iLike Lynne Hanson

Check out the October 25, 2009 Ottawa Citizen article "20 Questions" with Bruce Deachman here. Or listen to the podcast.

"Roots music had a great year this year, and Ottawa's Lynne Hanson should be on the top of the lists. Worldly without being depressing and lyrics where the characters don't just complain about their lives, they take responsibility for where they stand ...  Eleven Months is worth every minute it took to spill out all those guts onto Hanson's kitchen table." - Alan Neal host of Bandwidth on CBC Radio One

Eleven Months

Lynne Hanson’s album is an aural treat. A spacious & drifting sound redolent of American Music Club’s best work. - Acoustic Magazine (UK)

Canadian Hanson sounds like she's from way further south, her soulful country debut coloured by a touch of blues on "How Little I Sleep" & "Willow Tree", & a glimmer of folksiness on quieter tracks such as the beautiful "Middle of the Bed - *** Q Magazine (UK)

Everything Lynne does on this album, be it her singing, the tasty understated music, or her well-crafted songs, just feels right & bears repeated listening. Ottawa-born Hanson is up near the best of them. - Sunday Life (Belfast)

Canadian songbird, Lynne Hanson is yet another from her homeland making an impression on the Americana roots scene. She looks set to be around for the long haul. - Maverick Magazine (UK) 2 page Feature

Eleven Months is a stunning album from a rising talent - Gt. Yarmouth Advertiser

The lyrics are rich in worldly observation & the melodies shimmer with beauty - Waveney Advertiser
