Lisa Jackson EP
|
The
newest six-song, self-titled EP from Lisa Jackson & girl
friday is stark, powerful and provocative. It lacks studio glitz
and a perfect vocal performance, yet that may just be what gives
it such personality and edge. Lisa Jackson, a Fayetteville Georgia
native who has been tearing up the New York City underground, was
referred to as a “true rock n roll star” by actress Rosie
Perez in Page Six (New York Post) in recent months.
With
songs like “Night Lite of Jesus,” “Mess,” and “Don’t
Get Bitter,” the group reveals more of a frantic punk vibe than
on past efforts. However, they haven’t strayed far from their
pure rock roots and there is still plenty of rock mania present,
especially “I’m AOK,” which displays the bands precession
and energy and the power in Jackson’s big vocal pipes.
But more than just a powerful
voice, Lisa is a storyteller that weaves personal and intimate
themes to connect with listeners on a universal level. Lisa
Jackson & girl friday are more than a rock band; they are a
revolution. They make your body move and your mind think. And
though they are still a little rough around the edges, this is a
record worth buying, and a band worth following.
