Lisa Baker

"Song For A New Day"

The Story
For her 2003 CD "Song For A New Day", guitarist Lisa Baker surrounded herself with some of the top musicians in the Nashville area. She co-wrote many of the tunes with her guitar teacher and mentor, Regi Wooten. Regi was instrumental in Lisa's development as a fast playing, sweep picking soloist. For his part, Regi contributed some bass tracks - on the disc as well, Joseph Wooten on keyboards and Victor Wooten on bass. With musical influences ranging from Wes Montgomery to Jimi Hendrix, "Song For A New Day" offers a fusion of styles. "Night Ride" and "Home" combines Lisa's smooth jazz vocals with shredding guitars. Her haunting background vocals weave in and out of other tunes such as her only cover tune, Freddi Hubbard's "Little Sunflower." For the CD's finale, Lisa recorded her jam buddies for a hooky, high-energy track. "Jam@Lisa's" includes shredding from nashville hotshots Joseph Wooten, Adam Charney, Rocky Ganglani, Shane Roberts, Eric Vogel, Robert Provine, Johnathan Estes and Jeffrey Scott Wills. Lisa concludes with her own screaming, distorted improv. It's an ending that embodies lisa's own philosophy, "Surround yourself with great people and you'll elevate yourself to that level."
