Hearns has made several professional recordings to date including her debut jazz release "I Got It Bad & That Ain't Good' produced by six-time Grammy Award Winner Elliot Scheiner. Scheiner wrote "The first time I heard Lisa Hearns sing, I knew I had to work with her...She is truly one of the most extraordinary singers I have ever worked with. She has a most identifiable voice and an artistic approach to performing unlike anyone I've ever worked with."

The album features special guest guitarist Howard Alden [Concord Records], upright bassist and arranger Kelly Friesen, pianist Keith Ingham, and drummer Arnold Wise.
