Lynn Miles debut release reissued at Mid-Price. There is something to be said for experience, for taking the time to grow into your own skin. All sturdy things need time to root firmly into the ground to find their strength. But sometimes a debut album is already stunning: which certainly is the case with Chalk This One Up....the first official release for Lynn Miles, long out of print but on public demand now available again Lynn Miles is one of Canada most accomplished singer/songwriters. With ten albums to her credit. The winner of multiple Canadian Folk Music Awards, and a 2003 Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Solo Album of the Year, she has certainly found her strength over time. Through a career that has seen her move from Ottawa to Los Angeles and back again, with stops in Nashville and Austin, she has always written music with unbridled feeling and vulnerability. Miles has consistently been unflinching in putting herself out there. "If it is possible to be addicted in one single hearing, that's how hard I fell for Miles music and voice" Arthur Wood, Maverick Magazine "Lynn Miles is one of the most acclaimed songwriters to cross the border since Joni Mitchell." - Dallas Morning News "Lynn's music often draws on her love of literature and poetry, but her magic as a songwriter is also in her ability to take life experiences and interpret them in a way that people relate to." - The Tennessean
