Acclaimed cult- favorite Grey DeLisle makes exquisitely personal records that
conjure worlds unto themselves. With Iron Flowers, DeLisle ingests the roots of
modern popular music and elegantly encapsulates them into an original whole. It's
an ambitiously modern record that lands - for comparison's sake only (meaning

suggests heartfelt nods to classic American songwriting and an awareness of the
indie rock canon. Produced by Marvin Etzioni, Iron Flowers features the musical
talents of Dave Mattacks, Don Heffington, Sheldon Gomberg, Greg Leisz, and Murray
Hammond. (Sugar Hill) Bonus Disc Tracks: Bohemian Rhapsody/ Joanna/ Blue Heart
(non-album mono mix)/ I'm On Fire (Bruce Springsteen cover) (Sugar Hill)
Grey DeLisle's

Parton, but the homage and references to historic Americana is ...

sound of Patsy Cline-era Nashville, while the melancholic "Borrowed &
Blue" wonderfully blends De Lisle's sorrowful ballad singing with a contemporary
sheen. She also demonstrates her versatility by turning out tunes...
Grey Delisle
knows how to pull the heartache out of a song. Her debut disc is packed with stripped
down but emotionally stirring country music that is fused with a touch of the
blues. Her backing band, which includes Jake LaBotz and Marvin Etzioni (who also
served as producer), gives her able support. Small Time suggests that Delisle
will be making the big time soon. ...
Los Angeles
based alt. country siren Grey DeLisle is a powerhouse vocalist and its most apparent
in the live arena, where she works the arrangements of her emotionally rich material
with all the finesse possible. Recorded in May 2003 at The Scene in Glendale,
CA, DeLisle and band present a mix of classic and alt. country, Spanish torch
songs and pop. Most of the tracks are drawn from her ...
Leaving
the June Carter Cash/ Jolie Holland sonic template of her last album behind, Grey
DeLisle has returned with a stylistically varied effort evoking everyone from
