Lisa Cuthbert - Obstacles - 2010 - MIS 104

Offering lush female singer-songwriter music with a Celtic twist, Dublin's Lisa Cuthbert has created one of the most stunning, introspective and powerful debut solo albums this side of the millenium. Pianist/vocalist Lisa's lyrics and arrangements display an intelligence far beyond her years ...
10 self-penned tracks lyrically explore life's barriers whilst musically morphing from the pop-folk sensibilities of 'Ready To Unfold' to the heady dramatics of 'Storm Coming On', with the spirit of the late Sandy Denny posessing the vocals of the former track. 'Obstacles' should, in time, stand alongside 'The Kick Inside' and 'Little Earthquakes'. Featuring a bonus live rendition of Anathema's 'Fragile Dreams'
