The "hiss" in Hisstory refers to the fact that the comp's tracks, by and large, were transferred from cassette to CD (hence, tape "hiss"), with high-quality results, thanks to an excellent engineer and a kickass computer.

GLENBURN
This collaboration between Lori and longtime pal Jay Orff resulted in an absolute gem of a CD. Glenburn features ten beautiful songs about hard work and warm nights on the vast prairies of our close midwestern neighbor.

Jay says: "North Dakota can be a big empty place ... It's not a place you hear a lot of songs about (maybe a few cowboy songs or something like 'Wichita Lineman'). Here's a few for the catalog."

Hailed as “Stellar” by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and "A wonderfully produced collection of sterling pop nuggets" by the St. Paul Pioneer Press-PioneerPlanet, Safely Crass showcases the singing and songwriting of one of the Twin Cities’ most endearing and enduring talents.

The ten songs on Safely Crass range from thoughtful acoustic musings to alt-country ballads to almost straightforward rock & roll, and the disc culminates in a strange-but-true tale of Lori’s mom and a certain fading Hollywood legend.

Other Recordings
In addition to the previously-mentioned discs (and a smattering of cassettes & singles), you can find Lori on recordings such as: the Mike Merz CDs The Odd Side of the Street and Merzworld; a 1999 compilation of Twin Cities music titled Do You Know The Secret Trousers?; and recent recordings by midwestern pop legend Todd Newman.
