Bill Erickson thumbnail
Bill Erickson Lisa is keeping the women of soul/R&B/Blues alive and well in this modern age with her covers, and more so in her own original work. Having seen her multiple times around Austin when I'm on work gigs in the area, and ALL of her music on my playlists - she's a multiple daily dose of funky love and feeling. If you haven't seen her play the "Blonde" in a live setting, you need to fly to Austin when she is playing, such a GIANT voice in such a tiny body. Favorite track: High ON Her Perch.

V1- Oh, burnt out paper, getting high from the wine Oh yea sooner or later you got to step on, leave it behind Ch- Oh my friend I see you Through the dust and life’s disguise Oh yea and sooner or later, your strength gonna rise And just let you be V2- Oh to carry, such a heavy load Trying so hard not to be buried, yes your spirit has taken it’s blows Ch- Oh my friend I see you Through the dust and life’s disguise Oh yea and sooner or later, your strengths gonna rise And just let you be Bridge- Oh don’t ever, forget That you belong Come on lay down your burdens Lay ‘em down Ch. out-

V1- You got me under your quaint little spell you sure can tell Roll roll like thunder, across the dream, across the dream Don’t hide yourself away Chorus- High on her perch, A woman of love is at work
If her stare don’t make you back down,
she’ll give you a worm from her ground, give you a worm from her ground V2- You got me going. Follow which way to the sky? Follow down, follow ‘round
Any way is quite alright, any way it’s quite alright, Don’t hide yourself away Chorus Time change: In the years that go by so fast
You know she gave you a love to last, yes she did, she did But oh from high on her perch she looked down on you she gave to you She gave, but now she’s gone, she’s gone away, she’s gone away 
You know sometimes, sometimes life just brings on too much, too much
But you got no choice you might as well just face up try, try, try Let those little things just roll on by
You have to, oh but then she gets down on her knees and ask for it to stop just for one, just for one, one minute you see
Well there’s too much pain, there’s so much, So much to share, so much to share, with a gust and mighty wind some day you will be free a bird on her perch, A bird on her perch is a woman at work

about

"Lisa Marshall from Texas stuffs her retro-soul-folk-funk blues with the surprisingly witty feminist texts. We wish we heard more songs of protest and freedom with such a perfect and even sophisticated musical accompaniment."- yep.today

Songs I wrote in honor of women and equality for women.
Don't Give up is about inspiring hope always reaching for it and remembering that we are so much more than what we see.
Sooner or Later is a love letter to the women in my life who have endured molestation, abuse and rape.
High On Her Perch- a psychedelic soul/rock song about feminism and the power that belongs to women.
I Bet It's The Same- a Staple Singers inspired song to all of us reminding that we all do bleed the same fucking color. I know we're the same!
The Best Is Yet to Come is inspired by the social Soul songs of the late 60's and early 70's. The musical arrangement is inspired and borrowed from the great Isaac Hayes with the words from this lesbian.
The best is Yet To Come.

“I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks”-Sarah Grimké

I also want to acknowledge with appreciation all of you fabulous allies!

❤️✌🏼☺️
