Solid Ground by Lisa Hunter

"I've been living fairy tales, I've been looking for the truth, I've been wanting something to define me. Eden wasn't what it seemed, even in my wildest dreams, I had to jump the ship, leave it behind me. Yeah, I had to go and find me..."
-from "Solid Ground" copyright 1996 swingsistersound

"Solid Ground is a fresh, provocative collection of songs of love, hurting relationships, and life's chances. You'll be singing along the second time through."
-Detroit Free Press

A debut album full of energy, spirit and insight. Lisa's soulful voice and acoustic guitar carry her listener through twelve thought-provokingly honest songs. Says PJ, an Ann Arbor record store owner, "Satisfied has a hook that will not leave your head. Moonlight is a little twisted love song that we have all experienced. Midnight Oil is one of the best talking folk tales I've ever heard. There is This Road for a taste of capella, and the beautiful Breathe for introspection." Backed by a roster of fine musicians and with a unique guitar-playing groove, Hunter's first album is as solid as its title suggests.

"...what makes Solid Ground a wonderful, if not classic work of entertainment, is the artist's sense of herself...it's a subtle seduction, and like all great pop music, you can't tell it's hit you until it's too late to resist."

Agenda Magazine

"There are some real poetic gems on this album...she has a real ability to weave a story and the poetry is sound and soulful."
