Album Review: Lisse - Back To Forever

Benny Doyle

Back To Forever is another powerful statement from 30-year-old Lissie, the sandy blonde songwriter returning with a second slice of rockin' Americana pie.

Back To Forever is another powerful statement from 30-year-old Lissie, the sandy blonde songwriter returning with a second slice of rockin' Americana pie. Full of all the hooks radio demands, the album still manages to maintain things just left of the FM centre. Stevie Nicks is an obvious touchstone, with tracks like Further Away (Romance Police)and Sleepwalking recalling Fleetwood Mac at their most transcending, while the atmospheric side Lissie shows during Love In The City is welcomed. A couple of numbers, like I Don't Wanna Go To Work, are a bit hokey, but with Jacknife Lee producing the overall sound remains bold and bright.
