Her current band is "Lizzie & Baba".
Her debut album, Holy Road: Freedom Songs, was released in 2003 on Warner Bros. Records.
It had to have been the album of 2003.
I know I'm still playing it.
This album earned her the title of Breaker Artist of the Year by both AOL and Entertainment Weekly.
It was recorded with her former band, the Gangs of Kosmos.
I know there was an EP last year Thank You for Giving Us... released under Lizzie & Baba.
But Lizzie we really need a new album, pretty please.
Meantime here's some of the previous magic to keep us going.
