You're Just A Song On The Radio You're Just A Song On The Radio
A very catchy little barroom epiphany from Neil Kaposy. Lisa's layered harmonies ramp it up a couple of additional notches.
Did What I Could Do Did What I Could Do
A song about getting to a point where you stop throwing good money after bad, as it were. Lisa sings lead. Guest artist C. Alan Davis does a brooding fiddle part.
A Voice So Bright A Voice So Bright
A love song in disguise, which Michael managed to pass off as a gospel song for quite awhile. Lisa sings lead again.
Lady of the Prairie Lady of the Prairie
Lisa sings a cappella on Terry's haunting period piece. Michael heard her singing to recorded tracks (on headphones, which Michael couldn't hear), and knew that a cappella was the way to go.
She Still Misses Them She Still Misses Them
A wonderful, nearly cinematic Depression-era love story; the song is based on the real-life experience of Terry's mom. Sort of Grapes of Wrath with profound romantic longing.

"It's all in the song. This is what my friends have taught me. If life is too hurried and hectic to allow you the time to uncover the peace that can only be found by the turn of lyric or the lonely sound of a mandolin, you may be able to find it around midnight. Good things happen at that hour. This is what my friends have taught me."
"And there in the night, if you gather round, the soul will stir and the music will grow from out of the years you've known each other. If you can't sing well enough for one song, or if you need someone to lend a voice or a fiddle or a steel guitar, they'll find it. This is what my friends have taught me."
"These Midnight Rounders are willing to dream even if they have to do their dreamin' in the cobweb hours of the morning or on the edge of some early dawn. And the life that's in the song is there to be uncovered beneath the memories of joy, anger, laughter, tears, and all of those howling heartbreaks that seem to stay on us like a wild bronco rider."
"So, if you care to, sit down, have a cold one, say a prayer and have a listen to what my friends have taught me."

Damn, these folks are the shizzle...whatever happened to them, anyway?
All things must past, as the poet said.
