notes
Lisa Locke is currently living and making music in the Boston area, but her songs are influenced by the time she has spent on three continents in a wide variety of conditions.
She learned to play the guitar, and started writing songs, while teaching English with the Peace Corps in Far Eastern Russia. Two years as the only native English speaker in a town 10,000 miles from home gave her a lot of time alone with herself, and the intensely introspective songs on "In It for the Drama" were mostly written during that time.
Lisa started her writing career as a poet, so her lyrics are tight and rich with imagery. Her melodies, probably Russian-influenced, often favor minor keys. Some have said they have a Celtic feel. "In It for the Drama" was produced by Sammy James, with the talented Sean Dennehy on acoustic guitar.
If you are interested in Lisa's work, more information, including lyrics, is available on her website, www.lisalocke.net.

Easy to listen to! Wonderful lyrics!
author: Michael BigosA wonderful CD! This CD clearly demonstrates the artist's talent for lyrics and the amount of effort and heart that she put into this creation. She should be very proud of her accomplishment!
An intimate sonic portrait of love and loss
author: James ChristensenAn impressive debut for an artist with a gift for lyrics. I look forward to the next one.
Poignant and haunting, the cd captures the stories of real lives told with Lisa'
author: ChiemiPoignant and haunting, Lisa's deep and introspective lyrics leave you thinking about the words long after the songs have finished playing....The music has many minor chords -- bittersweet and a beautiful compliment to Lisa's clear and soulful vocals. All the songs speak volumes while at the same time soothing the ear with the musical notes. Nos. 7-10 stand out in particular. "Different Tides" [No. 7] has a silky feel, accompanied by piano. "The Man Inside" [No. 8] paints a picture, a scene and a history all at once, and is told in tones of compassion. This is followed by "Waiting by the Door" [No. 9], which contains beautiful space --space to contemplate. Finally, "Waterlilies" [No. 10] concludes the cd with Lisa's voice blending with the piano. It creates the feeling of being embraced by the sanctity, stillness and peace of pools of unusual and brilliant water.
A great voice
author: geoff garroneIn It For The Drama gives the listener not only a great voice but thoughtful and deep song writing. A great listen for someone who truly loves singer-songwriters.
