"LZ and Phoenix met while both were singing in the Glide Ensemble. Not surprisingly, there is a righteous quality to songs such as 'Lift Me Up' from the group's just-released second CD 'Standing Wide-Legged And Proud'. But this ain't church. It's good time soul music with all the winking insinuation and infectious self-esteem the style implies. This is the gospel according to Ms. Love".

- James Sullivan, The San Francisco Chronicle

" Vocalist LZ Love Has One of the Great Soul Voices of our time, mesmerizing in its depth, harrowing in its power. Along with her partner vocalist, percussionist Phoenix, Their unique approach to Modern R&B mixes the best of soul's golgen era with '03's sophistication. With superb backing musicians and twelve original compelling songs, this Cd is a stone joy, Hotter than a match head, sure'nuff indy classic. That's my first huge tip for the new year!

Darlings of the City's blues scene LZPhoenix says "people nowadays are looking for something more than the big labels and their contrived bubblegum pop acts can deliver -they want some music with some meat on it". And LZPhoenix has got it.
