Editorial Reviews Her debut CD, "Right Now", produced in 1996 by veteran folk/rocker Jonathan Edwards, earned the titles "Artist of the Year" and "Record of the Year" by Maine Public Radio. "Right Now" went on to receive preliminary nominations for "Song of the Year", "Pop Female Vocal Performance", and "Pop Album of the Year" for the 40th annual Grammy Awards. A second CD, a solo acoustic EP entitled "Seven Solos" was released on McCormicks own Ruthies Noise label in 1998. McCormicks third CD, "Sacred", produced by Paul Antonell and John Platania, was released on the Ruthies Noise label in 1999. In 1997, Lisa took the Grand Prize in the MIXX Magazine Indie Band Contest, joined on stage by bassist Graham Maby (Joe Jackson, They Might Be Giants). In 1995, McCormick was selected to showcase at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Songwriter Showcase, sponsored by the National Academy of Popular Music. Other honors include a Fellowship Award in Music from the Vermont State Arts Council, recognition in the Billboard Magazine Songwriters Contest, and a 1999 nomination from Vermont Senator James Jeffords to be the one performing artist to represent her state on the Millennium Stage at Washington D.C.s venerable Kennedy Center. McCormicks single "Gravitate" was chosen by Performing Songwriter magazine for their "Best of the Year" CD, and also appeared in the soundtrack of the Lifetime Channels "Beyond Chance" program, hosted by Melissa Etheridge. Bostons New England Performer Magazine describes McCormick as "
an absolute genius. She is funny, sexy, smart, literate, sardonic, witty, and sings with all the power of a rock diva." In addition to her own performances, McCormick has been invited to open the show for numerous national artists, including Ani DiFranco, Aimee Mann, Jonathan Edwards, and Joan Armatrading. McCormick's elegant command of language, unforgettably intimate vocals, and fluid acoustic guitar combine with a smoky tenor sax and Latino percussion to create a seductive collection of love songs to love itself; deeply human, purely sensual, innocently spiritual. Produced by Julian McBrowne and Lisa McCormick, the music of Mystery Girl is sexy and emotional, personal and universal. For the listener who savors the finer points of love, Mystery Girl is not to be missed.

Tragedy of tragedies: Sun Records legend Roy Orbison passed away only a few weeks after issuing this sunny comeback in 1989. Rescued from the oldies also-ran circuit by his membership in the Traveling Wilburys--alongside fellow legends Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and ELO's Jeff Lynne--the Wayfaring One implemented these stellar pals and others on Mystery Girl and even allowed his son to compose some lyrics for him. Wonder of wonders: his angelic tenor rang true on every track and set the stage for what might've been a huge pop-culture renaissance. No need to fret about the "if only"s. One spin through the radio-chummy "You Got It," and the "Pretty Woman" legacy is crystal clear. We're lucky he was able to record it. --Tom LanhamCustomer Reviews:

Album Description
Percy Faith was the master of distilling the best of melodies and in this collection from 1958, Percy rescues us from the images that Victor Herbert melodies tend to evoke - the operetta, and the "erstwhile lady singing (belting out?) Herbert tunes at the piano." With this in mind, Percy's early stereo spectacular brings us the best of the Victor Herbert tunes - with the grand voice of the orchestra to bring out the beauty of each song - twenty-three Victor Herbert songs in this collection! (Bill Halvorsen)Album Description
Full Title - The Columbia Album Of Victor Herbert/And His Orchestra. Pianist Percy Faith, a pioneer of the Easy Listening genre, had a successful and lengthy career as the in-house conductor and arranger for Columbia Records. Faith was renowned for his musical interpretations of Broadway and motion picture music. These 2 albums on 1 CD were originally released in 1958. 23 tracks. 2003 Collectables reissue.Customer Reviews:

"music giants come together ~ Herbert & Faith".......2004-02-09
Two great giants in the music world Victor Herbert (1859-1924) and Percy Faith (1908-1976), brought together by Columbia Records and originally released in 1958 (C2S-801), received wonderful reviews from the music critics. This is an historic event for Faith fans, a double LP that has all the ingredients is now released on one single compact disc ~ with all the sonic clarity you could ask for.
Great job to all who were involved in bringing this to listeners of fine music ~ very impressive with all original liner notes and recording cues intact. This has to be in the top five of Faith's re-issues, keep them coming, cause there is an audience out there crying and craving more of the same...gotta love it!
