32 HITS August 5, 1991 AN EXCLUSIVE HITS INTERV EW WITH LISA McKAY BY DANNY OSTRO W THE REAL McKAY This San Antonio, Texas native grew up in Charlottesville, Virginia — the home of Thomas Jefferson — and attended the University of Virginia as a drama major, though she fell in love with radio the first day she set foot on campus, where she worked at WUVA, the college radio station. By 1981, she was working as Promotions Director at WJMA and WVJZ in Charlottesville, then did nights at WRSF in Nags Head, Virginia, as CJ McKay, where the OM at WRVQ in Richmond heard her and offered her a gig. A year later, she's MD at the station.

POMO PICKS Edited b Karen Glauber POMO MUGS Mary's Danish, "Circa" (Morgan Creek): A million hoorays to Mary's Danish, the only truly great L.A. band. "Circa," their 2nd album, is 17 tracks that take the legacy left by X and ex- pand it into a post-punk tour de force. Julie Ritter and Gretchen Seeger have two distinctly unique singing styles that, when blended, sound like Wanda Jackson meets Kim Gordon. Dave Jerden encourages the band to thrash, recoil, then thrash some more. Play this or you're fucked. Mary's Danish is JESUS SAVES! MENA DROOLS!: We knost you love to see shots of among the best PoMo has to offer, no other bands need apply.

With production by Brad Whitford of Aerosrnith fame, and sporting more hooks than a tackle box, (including "Prettiest Girl, their signature song), the rest of the world will now know what everyone in Boston has always known — THE HOODS ROCK. (KC)

Psychedelic Furs, "World Outside" (Columbia): The success of the Fur's eighth album largely depends on radio's response to "Until She Comes," easily RAW HYDE: Yep, campers. vet another pathetic attempt at publicity by the best sounding single since "Love Mercury's shameless Tim Hyde, the official 199i parer child for the As- My Way."

Leslie Phillips had already made a name for herself as a singe/songwriter in the realm of Christian music, recording three albums in the early to mid-eighties, but she was becoming stifled by the restrictions of the gospel

scene. Her transitional third album, -The Turning," produced by the much- admired (and now her husband) 1-Bone Burnett, set her free into the pop music arena. Embarking on a new direction, the California native took her family nickname *Sam" and stepped into the rock world. Three years ago, Sam Phillips beautifully crafted pop debut, "The Indescribable Wow," didn't receive the attention it was due. Hopefully, her latest, 'Cruel Inven- Grand tions," will rectify that gross injustice. Produced once again by Burnett — with guest appearances by Elvis Costello and Van Dyke Parks — 'Cruel In- ventions"' artfully sophisticated lyrical power meshes the pure instinctive musical spirit to create a deceptively simple, multi-textural feast for the head, heart and the soul. With the release of her single 'Lying" braving the PoMo world, Phillips gave FITTS' resident sympathetic ear, eye, nose and throat "Mon" Shari 'Amour" Roman the honest truth on her tumultous Sam tumble through the land of pop-rock.

Vanessa Williams Proves She Has The Right Stuff! THE HIT ZONE! Queen Vanessa is back! Ms. Williams is rulin' radio and retail with "Run- ning Back To You," an ir- resistibly catchy track which, according to WRKS New York PD Vinnie Brown, will be "THE fresh upbeat summer jam." Rey DeJesus of the Big Apple's cutting edge retail outlet Downstairs Records adds, "People are running to the store to buy it — not just to listen to it, but also to stare at this gorgeous woman." (O.K. Rey, keep it in your pants! You know what happened to Pee-wee Herman. But we won't touch that with a three-inch pole.) Rey has good reason to get excited. Vanessa's new LP, "The Comfort Zone," is knee-deep in commercial monsters, whether they be catchy uptempo dance cuts or silky-smooth Quiet Storm rulers, and will see the talented woman ascend the throne yet another time. "Artisti- cally, it's as strong as anything I've heard in quite some time," raves Mercury R&B ruler Tony Anderson. When it comes to the dial, Vanessa is runnin' thangs.
