in Like Flynn

We are really excited to bring the next Round Records release to you all – in the form of a live album compilation – DŸNÄMIZER!We have happened upon recordings from over the years, of both Ginger solo, and The Wildhearts. These have been spruced up by our resident Wizard, Mr Dave Draper, who has worked his magic and also salvaged a few songs from the 2016 Hallowe’en Hootenanny.

Spike Flynn is a singer-songwriter from Australia. He received very favorable reviews for his first two albums. This, his new album, Just This Side Of Here, is his third collection of original songs. The songs are narrative in focus, story-telling songs. Spike grew up in a small country town and his subject matter often reflects this.

Pianist Frank Emilio Flynn has recorded, albeit infrequently, in combo settings, and has interpreted the music of Cuban classicist Ernesto Lecuona. For this one he pulls out the entire Afro-Cuban arsenal of rhythms and son stylings. He features a good mix of clave, rhumba, descarga, romantico, and Latin-based pieces with a flair that is not as frantic as Eddie Palmieri or Chucho Valdes, but is easily as literate and skilled. Among the nine musicians are the great percussionists Tata Guines and Changuito, wooden flute player Joaquin Gavilan, bassist William Rubalcaba, two violinists, and two singers.

"Ashleigh's new record is KILLER! She is in top form with one hell of a band." (Oliver Wood/The Wood Brothers)
Produced by Chris Funk and recorded at the Halfling Studios, Portland, OR, Ashleigh Flynn & The Riveters (Ashleigh Flynn - vocals/acoustic guitar; The Riveters: Nancy Luca - electric guitars, Carmen Paradise - bass, Jolie Clausen - drums, Jenny Conlee-Drizos - organ/piano, Kathryn Claire - fiddle/bgv and Ara Lee - bgv) features 10 original songs of strength and hope. Cover art by Kate Flather. It's a collection of songs that from one to the next swagger like the Stones and charm like a Sunday afternoon front-porch session. Songs that land like T-Rex and T-Bone. Songs of determination and desire, hope (there's that word again), vengeance and humor.
