Ya les había comentado que esta artista de Illinois viene subiendo firmemente en los listados de radio Triple A en EE.UU. y el Reino Unido. Uno esperaría que con ese ritmo ya le hubieran caído encima hijuemil managers tratando de sacarle partido al asunto, con asesores de imágen a bordo y toda la vaina. Tal parece que Lissie Maurus no quiere ser parte de ese circo mediático, por eso evita el maquillaje y los adornos, permitiendo que su música sea la protagonista. Como muestra les dejo un par de videos de su sesión en Luxury Wafers [...]
Lissie Maurus, from Rock Island, Illinois, sings like the coal miner's daughter with bubblegum-sweet edges. Picture Loretta Lynn with organic munchies and a designer dog. Comfy country flannel paired with a shiny pedicure. Lissie can do it any way she wants. Remarkably unselfconscious and naturally beautiful with a black gold voice of fertile southern dirt, Lissie - relevant and au courant - is an earthy creature from a non-planetary zip code and alternate dimension. Lissie is not cliche´. Pieces wild hellion and wide-eyed girl, Lissie impresses as a gal you'd find down by the stream in her Sunday best, happily [...]
[Buzz Bands lite again today. I'm on an island somewhere.] Friday's night's Tribute to Neil Young (mounted by When You Awake ) drew a great crowd to the Bootleg Theatre, and there were some sterling takes on Young's catalog too — none that I enjoyed more than when Leslie Stevens of Leslie & the Badgers , fronting an all-star band, performed "Heart of Gold," "Helpless" and "Down by the River" consecutively. Sweet. She leads her own band to stage back at the Bootleg Theater tonight in support of [...]

Arresting, intense folk-rock Americana Lissie Maurus is a folk-rock singer from the southwest Illinois border town of Rock Island. Although there's a rustic Midwestern edge to her Americana, her transplantation to Los Angeles, and national and international gigs have elevated her music beyond coffee-house strumming. Her voice pulls you in close with confessional introductions and then attacks with arresting outbursts of emotion. The exclamation of "danger will follow me now everywhere I go, angels will fall on me and take me to my home" finds her bending back from the microphone to make room [...]

If you're one of the 42 million people that have fallen in love with our recent Hotbox at the Levi's/FADER Fort video series, it's possible you've forgotten (or never knew) that we used to film bands letting loose in front of our fireplace, too. We did. And yes, have a website and a fireplace. In Manhattan. Lissie , recent Fat Possum signee and acquirer of our tender hearts, rambled on by last week before playing a Mercury Lounge show the very same night. She's a little bit Loretta Lynn, a little bit Veronica Bennett, but [...]

[mp3] Lissie: "Everywhere I Go" Photo by Karp At the risk of overkill on the Lissie front, we're posting her new mp3 "Everywhere I Go" which is Spinner's free mp3 of the day. Her EP "Why You Runnin'" is also streaming there now . Keep your eyes open for a Stark Q&A with Lissie coming up next week.
Lissie - Wedding Bells (Hank Williams cover) Maybe it's due to the fact I'm a sucker for reverb, but I'm pretty sure it's the combination of Lissie's beautiful voice and the reverb is the reason I'm so in love with this song. I'm going to be a tad disappointed if this song doesn't make it to the Copy Cats tumblr because this is so lovely. This awesome, awesome cover of Hank Williams comes off a newly released 5-song EP called Why You Runnin' , which can pick up the MP3 album over at [...]
Lissie - Why You Runnin' As introductions to a new artist go, the debut from Lissie Maurus, is a pretty promising one. Blessed with the pipes of her barbershop quartet champion grandfather, and the vagabond spirit of her train jumping great-grandfather, this Rock Island, IL native has unveiled a stellar EP that is sure to turn heads. With an assist from Band Of Horses' Bill Reynolds and Tyler James, she sounds like a more homespun version of Neko Case, while the production invites comparisons to Emmylou Harris' [...]

Today marks the release of Lissie's debut EP Why You Runnin' on Fat Possum Records. Lissie has a voice of timeless quality fitted to bluesy Americana music produced by Bill Reynolds of Band of Horses. The first single, "Little Lovin'" introduces a country-inflected vocal with a bluesy guitar riff and weeping pedal steel that steadily builds with ringing guitar and heavy-handed piano to a stomping, clapping and wailing dust-up to end the song with Southern charm. "Wedding Bells" is a visceral cover of a little known Hank Williams, Sr. song with haunting background vocals. The piano [...]
Not a ton of exciting releases this week apparently. NPR has the upcoming Norah Jones, 'The Fall'. Of course they do. AOL/Spinner is streaming the following new releases through Sunday, November 15: • Kris Allen, 'Kris Allen' (Jive) - EXCLUSIVE,...
DOWNLOAD: Lissie - Little Lovin' (MP3) Lissie Maurus is a singer/songwriter in the old-school tradition of Rosanne Cash and Nanci Griffth. Similar to these artists, Lissie's songs are fully developed narrative stories of love, loss and heartbreak. Lissie's debut EP, "Why You Runnin'", is out Tuesday (on Fat Possum) and she is taking a break from the Ray LaMontagne tour to play an early show at the Mercury Lounge this Monday. Doors are at 7PM and supposedly the opening act, Aerial East [...]
Lissie Maurus, who got kicked out of high school. "She lives by herself, with her dog, in a farmhouse in Ojai, Calif., where she tends to drink wine and will, on a whim, go to the store to buy paint for her rocks so she can construct a medicine wheel in her big backyard." [ Daytrotter ] Um, yes please. Lissie Maurus came from Rock Island, Ill., then lived in L.A. for awhile, which may have helped get the ball rolling on her career. There she met Lenny Kravitz, was the vocalist [...]
Lissie "Why You Runnin'" ( Fat Possum , Nov. 10th) "little lovin'" A rural warmth and southern strength radiate on a tender little track. "wedding bells" Lissie is somewhere between Patsy Cline & M. Ward. She is clearly wise beyond her years. "oh mississippi" A traditional tale and gospel hymn that really capture the power of the river. "everywhere I go" She brings the pace and texture of the South to the world and helps us slow and reflect. "here before" This is the time to change [...]
[As a public service, and in the interest of knowing your Lissys from your Lissies:] Lissie Maurus, who performs as Lissie , makes the kind of big-hearted Americana that springs from the loam of this country's midsection — in her case, Rock Island, Ill. Her debut EP, "Why You Runnin'" is out next week on Fat Possum Records, and the songs were recorded at her new home, a farmhouse near Ojai, and with Band of Horses' Bill Reynolds in Asheville, N.C.
