Album Notes

So many styles of music are represented in Lisa Mann\'s new CD that it\'s hard to categorize, but good old American blues weaves it\'s way through the entire work of art. \"Chop Water\" is replete with phenomenal musical performances that will satisfy the most discriminating ear. Lisa Mann\'s Really Good Band, featuring members of the Blues Music Award-nominated Insomniacs, laid down so many hot tracks that you will return to listen to them again and again.

Lisa Mann is a Portland, OR area singer/songwriter and bass player. She has received the Cascade Blues Association\'s Bass Player of the Year award, and took second place in the national music video competition, \"Famecast\" in Austin, TX.

Lisa\'s lyrics are inspired by hard living, good loving, and spiritual transformation of the Zen variety. We invite you to listen to the \"Zen Blues\" of this true original.
