Hey, look! I accidentally took a kinda cool photo! Anyway, on with the show...
I'm not sure if Lissie is a blues singer disguised as a pop star or a rocker who is really a country crooner, maybe all of the above but one thing's for sure she has one hell of a voice. I don't know if her recorded work even really captures this fact but live it is something to behold. It's true too that she sounds a little like Stevie Nicks, although that's not the reason why I like her. On stage she looks like a female Bruce Springsteen, all white t-shirts and jeans and tanned skin, very American, but it's clear she isn't trying to be anybody except herself. Look at her recent release, an EP called Cryin' To You that features covers of artists as diverse as Danzig, One Direction, Drake and Bob Dylan, yet every one sounds uniquely her.
