Women ROCK! article index >> Natalie Flanagan Underground phenomenon Natalie Flanagan emerges from the Boston underground music scene garnishing rave reviews for her live performances. She has recently completed a 5 song album recorded "live" at Room 9 by Boston sound guru [and Barence Whitfield drummer] Ducky Carlisle. Natalie's "spare songwriting style, highlighted by sweet Lou Reed meets Bettie Severt vocals [D.Wildman Boston Globe] "captivates audiences by conjuring a dark moodiness reminiscent of Mazzy Star. Backed by a new rhythm section [from Slide] and a moaning lap steel, her band has only reinforced comparisons to Chrissy Hynde and "The Feelies with more feel [J. Marko]". Natalie Flanagan writes the kind of songs you just can't find in your day to day coffeehouse Singer/Songwriter scene. Her Power Pop is embellished with vintage guitar tones that evoke the comfort of sitting next to a roaring fireplace and listening to a heavy thunderstorm. Her singing sounds like she could very well be the bastard daughter of Chrissie Hynde. Good songwriting aside, Flanagan should be commended on finding a way to fuse Power Pop with Country Rock in a manner that strays from all the tired and predictable formulas often found in the charming but predictable No Depression scene. [Mike A. Associate Editor, Listen.com "Find Your Music"]. With a catalogue of beautifully heartfelt and gut wrenching songs, Natalie Flanagan is an artist you won't want to miss. http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/97/natalie_flanagan.html Find music at Amazon.com!
