FIRECRACKER

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.
