First Listen: Lisa Dietrich moves us with “Mountain”

lisadietrich-mountain

(September 7, 2022) When L.A.-based singer and songwriter Lisa Dietrich decided to deliver a cover of the great Barry White/Love Unlimited classic “Move Me No Mountain,” she determined to go all the way.

Lisa’s new version features an all-star cast of musicians that includes such notables as Chuckii Booker on bass, Hubert Laws on flute, and a number of A-listers that have worked with everyone from Earth, Wind & Fire to Beyonce to Michael Jackson.

The result is a cool, updated version that is relatively faithful to the original but with Lisa’s rich alto voice up front, introducing the criminally underappreciated song to a new generation of listeners.

Check out “Move Me No Mountain” below, and welcome Lisa Dietrich and her incredible band back to SoulTracks.
