A album full of southern soulful inspired Blues, New Orleans Jazz and Rootsy Gospel. Stunning vocals, reminiscent of the staple singers, poignant and often witty lyrics and a memphis style brass section.

This triple Chain award winner has been described as having a Hell of a voice, ranging from the depths of Etta James to the highs of Aretha, and the groove of Mavis Staples.

Her last album Mercy Train topped the charts in Australia and the U.S. and was in the top 20 favourite artists on the U.S. roots charts for 2019 and 2020.

With a slightly“Burlesque feel, Liza weaves her stories and emotions into her unique style of uplifting Southern style music - Soul drenched Blues and New Orleans Jazz grooves with a generous lashing of Gospel!!

Audiences are transfixed with her passion, her extraordinary range, earthy scatting and her striking performances, as shown when she was chosen to star in the theatre rockumentary Pearl – the Janis Joplin Story which she toured Australia with for 3 years to packed theatres, venues and festivals - the only show to be given approval by Janis's estate!

Her band features Rick Melick (Joe Bonamassa) Eric Rasmussen (Heatwave) Mick Malouf (Gen Chadwick, Frank Sultana) and Greg Ohlback (Julian Lennon) plus the cream of Australias musicians.

After many years in the music industry and 2 very successful CD’s and - “Mercy Train” is the new album for Triple Chain award winner Liza Ohlback - distinctly drawing from her Blues, Jazz and Gospel background with the Spirit of the great Southern singers like Mavis Staples, Etta James, Tony Joe White and even Aretha Franklin. Liza’s voice is drenched with Blues - Soulful and passionate with a stunning range and she gives it all till the last drop…..

Blues Grooves laced with Funky Wah Wah Guitar, swirling Organ, stride piano and earthy scatting, just like the 1940’s New Orleans/Jazz sound. Also a good splattering of Memphis sty;e Brass and tantalizing Gospel Harmonies inspired by the Staple singers and Blind boys of Alabama, and from her own memories of singing in her mothers Gospel vocal group when very young….

Like in her other albums Liza lets you in her personal life and brings you to tears one moment and laughter the next - she gives all and then some.. like a true 1940’s Torch singer… Liza’s husband Greg (Producer of the year Chain Awards 2013) engineered and co-produced the album, produced the artwork and played Drums and percussion.

This a truly uplifting album full of surprises and some incredible talent from artists such as Clayton Doley and Rick Melick ( Jo Bonamassa) who co-wrote and arranged some of the tunes.
