This winter Texas rocker Chrissy Flatt brings you "December's Jewel" a meditative holiday season single. Combining the jangle and drive of vintage rock'n'roll in the vein of Buddy Holly, the Beau Brummels and Bobby Fuller with the hard hitting lyrical realism of modern troubabdours like Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle, Miss Flatt gained acclaim for her releases "Wings of a Butterfly" and "Walk With Kings" earlier this decade. Magnet Magazine's Robert Baird proclaimed her "gutsy...a country-rock singer-songwriter worth keeping an eye on" and Tom Semioli of Amplifier labeled the music "romantically-inclined and decidedly rootsy...pleasing, effective and ultimately refreshing".
"December's Jewel" with it's lush strings and evocative storytelling is an exciting preview of things to come. Look for more new music from Chrissy Flatt in 2009.
