Press Reviews "Lisa Bourne soars in Bluehipnotik…Insinuating one minute, down-and-dirty the next then breaking free to ascend into realms of blues-drenched ecstasy." …David Whiteis, Living Blues magazine (from liner notes) …Bluehipnotik makes for a nicely varied set from a fine singer…Jon Taylor, Blues in Britain Equipped with a hot and strong voice, Lisa Bourne rewards us an album without any swagger. It is authentic and her talent is pure. Bluehipnotik gets 5 stars!...Danny Louis Garcon, Soul Bag, Paris France "(Lisa) Bourne will continue to mature as a singer with experience and Bluehipnotik is a good start…Bill Mitchell-- President of the Phoenix Blues Society…Blues Bytes April 2002 "Lisa Bourne’s Bluehipnotik is a sassy no-nonsense Bluesy soul delivery from a very talented Louisiana Woman. Keep an eye out for this young lady…"Rockin Ralph, Oldies Unlimited, KHDC-FM 90.9, Salinas, CA "Lisa has a deepish, powerful, and expressive voice…no higher recommendation can be given…JSP has discovered another promising artist and set her on the way…." Paul Harris Blues & Rhythm, London, England "This is a good blues album and as a debut album, is startling. You get the feeling that both Lisa and her band have been waiting for years to let loose, and its that sense of edge and urgency, yet finesse that make this a 'must buy' Blues album."...Don Carroll, The Inside Track "This is an auspicious debut by a talented newcomer."...Blues Revue August/September 2002
