Continuing my list of best debut albums (with quite a few caveats)…
Liz Phair – Exile in Guyville (1993)
The album I most enjoyed revisiting for these posts was Liz Phair’s classic indie rock debut. I’ve long loved this record but giving it a spin for the first time in a long time reminded me of just how special it is.
The seeds of Exile in Guyville started on a trio of cassette tapes Phair recorded in her childhood bedroom using the name Girly-Sound. Eleven of Guyville‘s 18 tracks appeared on those lo-fi recordings, which were passed around in her native Chicago and led to her first contract.
