Her second album proved her as a very successful songwriter. The album ‘Now What’ featured Lisa as co-writer on ten of its 12 songs. It was released in the spring of 2005. This time too, her album reached the Billboard Top Ten album chart. Her third effort came a little late in the spring of 2012. It was produced by T-Bone Burnett and was called ‘Storm & Grace’. She also has deut versions of some of her father’s songs.
In recent years, she was more active in her career. She’s had her share of hardships and filed for divorce from her fourth husband in 2018. She had also released her EP ‘Live From the King’s Room’ last year.
