Lisa's Song + 6 Songs is the debut recording of Canadian singer-songwriter Allison Crowe. The tracks were recorded live-off-the-floor in two separate sessions. The first tracks were captured on an afternoon in July 2001, while Crowe was travelling to Seattle, Washington to perform concerts for fans of Pearl Jam at the Worldwide Jammer Convergence. The final session, in April 2003, was to add the title song for Lisa Marie Young, a high-school friend of Crowe who disappeared in 2002 under suspicious circumstances.
