Music Review below by Bob Anthony:

This LZ Love is going to put the town of Austin on the musical map as confirmed by her newest CD "My Higher Ground". She came from San Francisco and is playing the many venues in this dynamic musical capital city. Most of the early tunes on the CD have a driving rhythm and blues sound although Ms. Love manages to clarify the words for the listener. She put soul and passion into each selection and puts "hope icing on the cake". The other selections show her forte for gospel and jazz singing and her a capella "Trials" gives religious and inspirational magic. Her "Thank You" and "Trials" brings forth the wanderlust of a young lady who spent her teen years taking care of other sibs. The title cut "My Higher Ground" with its two step bounce is a predicter of this young lady's look towards the future in music. She is foremost with her chord jumps and vocal slides that most often are chilling but full of ethos of a young singer who will eventually make her mark in vocals...hopefully by this new CD. Ms. Love wrote or co-wrote all of her material.
