When I’m finally introduced to the folk singer, I make a sympathetic remark about how hard it seems to be back in the saddle again. Loeb looks at me sharply behind her signature geek glasses and responds, “Back? I never stopped.”
And in truth, she hasn’t. When her label sent me her new greatest hits compilation The Very Best of Lisa Loeb, I was surprised to discover that the majority of the songs on the album had been recorded subsequent to the 1994 release of Reality Bites. Long after “Stay (I Missed You),” her first hit single, surprised the nation by being number one on the pop charts (without even the support of a label), Loeb continued touring, recording and hair spraying all the while. Who knew?
