What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

MICK FLANNERY "red to blue" cd, 2012

career stats:
studio albums............4

this album...............#1 IRE

Irish singer/songwriter...
third album of four and only one I own...
Wiki shows nothing for single releases, so im guessing he just releases his albums without them??...
picked up from a discount bin for a couple of bucks....
slightly folky, slightly alternative also....
mainly ballads on here but a couple of uptempo tracks also...
the uptempo ones are my favourite on here....
as an unknown singer in 2006, pre contract, he journeyed to Nashville to try his hand
at the "international songwriting competition", which he won, grand final night of the award
show was judged by his idol Tom Waits, so a double win for Flannery...
his other idols (musically) are Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan...
theres some of their poet styles in some of the songs but I fail to hear Waits on any track here...
all up, not a bad album, although it doesn't score too high, I think I would give him a go with another
album if I ever saw one in a discount bin
