How can anyone say it better, than Ms.Liza...from the CD "Lost and Found".  Unique voice, great open guitar tunings with a big sound, and some very powerful lyrics.  Another Austin-based gem. 

Ponder this, from the song, "Riverside" (you really need to hear the melody to have the full impact):

"We sleep so easily,

  Burn the oil like it's free,

  Watch the war on TV, with God on our side,

   We're stronger than them,

   Bomb, rebuild and defend,

   Lose it all in the end down by the riverside .

                                                                  "
