Lisa Lowell über “Beautiful Behavior”:

For two years now, Lisa has been working on a self-penned about to be released “record” (she still prefers to call them that). “Beautiful Behavior” is a group of compositions she was going to release on Gaff Music, the late Scott Beal’s label. She has recorded and is releasing it independently in the US and Europe. Her musicianly team boasts a spectacular cast of New York studio performers with:

- Lincoln Schleifer (Levon Helm): producer, on bass and multiple other instruments
- Joel Diamond (Aerosmith) keyboards
- Hugh McCracken (Everybody; Google him): guitar and harmonica
- Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan): mandolin
- Mark Shulman (Suzanne Vega)
- Bruce Springsteen guitar
- Adrian Harpham drums
- Soozie Tyrell (Springsteen) violin and backing vocals
- Patti Scialfa: backing vocals
- Bill Holloman Trumpet, Saxes

Lisa is also working on a self-scribed book of memoirs—working-title: “Voices in the Shadows”—about her life and times as a journeywoman back-up vocalist.
Throughout the ‘90s, Lisa was a regular at the Bottom Line, NYC and various concerts and shows as a “Busterier” background vocalist/dancer with New York Doll’s luminary David Johansen/aka Buster Poindexter’s “Banshees of Blue” and “Spanish Rocket Ship” bands. She co-arranged and appeared on his hit song “Hot, Hot, Hot” with cronies Patti and Soozie.

Die Presse schreibt:

Singer Lisa Lowell’s performing career has been most prominently featured behind innumerable artists: South Side Johnny, Buster Poindexter and Bruce Springsteen have all utilized her sultry resonant vocal talents as a background vocalist, territory Lowell claimed with authority and élan with pals Patti Scialfa and Soozie Tyrell. The three formed Trickster during their collective NYC residency in 1977, singing at Kenny’s and in the street, attracting significant attention in the nascent days of the corporate rock industry when A&R reps actually went out every night along Bleecker Street and listening to new and unsigned talent.

Lowell has released her first solo effort on her own Madame Boo Boo label, a collection of six well crafted songs with formidable assistance from her community of fellow performers – Trickster and Springsteen mates Scialfa (now Mrs. Springsteen in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years) and Tyrell are front and center with Scialfa contributing the BGV arrangements and Tyrell’s fiery violin lighting up the disk’s most dramatic and cinematic track, The Moon Borrows Light From the Sun.

Lowell’s first effort is an appealing one for the general boomer mindset, but especially in Springsteen circles where Lowell attracted a sturdy fan base from her most recent work with Bruce on the Seegar Sessions recording and subsequent world tour. This initial solo release has put her on the map at Sirius Satellite radio where she now frequently appears as a guest DJ.

Beautiful Behavior is definitely not just a “girl’s night out romp”, because it succeeds on many levels – especially considering the “guys” in the studio. Lowell’s writing and delivery are ably supported by album Producer and bassist Lincoln Schlieffer’s spare, rootsy approach. With support from a roster of the East Coast’s finest guitarists - Hugh McCracken and Marc Shulman as well as a cameo from Springsteen make the tracks sizzle with character and commitment from all concerned. The horn charts “pop”. These guys came to play.

Two up tempo tracks – The Big Odd and The Moulin Rouge should earn mainstream rock radio airplay, especially the latter New Orleans inflected romp that dares the listener not to let loose in the Big Easy.

Lowell’s lyric line is more narrative than formulaic pop couplets and the result is her writing lends itself to easy and empathetic absorption. Her lower register seduces the listener’s understanding of the composer’s vulnerabilities and prominently placed back ground vocals make the experience a remarkable vocal statement amidst the studio talent assembled for these six fluid and engaging tracks. Amidst a sea of computer generated releases, this project will no doubt appeal to a more organically inclined palette.

Two tracks - A Love So True and the closer Until You Come Undone, hark back to an earlier radio era most boomers will surely respond to and I cannot say enough about the vocal arrangements in place on these two songs. For the Love of God’s horn arrangement begs to be turned up on the iPod.

As a solo artist Lowell shows great strength and credibility. Her vocal style defies comparison; shadows of Tracy Nelson and Annie Lenox mix naturally with an exuberant gospel inflected delivery. Her strength as a leader is self evident and the self assured support of her studio players begs to see what Lisa could do to her own audience on a Saturday night in a suitable venue somewhere between Asbury Park and New Orleans.
