And yet she was surprised in 2003 with a pleasantly unpretentious debut album, surprisingly solid songwriting, an equally surprising anger and, above all, a strong voice recognition. The sequel to "To Whom It May Concern", "Now What", in 2005 came a little more rock and mainstreamiger but no less angry therefore.
For their third album, LMP has now left about seven years - and mature according sounds and earnings. "Storm & Grace" is less rocky, the songs are a mix of folk, blues, country and other southern sounds. Lisa Marie's songwriting is more mature, the anger seems not quite given way, but catalyzes the production - thanks to T-Bone Burnett - excellent, overall the album more of a piece than its predecessors.
However, this means that "Storm & Grace" seems a little too homogenous, during the first hearing a few songs stay in your head hang. It is a pity also that Miss Presley her powerful voice hardly exploits the majority of the songs is more breathy or whispered as sung. The fresh energy of the two predecessors is missing in places, with all the "Grace" is missing almost a bit of "Storm".
Nevertheless, "Storm & Grace" is highly recommended, already alone by allowing Lisa Marie notes the joy of music. Your late career as a musician is not a bored mood a billionaire heiress, and you can hear that.
Recommended is also definitely the deluxe edition of the album, because the four bonus tracks - again discussed, among other things "Sticks & Stones", in the LMP their inherited and thus involuntarily acquired celebrity status - interestingly, one of the strongest songs on the album include.
