One of life's greatest joys is that of discovery.
From the first notes of the first songs on Lisa And Her Kin's
CD's, "Two Weeks In Texas" and "Chicken Shack,"
I knew that I had found a group as dedicated to keeping
the true sound of Country alive and well. I'm proud to
include them on my two radio shows.
My only regret is that there only two CD's. Can't wait to
see what you've got up your honky tonky sleeve on the
next one!

Rowena Muldaven - Heartland Public Radio
"Honky-tonk reliables Lisa and Her Kin play music that's often as sad and lonesome in subject matter as it is earnest in conviction. Theirs is the kind of simple, country music--all steel guitars, fiddles and Lisa's rough, twangy vocals--that recalls a time when the home was on the range and Will Rogers and Henry Fonda were kings."
- Kim Colton Willamette Week
Lisa has a kind of rough and tumble voice, and style that is straight country/honky tonk. We all know there's not enough of it around any more! She wrote most of the tunes....Fool's Gold is my favorite, but there are several fine tunes. They can rock too, as on "Sugar Pop".
- MB Blue Suede News Summer Issue
"This band can whip out bluesy country-tonk with a powerful amount of soul. They laydown some hot licks and give us dance hall music so real you can smell the beer and cigarettes."
- Kathy Coleman Take Country Back
This is a versatile band that has set itself the task on this album of performing in traditional tones.They have succeeded. They sing and rock with 'River Of Regret" and "Only Mama That''ll Walk The Line".....Always in the foreground are the traditional country sounds of steel guitar, honky tonk piano and naturally Lisa's prominant, somewhat smokey and dark voice....Altogether we hear one first-rate mixture of lively and tranquil traditional country ballads.For fans of the tradition it's an absolute must!
