| More Liz Phair News: |
| Liz continued working with Brad Wood and in 1992 sent a tape that had six songs on it to Matador Records. She was signed for two albums and an EP. Liz immediately started work on her first album, Exile in Guyville. The name comes partly from the Rolling Stones album, Exile in Mainstreet, but the term guyville refers to the male-dominated indie music scene. Liz's debut album, Exile in Guyville, got a lot of good reviews, and it is considered one of the 200 essential albums by Rolling Stone. In 1994, Liz released her second album, Whip-smart. This album was released to a lot of bad reviews. Many critics considered it a flop, but many of her fans enjoy the album very much.
