"Hide & Seek," Lisa Mandelstein's debut CD, is a moody, hopeful, sweet/spicy mix of songs. Lisa collaborated with two creative co-producers to make each song shine.

Christopher Krotky's strong percussion and unique bass tracks laid the foundation for dynamic yet intimate settings on the songs recorded at his studio (Atomic Tangerine Productions). Check out his arrangements of "Post-mortem" and "Hide and Seek"("Someone's Else's Crime" too)!

Tom Meshishnek records many San Francisco artists and for many years ran the standing-room-only underground music series, Mo's Melody Mansion. In a

ddition to recording talent, he always came up with the right sound at the right time (banjos & balalaikas & washboards, oh my).

Jeri Jones(www.blamesally.com), laid down languid guitar solos and some tasty slide to get things simmering. Pam Delgado, another Blame Sally gal, added percussion grooves for "Tip Jar" and "Spirograph." Check their website to hear Blame Sally's tight harmonies and uplifting lyrics!

Kelly Takunda Orphan sang backup vocals on two songs, including a smoking vocal to end "Someone Else's Crime." Get her amazing CD "Give It to the People!" right here at CDBaby.com!

Daniel Fabricant added jazz-tinged upright bass to "Grandma's Piano" and "Mariette." Alan Lin (Noe Venable; Vienna Teng) laid down violin tracks for the title song "Hide and Seek," from which Chris K created stunning interwoven parts. And, Julie Smolin, another amazing bay area musician, crafted the elegant violin parts on "Grandma's Piano" and "Spirograph."

The CD comes with a beautiful booklet: 10 pages with lyrics and original artwork by SteveLomprey.com.
