--------'Life on Earth' review by Larry Norman----------
Lisa Weyerhaeuser is not a teenager, but she is full of life. I've known this girl for many years, and she is totally honest. In fact, her music, like her lacks artifice and guile. So this music is as pure in motive as you will hear in in today's Christian music scene.
I don't really know how to review this album. It is so simple and trusting by not clothing itself in defensive hip-ness and ambition that I feel like the album is actually reviewing me. What kind of person am I?
And I believe when you listen to this music, it will make subject your inner heart to the raw truths that it confesses to. Will you be offended by Lisa Weyerhaeuser's optimism? Will you find yourself regretting some of the things in you that have changed so much since your initial conversion? Or will you simply disregard this CD and move on to your next life-changing tattoo and exotic piercing?
"Into your World" is exactly what I am talking about. This song has the kind of storyline that makes a girl stop, motionless, and investigate her heart.
"Your Love is Greater" is joyful without morphing into praise music. "Somedays" is a charming song, lyrically, and is seeringly, openhandedly forthright. "The Compass" makes me wish for a childhood I never had.
I think Lisa's contribution is that she is a real woman and a real Christian. She's not a rock & roll girl with a coarse indifference. She has an open heart that hasn't been locked shut by her familiarity with the "ccm" scene. In fact, she has been a servant of other artists. She has run coffeehouses and helped friends make contact with concert promoters until she could be mistaken for a booking agent. She loves her children, serves at her church and is kind and patient with the different kinds of people who enter her world.
And that's what I think of Lisa's music and her newest CD. It has not bought in to the pop culture "edge". It lacks any connection to music that might be called "commercial". Lisa released an album years ago that was far too ahead of it's time, and there is nothing as unforgiving as being ahead of your time. 'Life on Earth' has the same problem- not because it is musically out of place but because Lisa's music simply declares the things that are good and pure and true, a place where I wish all contemporary Christian music would reside. ----------------------------------------------------
Lisa Weyerhaeuser combines a reflective musical spirit with a deep love of God to forge a fresh and original style. Her music is an outgrowth of her Christian walk and her life experiences. Her highly anticipated new CD, Life on Earth, expresses her thoughts on many subjects, from contemporary praise ("Your Love is Greater", "Seek and Find") to simple truths of reaching out to the overlooked in our society (Into Your World"). Each selection proclaims the fundamental truths of Christ's redemption impacting our fallen world.
Lisa began her musical sojourn with the release of her first recording, Close to Home, and toured as a solo artist at Churches, Coffeehouses and Bible camps throughout the Midwest and eventually in Europe. Her second project, Caught in Time, was engineered by Christian Music legend, Larry Norman. Most recently, the Lisa Weyerhaeuser Band has performed at the Cornerstone festival, Lifest, the Joyful Noise Music Festival, Fisherman's Fest, Rocketown, Cup of Joy, and has shared the stage with a variety of artists including Phil Keaggy, Cheri Keaggy, Larry Norman, Tammy Trent, Whitecross and Glenn Kaiser.
In her concerts, Lisa draws on her experience as a conference speaker, Christian counselor, college professor, pastor's wife, and mother of three boys to tie her songs to real-life struggles and triumphs for her audience. Lisa shares her songs in an honest Americana style of acoustic alternative folk music.
Lisa and her husband Dan, the senior pastor of Lakeland Evangelical Free Church live with their growing family in Gurnee, Illinois.
