Reviews & Comments:

"... I am featuring two songs from the CD: Please Bless Me, and the title tune, Just the Way My Mama Made Me.  Thank you so much for the great songs."

John Davis
Heartfelt Music Program

"Lisa Stevens' songs reflect her own personal truths, wisdom and loving perspective on life. Her voice and songwriting are the embodiment of her own honesty, clarity and depth. There are songs on "Just The Way My Mama Made Me" that will touch listeners in very personal ways. Plus, Lisa is simply a joy to listen to. Though she is totally unique in her musical style, the contemporary folk scene can use a few more like her."     

Greg Trafidlo
 Kira Records and producer of Just the Way My Mama Made Me
"I find her singing very well placed - sweet with an edge of hardship that always tinges my favorite voices.  It's very expressive....    The clarity of the arrangements is also laudable -- simple and right.  I think it's lovely and moving -- and of the two, the second will hold focus longer.  I'll be spending more time with it, I know."

Scott Ainsle, blues musician extraordinaire and instructor at the Swannanoa Gathering

"Did you ever get caught off guard, 
By something so intensely compelling,
Something that breaks your heart
And mends your spirit at the same time?
Well, I have.
Whenever I listen to this music.
It's hard to fight back tears,
Tears of recognition
Of the pain and joy.
Music doesn't normally affect me this way.
My heart rises near the surface,
And I am thinking with my heart the rest of the week.
It is extraordinary."
