Dr. John co-arranges two and plays on six... "It was a good chance for me to do something unique and musically everything's there. What I like is that she doesn't think like most singer-songwriters think, she often approaches stuff from left field, and that drives my creative flow as well. Lisa's emergence will give audiences a chance to discover something very fresh." TOP 12 INDIE PICKS Winter 2005 Independent Songwriter Web-Magazine "Coupled up with New Orleans the legendery Dr. John, Lisa Karp sings her way to the top of the vocal jazz-blues scene. Her voice is sultry deep and sexy with a smoky feel. It is backed up by great upright bass and light drums and gorgeous piano. You feel her pain on every note and will shed a tear for such a tormented soul who pours her heart and brain onto these contemporary compositions fit for the bravest and hippest club." EDITOR'S CHOICE, Smother.net "Lisa Karp's unique style will have you captivated...for this sophisticated album...Karp is hot and laid back all in one package. Everything's Broken, a duet with Dr. John, is probably the highlight of the album...I can't get enough of this." Netrhythms.com "An engaging set...tempered with a healthy dose of irony....sultry jazz with an underworld slant." Subba Cultcha.com "Lisa's provocative vocal delivery and introspective lyrics have a way of fusing with your own reminisces and daydreams- making this CD a very personal musical journey. The pairing with Dr. John is a comfortable fit- like sipping a glass of whiskey neat while lounging on the patio as the sun slips below the horizon." Black Jack Ketchum, WRFG, Atlanta "Very cool songs- very original." Rita Housten, Music Director WFUV, NYC "Spectacular."
