Have you been to the Chicken Shack?

It's where the music is served up hot and greasy, just like the crowd.
It's where the beer line is as long as the line to the ladies room and the smell of fried chicken and pomade is in the air.
There's a chicken shack in every town that offers up some down home entertainment along with their down home recipies and Lisa & Her Kin are dedicating "Chicken Shack" to all those who frequent the neighborhood honky tonk juke joint lookin' for love, a cold beer and one more dance-not nescessarily in that order.

A few Press quotes:
" It really is vintage sounding Country with that thumping rockabilly beat."
- Stewart Fenwick, Country Music & Dance inScotland

Lisa has a kind of rough and tumble voice, and style that is straight country/honky tonk.
We all know there's not enough of it around any more!
- MB Blue Suede News MagazineBl

This band can whip out bluesy country-tonk with a powerful amount of soul.
They lay down some hot licks and give us dance hall music so real you can smell the beer and cigarettes."
- Kathy Coleman Take Country Back http://www.takecountryback.com

This is a versatile band that has set itself the task of performing in traditional tones.They have succeeded. Always in the foreground are the traditional country sounds of steel guitar, honky tonk piano
and naturally Lisa's prominant, somewhat smokey and dark voice....
Altogether we hear one first-rate mixture of lively and tranquil traditional country ballads.For fans of the tradition it's an absolute must!
- Iris Paech Western Mail Magazine:Specialist magazine for Country and Western Culture,

"Honky-tonk reliables Lisa and Her Kin play music that's often as sad and lonesome in subject matter as it is earnest in conviction. Theirs is the kind of simple, country music--all steel guitars, fiddles and Lisa's rough,
twangy vocals--that recalls a time when the home was on the range and Will Rogers and Henry Fonda were kings."
