Have you been to the Chicken Shack?   
                                    
Sure ya have!   
                                                          

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 recipes and Lisa & Her kin have dedicated their newest release "Chicken Shack" to all those who frequent the neighborhood honky tonk juke joint lookin' for love,a cold beer and one more dance - not necessarily in that order! 
                                 

"If you like BR549, then you may like Lisa and Her Kin. Lisa Miller, together with Jon Lewis, LW McGrath Ian Miller and Doug Jones are based in America's rural Northwest, but went to Austin to record the album, which they've called "Two Weeks In Texas". It really is vintage sounding Country with that thumping rockabilly beat. Most of the songs are written by Lisa, although there are a couple we may recognize, like "Only Mama That'll Walk The Line", the female version of Waylon's classic.
There's a touch of Gospel in "Preaching To The Choir", Wanda Jackson style rockabilly on "Sugar Pop" and some neat steel on "Lucky Star". But I really liked "Ladies Night", a real beer-slurping honky-tonk song, complete with Floyd Cramer style keyboards and crying steel.
American so-called Country stations would never play this, which is a shame, because it's a lot more Country than the stuff they do play! If you like you Country raw & rootsy, this could be an album for you!"
- Stewart Fenwick, Country Music & Dance in Scotland

"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."
- Kim Colton Willamette Week

"Lisa Miller's tough-as-nails and sugar sweet tales of low class living and heavy heartache are a refreshingly un-concious and uncalculated diamond in the rough."
- Zach Dundas Willamette Week

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! She wrote most of the tunes....Fool's Gold is my favorite, but there are several fine tunes. They can rock too, as on "Sugar Pop".
- MB Blue Suede News Summer Issue 2003

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

This is a versatile band that has set itself the task on this album of performing in traditional tones.They have succeeded. They sing and rock with 'River Of Regret" and "Only Mama That''ll Walk The Line".....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, March 2003, Germany
