Lisa O'Kane - It Don't Hurt

New Lisa O'Kane CD, 'IT DON'T HURT'
North America Release October 23

Americana/Roots artist Lisa O'Kane explores the "dark end of the street" on her most intimate album to date, IT DON'T HURT, for New Light Entertainment /Universal. Recorded in Los Angeles over the past two years, the 11-song collection highlights the contrasts in the personal life of the California native. Her upbeat personality allows her to tackle the hard stuff, and still come out on top. The disc hits store shelves across North America on October 23. While the title track explores the sobering subject of physical abuse - O'Kane manages to navigate the listener down that rocky road, and back into the light, with perfect emotional tuning. The path to independence is explored in the stunning practicality of "Got The Car Running," the story of a woman who is waiting only on the inevitable. A Telecaster-wielding Albert Lee joins Kenny Edwards (Stone Poneys/Bryndle); legendary keyboardist Skip Edwards (Dwight Yoakam/Lucinda Williams/Jim Lauderdale), bassist extraordinaire, Taras Prodaniuk (Yoakam/Lucinda Williams) and Emmy Award-winning composer Ernest Troost to bring the music to life - and lay bare the heart and soul of O'Kane. "There's something very challenging about surrounding yourself with players of this quality," says Lisa. "They really made me dig deep."

IT DON'T HURT is Lisa's first direct foray into the North American marketplace. Already a high-powered player in the international scene, O'Kane hopes that this album will help her find her place "at home."
