?On stage Hanson has a wonderful charm and disarming sense of humour ? a spontaneity and honesty that enchants.? Americana UK

?That performance from Lynne Hanson was worth waiting for. It was different, yet mightily satisfying for those hooked in the magnetic appeal of songwriters sharing their valued craft. It underlined the versatility of this Canadian who you feel could grace any arena in a folk, country and rock scene.? Three Chords & The Truth

"The lyrics on this album are some of Hanson's very best and her vocals are strong and confident ... allied to a superb production ... possibly Lynne Hanson's best work.? 4 ½ Stars. Country Music People

Too tough for folk and too blues-influenced for country, Lynne Hanson?s brand of porch music with a little red dirt can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname ?Canada?s Queen of Americana.? And while her deep, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch, it?s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart.

Hanson is known for her high energy, roots guitar driven live performances, whether playing solo or with her band the Good Intentions. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming.

The prolific songwriter has released eight studio albums along with two books of poetry over her 16 year solo career. She?s toured extensively across North America, Europe and the UK, and appeared at leading international festivals including Take Root (Netherlands), Glasgow Americana (Scotland), Maverick Festival (UK), Kerrville Folk Festival (US), and Winnipeg Folk Festival (Canada). She has also toured as support for Grammy-nominated artists like Gretchen Peters, Steve Forbert and Albert Lee.
