Poetic, powerful, original. Flying is a peek into the heart and mind of a woman following her dream. Twelve songs, ranging from full band tunes to intimate acoustic ballads, highlight Lisa's wise-beyond-her-years lyrics, catchy melodies, and gritty soulful voice. Lisa's roots stem from the acoustic folk world, but this album proves she can also rock with the best of them. Flying is a charismatic blend of acoustic instruments with electric guitars and a tight backup rhythm section. With a a spark like that of Ani DiFranco, the intimacy of Sarah MacLachlan, and a voice that has been compared to the diverse sounds of Suzanne Vega, Tori Amos, and Alannis Morisette, Lisa's new album Flying with not only move your body, it will move your soul. |

"...but
I made a pact when times were bad; I said I'd never
let you take all that I had; And I've come full
circle so the lightening and the thunder are in my
hands" |

"Lisa
Hunter paints her folk with splotches of funk...her
second disc bristles with staccato guitar work and
engaging hooks, making for an infectious groove
that doesn't quit. You may find yourself compelled
to name-check Anik DiFranco and Shawn Colvin, an
odd matchup to be sure, but a telling indicator of
Hunter's own quirky artistry." |

"It's
words being caressed by wonderful harmonies and
melodies, and it's just good music." |
