It's a soundtrack for every harried woman's life, a best girlfriend telling you it will all be okay. I dont know how she crawled into my head and saw what I've been thinking, but she has, and she is most welcome there, because her album is both affirmation and antidote to the stress and worries of the day. And she manages to do it with such grace and warmth that I dont even resent that she's so maddeningly gorgeous.".. ....LIZ PHAIR.. .."Lisa and I met when we were both new mothers in Chicago and it was basically she who taught me to love singing! Her confidence and faith have never come across more clearly than in this new cd and I hope her thoughtful and soul-searching journey is as inspiring to you as it is to me.Those of us who love her have been waiting a long time for this, so enjoy!".. ....REV.

Influences
..........BILLY JOEL...... "The quality of the vocal, the soul and the shout in it, and the lyric still kills me, a simple turn of the phrase, but also his touch on the piano was big for me - he sinks his teeth in, pounds it out unabashedly, he taught me how to play the piano for the release of it." ..............CAROLE KING...... "How can a song stick with you day in and day out? this woman is a master - my daughters can belt out every word of 'I Feel the Earth Move'" ..............SEAL...... "I know it may seem inconsistent, but this voice still cuts me to the core - I just love his spirit and his sound." ............MATT REDMAN.... "Not striving for artist stardom and truly a minister in his heart, his lyrics embrace the complexities of faith in a unique way." ..........FREE LISA LYNNE MATHIS RINGTONES....
