Lynn Miles "Black Flowers"

Lynn Miles.

A voice that is a force of nature
One part bell tone, two parts ache
Chills, a tingling in your nerve endings
Tides rising, reeds bending in the breeze
A song on the wind
Raw emotion, elegantly delivered.

"Black Flowers" is not just the song we are bringing you here, Black Flowers is also a series of CDs. Lynn Miles has plans to record all 600 of the songs she has written with just vocals and guitar. The first album was released summer of 2008, but actually didn't include the tune "Black Flowers," which was on Vol. 2 from November of the same year. There is a new CD in the works that is not part of this series, the title is Fall For Beauty. Expect it to be released this September. And yes, there will be a Vol. 3 of Black Flowers shortly thereafter.

Lynn's career has taken her from Ottawa to live in Nashville, then to LA, and back to Ottawa, where she is a cherished Canadian songstress. She has been composing since she was 10 years old. Some of her music was first demo-ed in 1987. Since then, she has created an impressive, expressive body of work. Lynn Miles. Let the magic wash over you.
