Lisa Dudley has a passionate following of soldiers and veterans. Perhaps a signature song that best identifies who she is would be "Angel On My Shoulder" which is her most requested song. "The soldiers adore this song," she says, "because they say that's how they survived in battle!" |
Her loyal
following of fans love to hear her sing the songs
that celebrate life, love and loss including an
inspirational collection of "soft
gospel". Songs like "Praise God for
The Rain", "Use Me In A Mighty
Way", and "I Will Rise Up
Singing" have become standards in
churches where she plays.
With
songs like "Twenty-One Guns","Broken
Purple Heart", and "You Do The
Job Right", the men in her audience -
from soldiers to senators - get a feeling of
empathy and appreciation seldom enjoyed in their
own lives.
The
women in the audience also appreciate songs like "She
Bought Your Love","Gotta Cut You
Loose", and "Dangerous Curves" - a boot-stomping song about the power of a woman's body -
which gives them the
feeling that someone understands what's important
to them too.
Her latest release, "Twenty-One Guns" actually celebrates the military funeral of a fallen soldier. "We respectfully rejoice in the life of someone so brave he would give his life for freedon," says Dudley. "I am awed by these servicemen and women."
Lisa Dudley is the daughter of two veterans who served during the Korean conflict. "I was born at a naval hospital," she says. "My mother and my father were both in the Army at the time. That must be why I write so many patriotic songs!"
Her melodies evokes the sweet simplicity of a gentler time
matched with lyrics that reflect the strong
sentiment of today's world.
Her
voice ranges from deep and throaty to soft and
ethereal. She currently has a
catalog of over a 100 songs.
