An instant classic, the album was an astonishing blend of slick guitar rock, artsy lo-fi, folk, and pop, fueled by Phair's assured, confident, daring, profane, and endlessly witty lyrics. Phair, who hailed from suburban Chicago, sang in a charmingly flat, cracking voice, about "standing 6'1" when I'm 5'2''", roommates who left "suspicious stains in the sink", shallow young men ("Soap Star Joe"), and horny young women ("Flower"). The album's title was a blend of The Rolling Stones' classic Exile on Main Street album, and the song "Goodbye to Guyville", by fellow Chicago rockers Urge Overkill, and it was the perfect title, as Phair, all 5'2" of her, broke loose from the "Guyville" of the Chicago rock scene, leaving all the hard rock dudes in her wake. Her claim that the record was a song-by-song response to Exile on Main Street , while not entirely true, was a self-promotional masterstroke, and as a result, the press started to take notice. Like an early '90s Patti Smith, Phair's candor and in-your-face stance was a breath of fresh air, as she won thousands of new fans, women and men alike.

Primedia Business Liz Phair By Chris J. Walker Nov 1, 2003 12:00 PM E-mail this article The mid- to late '90s saw a blossoming movement of young female singer/songwriters, who mostly sang sweet, introspective songs of loves won and lost. One artist who stood apart from the pack, though, was Chicago-based Liz Phair, who always had a harder, indie-rock sensibility that was in stark contrast with the top sellers of that era, such as Sarah McLachlan, Paula Cole and Sheryl Crow, but never showed the aggressive tendencies of Courtney Love, PJ Harvey or Juliana Hatfield. Instead, Phair was closer in artistic temperament to early Beck: acerbic and coolly humorous, but with a strong veneer of sexuality on top. Unlike Beck and some of the others mentioned, Phair never became a household name, instead remaining a cult favorite who garnered heaps of accolades from music critics and considerable exposure on MTV. Her CD sales were respectable, but never amounted to the blockbuster numbers her label and industry types projected. Then, she purposely lowered her profile after getting married and giving birth to a son at the end of 1996. Two years later, she released her third recording

Artist bio
Liz Phair, though she has continued to grow as a writer and a musician over the past decade, would still have a place in rock history were she to have quit the biz after the release of her bombshell first album, Exile In Guyville Exile was a revelation, a 18-track opus that sounds like it was recorded where it was largely written, in the upstairs bedroom of a teenage girl in suburban Chicago.
Listeners and writers picked up most strongly on the brazen sexuality of tracks like "Fuck And Run" and "Flower," but equally striking was the unabashed pop of "Never Said" and "6'1''," the seductive riffing on "Mezmerizing," the vivid portrait of breakup on "Divorce Song," the elegant atmospheric mood set in "Stratford-On-Guy," etc. It might have announced the birth of a star, but it was her coming-out party and grand achievement at the same time.
Phair would follow up Guyville with the very good albums Whip-Smart and whitechocolatespaceegg , but though neither have embarrassing moments, really, neither comes close to her 1993 debut. That said, Phair was one of the '90s' more intriguing female singer-songwriters, and whether or not her future work ever materializes, she'll be remembered fondly, if only as that frustrated and inspired girl in the attic.

Song: Why Can't I? Lyrics

Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too
What if this is just the beginning
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it So tell me Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you Isn't this the best part of breakin' up Finding someone else you can't get enough of Someone who wants to be with you too It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch But wouldn't it be beautiful Here we go, we're at the beginning We haven't fucked yet, but my heads spinning Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it

    In 1993 Liz Phair released 'Exile In Guyville' , an exceptional debut that confronted the precious indie world from whence it sprang with brazen and confrontational sexuallity. It was also bloody good. Phair's next two records met with mixed response, and in 1998 she seemingly disappeared from the spotlight. 2003 sees her re-emergence with a stylish new self titled "pop" record. Although certainly slicker than past efforts, Liz Phair has lost none of her bite lyrically, still possessing an innate ability to deliver candidly brutal songs frequently relating to her own, and observations on, sexuality. The result is a refeshingly open and commercial "adult" pop record that will appeal to fans of Chrissie Hynde/

