 Similarly to Tori Amos' "Strange Little Girls", which was released the same year, "Girl Versions" presented Gryner's reinterpretations of songs written by men.Unlike Amos' album, however, Gryner did not create characters to present the songs in an ironic or political context; instead, she simply chose some of her own favourite rock, heavy metal and punk songs and interpreted them in her own more pop-oriented style.The album was first recorded live in Sarnia's Imperial Theatre.
