Bio / Background
Here's what NYRock.com has said about this CD: "Yep, they're back, and they still have a hip cool sound. Laura Fay Lewis can play guitar, but more important, it's what she does with the vocals that really directs the band. Oh, she's easy on the eyes too (check the photos page of their website), but that's secondary. As with the band's previous release, the guitar work of Michael Aguirre balances out her voice, complementing it, taking off for solos, providing an easy accompaniment. The songs are not your typical 1-4-5 progressions; there is a bit more at play here, and that works to both Aguirre's and Lewis's advantage. When the structure of the songs is freed up, the pair can examine the numbers, and then improvise. The Blisstones still seem to have just a shade of cowboy cool, as on "Been There," which, though predominantly piano, feels to me like it could be sung on the lonesome prairie. The vibe is laid back, like some old Chris Isaak numbers, sans a guitar drenched in reverb.