    Liz Phair (Capitol Records) By: James Laczkowski - ModernRock.com When I saw Liz Phair at SXSW in Austin, her new material sounded fresh, inspired, and even surprising coming from her. It was because she was playing with a guitar, and two other guys. Nothing else. Her wry voice and magnetic charm emulated throughout the crowd and it only made me look forward even more to her new material. After all, I wasn't dreading the fact that she may have gone all-out pop singer on us. I think it was inevitable that she'd venture into the verse/chorus/verse territory because "Polyester Bride" and "Supernova" hinted at it. It's hard for me to dislike her because she's one of the main reasons I picked up a guitar. (I even had the pleasure of meeting her and telling her that Exile In Guyville and Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend changed my life). So without hesitation I listened to her latest endeavor with open ears and endless anticipation. I was soon shattered into a tiny million pieces by the time Liz compares her lover to a favorite pair of underwear. She's always been lyrically sharp, so it's shocking to report that there is simply no more razor-edge wit to her diatribes. As hard as I tried to enjoy the record without internally screaming "sell-out," as each track progressed, I could sense that my ears were bleeding profusely and that my adoration for her was deteriorating rapidly.

    Liz Phair: Liz Phair Capitol, 2003 Rating: 3.1 June 23 By Kevin Forest Moreau Pigeonholing is a real bitch. Just ask Liz Phair, whose naked bid for pop stardom has the indie cognoscenti sharpening their pitchforks for a full-on, mob-style riot. Ever since she emerged from nowhere with 1993's Exile in Guyville , Phair's been revered as an indie-rock goddess whose frank and gritty sexuality was hailed as a corrective to the overly earnest wave of female singer-songwriters of the day. Guyville 's lo-fi aesthetic won the hearts of the music intelligentsia, but it didn't mask her grand pop ambitions. In fact, that record's unapologetic moments of power-pop set the stage for a large chunk of the material on her two follow-ups, 1994's Whip-Smart and 1998's indulgent, overlooked Whitechocolatespaceegg Still, some of Phair's most ardent fans have insisted on using her debut album as the yardstick against which all of her subsequent work should be measured, a situation almost any artist would decry as unfairly confining. Thus, even before the release of her new, self-titled album, Phair has endured a backlash that's arguably even bigger than the buzz she garnered ten years earlier. In effect, she's been pigeonholed as an artistic indie queen who's supposed to be above the kind of longing for acceptance that each of her albums has laid bare to the world.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    Liz Phair (born April 17 ) is an American singer and songwriter. She emerged from Chicago with her debut album, Exile in Guyville , and became a critical darling. Phair was born in New Haven, Connecticut , but was raised in a suburb of Chicago by her wealthy adoptive parents. After studying art history at Oberlin College in Ohio , Phair met guitarist Chris Brokaw (late of Come ) and the pair moved to San Francisco for a brief period. After moving back to Chicago, Phair began writing songs and releasing homemade tapes under the name Girlysound , supporting herself by selling her drawings on the streets of Chicago. Soon, she was a part of the alternative music scene in Chicago and became friends with Urge Overkill , a popular band, as well as Brad Wood and John Henderson , head of Feel Good All Over , an independent label in Chicago. An attempt at recording the Girlysound tapes failed due to arguments between Henderson and Phair. Meanwhile, Brokaw gave several Girlysound tapes to the head of Matador Records Gerard Cosley , leading to a contract. Phair's debut album was released in

    Liz Phair > Customer Review #1: Big disappointment

    Ive been a fan since I heard Guyville and I had high expectations when I heard a new disc was coming out. Im sorry but this one leaves me limp. I can understand an artist needing to grow,but Liz has changed into a banal, talentless mess. Lacking wit and sophistication that have been her trademarks, she has made a disc lacking in any emotion or flair.
    Liz Phair > Customer Review #2: one of the worst albums ever made It could be said that Liz Phairs greatest asset has always been her inability to write a perfect pop song. On her 1993 debut, Exile in Guyville, Phairs gruff voice wrapped awkward un-hooks around flimsy, transparent chord progressions, resulting in (to everyones surprise) a certifiable indie road-trip classic. It still stands as a powerfully confrontational album, skirting convention but also marked by Phairs striking awareness of her own limitations. Unfortunately, it seems that Phair has spent the better part of her post-Exile career trying to gloss over the very limitations that made her original statement so profound. Though her second album, Whip-Smart, had a few choice moments which recalled the insight and complexity of Exile, ultimately, it came across as a much more calculated affair. But things didnt start to go horribly awry until Phairs next record, Whitechocolatespaceegg. That albums attempts to commercialize her sound only dismantled the depth of her music, but not the awkwardness, resulting in an odd batch of songs that perhaps encapsulated Phairs faulty view of what constitutes a radio-friendly album.
