Lisa Dames is neither timid nor cold. She is a sassy, sexy wife and mother set to make her mark on country music. On Dames’ new album, No One Like Me, she explores her songs from the inside out, investing each one with a sense of urgency ripped from her own life – a life that could have been inconsequential in someone else’s hands.

Since 1987 Ezra Charles and the Works had been subtly infusing the concept "Houston's Band" into the city's consciousness without ever mentioning it by name. At the 2003 Thanksgiving Day Parade, the CBS affiliate television broadcast anchor Greg Hurst officially bestowed this title on them to a million viewers. "Darn appropriate," proclaimed a fan the next day. With their own sound and repertoire, this band lays down a rockin' groove that defies simple descriptions, but is firmly rooted in every type of music that ever came out of this part of Texas: Boogie-Woogie, Swing, Rockabilly and Blues. Famous for having girls in the horn section and flashy piano antics, Ezra has never had his songs be the first thing the audience noticed, but ultimately the songs are the reason for the band's remarkable staying power.
