Lissie

My Wild West begins with an overture, by definition an “introduction to something more substantial”. In this case it is Lissie’s 3rd studio album and her most personal one to date, a fitting tribute to Lissie’s life in California, from her arrival as a fresh-faced singer-songwriter til now, leaving for the Midwest wiser and more self-assured. Bookended by the songs “Hollywood” and “Ojai”, it brings out the two extremes of the past decade – the dashed hopes and heartbreak of the former and the “stability, joy and peace” of the latter. My Wild West represents both a new beginning and a return to Lissie’s Midwestern roots.
