Liz Phair

Liz Phair was studying art at Oberlin College in Ohio when she began leafing through one of her text books. "I started counting how many (female artists) were in this book called Modern Art and it was something as horrifying as sixteen women before 1960 were included. I thought, 'It's gotta get better in the modern period after 1960.' And it was an incredibly small number," she tells My Turning Point host Steve Baltin. Wanting to make her mark is what led her to make the seminal "Exile In Guyville" album, and the rest is alternative music history.For more original LiveXLive podcasts and the best in streaming music and video, head to https://www.livexlive.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/livexliveInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/livexlive/
