"How can you pass up hourly rates like this?? They don't come any funnier -- or more sincere, compassionate, or topical than Austin's most beloved practitioners of musical mental health. Lisa Rogers and Maurine McLean are incredibly creative -- both musically and lyrically. I have never seen them perform when there wasn't a roomful of smiles at the end of the evening. Touching upon items in the news, the state of the world, realtions between family members, and the basic need for love and dignity among humans, their songs elicit gentle smiles, tears, belly laughs and genuine epiphanies. No human need is left out -- and no public figure is safe from their gaze.The songs on this, their latest recording, are all first-rate -- as is the case with all of their audio offerings. 'Work like you don't need the money' could be their anthem -- if they didn't have so many other intelligent, heartfelt songs that also fit the bill. Another standout here is Lisa Rogers' 'I need a stalker' -- recipient of a 1st-place songwriting award at the South Florida Folk Festival.Great songs for grey OR sunny days -- we can all use therapy like this as often as we can get it. Remember -- with plenty of Therapy Siisters cds in your collection, the doctors are always 'in'. [And for those of you who prefer 'group therapy' -- keep an eye out for this talented duo appearing in your town. They're not to be missed!]"
