Music reviews of Live From the House of Blues
Music Review: Maybe Live is not Lisa's Thing
Rating: 3 Stars
Lisa McClendon is back with a live album, Live from the House of Blues: New Orleans. This album was recorded in summer 2005 before Hurricane Katrina swept through the Gulf Coast and devastated the region.
I was really looking forward to this new offering from McClendon. I have her first two CDs: My Diary, Your Life and Soul Music. Both of them display the neo-soul genre at it's best. McClendon's earthy alto is calming, organic, and complete with earnestness.
However, I think Live is a step down from her previous efforts. The live instrumentation is soulful and jazzy, and she has some great background singers helping her out. But her songs sounded very much alike in key, melody, and mood. McClendon possesses an expressive, yet relaxed alto. Maybe a little too relaxed. I've noticed that those who sing alto have a tendency to go off key more often than not. There are times when McClendon strays off the notes, and instead of sounding endearing, it just gets on my nerves.
And just when I was about to cut her some slack, I got to the song, "Who Can Love You More," a song written especially for single adults who are frustrated with waiting on the "right one." Her exhortation to singles that God is still working on them (because they're too screwed up to be with another human being--not in those words, but you get the point) was well-meaning, but may come off sounding cliched and condescending. And apparently, she was married later in life than she expected, so she wants to share her experience and knowledge with others going through the same waiting game. However, just because God shows you reasons for why you are not married, doesn't mean it applies to every other single person-- but I digress.
Back to the music, "Made" is nice along with "About Your Love for Me" and "You Still Love Me" (which similar in theme and content to the same song on her debut album).
