TAILS
Tails is an album by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories, released in 1995 by Geffen Records. The album was well received by the public, as it was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 1, 1995. Critics were also favorable to the album, with Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly, in particular, noting that “Loeb has an undeniable gift for creating an air of intimacy and vulnerability, which may well be enough for ‘Stay’ fans looking for additional doses of contemplative melancholy”. “It’s Over”, “Snow Day”, “Do You Sleep?”, and “Hurricane” originally appeared on her previous studio album Purple Tape.

Nearly all rock bands start out as local bands; hardly any musicians just burst on the scene out of the blue. There are music scouts everywhere (amateur and professional), and anyone with any talent at all is usually under contract before any records come out. Lisa Loeb is still the only recording artist to have a #1 song, “Stay (I Missed You)” (1994) before being signed to a recording contract; the song was part of the soundtrack for the film Reality Bites. She is a major talent, and I have her first three albums: Tails (actually by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories), Firecracker and Cake and Pie.
