InHerVoice Records, January 2006.

true performances, great songwriter and and that song Rain...wow!
author: Judy RossI remember when Lisa was in Japan while finishing pre-production for this CD. I never imagined it to turn out to be such a world class record. The songs tell amazing stories and all the talent she has beside her! I still think Rain is a huge hit. The production is flawless. Can't wait to hear the next one!
Wonderful soulfull voice and great songs!
author: DankyWonderful songs from a lady with a fine voice. When the keyboards start you are just left waiting for the soul to kick in...and she delivers in style. The sporadic use of saxophone in the album lends sophistication at all the right times and her keyboard accompaniment is excellent. This CD will be in my car for quite a while. Three thumbs up!
