Here is an artist that has been around a long time creating music, but here in 2008 is the first time I have heard of him - and you will be very, very happy Not Lame has tripped across Lannie Flowers because he has a voice similar to Nick Lowe and the melodic and hooky charms of Squeeze and Badfinger but he really splatters all kinds of pop reference points just makes it all sound fresh as mid-spring fruit. Before we get to the background and story of "Same Old Story" here is where I exhort and encourage you to simply stop reading and start hitting the buttons below and just listen. It is where the rubber of your ear, hits the road, potentially, of your pocketbook and decide to make a very, very smart choice addition to your music collection. Lannie Flowers groomed his pop sensibilities as front man and leader of the Dallas-Ft. Worth based band The Pengwins from the late 70s through the 80s. Through the years of habitual late night jams, listening parties of the great pop bands of the day and working with award winning producers such as Rick Derringer and Jim Dickinson, Lannie honed his song writing and producing skills. When faced with the daunting task of finding a permanent storage facility for all those hundreds of old demos and half finished songs in his studio in Kennedale TX, Lannie decided to create the ultimate homage to those old tapes and his music. 36 individual melodies or one all inclusive melody, It is up to your interpretation. Same Old Story is a 45 minute pop music collage. From the first glance, through all the struggles of young love, to the inevitable end, Lannies` delivery is a refreshingly new twist on that but where the music lands in between your ears is what matters - matter it does. EXTREMELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
