Passion. Soul. Grit. These three words sum up the essence that is Lynn Manderson. Her voice draws comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Patty Smyth but hers is a voice that is uniquely her own. Incomparable. Sweetness lives in her soul and over the years her spirit has aged like a fine malt whiskey.A Nashvillian by way of Maine, she works as a full time counselor for alcoholics in rehab and, until recently, her music has always taken a back seat for the love of helping others. All this is begining to change as she and producer/musician Shawn Byrne are excavating some rather sizable punk rocks in the tangled roots of her Americana past. She has found her true voice and you can hear it in such tracks as "Used Cars" and "Whoop De Do". Don't forget "That Train Keeps Me Up at Night", where she spits the words "Clickety Clack! My Heart is Black! Pumpin' like a Piston Down a One Way Track"
I wouldn't get in her way either. This chick means business.Lynn's newest CD, yet to be titled, is coming soon! Until then please enjoy a few of the unreleased songs above...
