    For more than 20 years Lynn Drury has honed her singing and songwriting skills in New Orleans. Originally from Mississippi, she’s got one foot firmly planted in her country roots and the other ducking into dive bars and music clubs across town. Dreamy and stark, Lynn’s distinct voice has been heard across the country and in Europe as well. Her music and melodies get in your head and under your skin - sultry hot funky and funny, they stick to you and with you like a long night out. She calls her music Nolamericana, and there’s a little bit of something for everyone in her catchy tunes.

    Drury takes listeners down a familiar path, dancing, laughing while crying and reflecting on times and places and people that you want to know, and you already do on her ninth album “Dancin’ In The Kitchen.” It consists of 10 original tracks recorded over the summer of 2018 and 2019. It features Ric Robertson producing and recording 4 of the tracks at his home studio in New Orleans. The other 6 tracks were recorded at Rick Nelson's Marigny Studios with Jacque DeLatour(Maria Muldaur) engineering. Guest artists include Rurik Nunan (Cracker) Chris Adkins (George Porter, Jr.) Sam Fribush (Charlie Hunter) Michael Girardot (Revivalists) along with her long standing band, Rene Coman (Iguanas) Alex Mallet & Chris Pylant. The title track features Ric Robertson playing all instruments except for Lynn and her guitar.

lyrics

On the hook for the line
that you cross every time
is it better than being alone?

If you worry all the time
that the feeling's running out
is it better than being alone

Is it better than being alone
when the wait's too much or the way too long
Is it better than being without
when i wake up late ain't nobody there to shout
well you had to buy the ring 'fore you lost everything
is it better than being alone?

there's a play that i like
but it comes with a price
reliving the times gone wrong
yeah when push comes to shove
and nobody's making love
is it better than being alone?

Is it better than being alone
when the weight's too much or the wait too long
Is it better than being without
when i wake up late ain't nobody there to shout

if you worry all the time and you can't make up your mind
is it better than being alone?
yeah the old folks used to say
it'd happen this a way
and you'll settle for being alone
