I won a the CFMA English Songwriter of the year award. My mom was in the audience, so I felt like I was five years old jumping up and down saying "hey mom look what I did". I cried, she cried ... and I cried at the party, and I cried on the train ride home!! It was very humbling to be in the catagory with all those fine songwriters. Not to single anyone out, but, Ron Hynes writes the most honest songs on the planet. What a great community to be a part of. Thank you to those who voted for little ol me.
happy holidays,

There's a brand new review of Fall For Beauty from the Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange:
"Fall for Beauty is not only one of the best albums of the year, but one of the best recordings of any year. She may be Canada's troubadour, but she belongs to all of us. Her talent is a shining light on a dark day; a beacon of timeless beauty." - Roberta B. Schwartz

Toronto Star Review
Fall for Beauty (True North)
3.5 stars
(out of 4)
It seems an almost perversely guilty pleasure to fall for a roots/country singer in the midst of the multicultural bustle of Toronto. But Lynn Miles' eighth studio album, brimming with 10 of her own creations, is seductive for the very reason that this genre of music exists in the first place: sheer emotional honesty, unbridled by pretension or irony. It doesn't matter if we love opera or hip hop; all we want is to move forward in our lives, come what may.
But, as Miles sings in on the title track, “Something Beautiful,” “there is no clean getaway.” The songs' style ranges from old-country waltz to light rock (on the title track) and outright pop. Each match of poetry and melody has its own insinuating wiles. A lot of credit goes to Miles' rich voice and deft hands on acoustic guitar and piano. She gets help from producer Ian Lefeuvre, who picks up a number of instruments, double-bass player Maury Lafoy and violinist Drew Jurecka.
Top track: “Time to Let the Sun,” as it unleashes a dramatic resolve to “put your dress on/ It's time to swing and sway/ It's time to let the sun have its day.” Miles performs live at the Glenn Gould Studio on Nov. 10.
