From the Label
A rising star of 2006, Catherine Feeny releases her eagerly anticipated new album Hurricane Glass. Produced by Sebastian Rogers and mixed by Dave Way, whose previous credits include Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple, Macy Gray and Paul McCartney, the album is a masterclass in intimate songwriting.

Originally from Philadelphia but now residing in Norfolk, Catherine signed to Tallgrass Records in November 2005 after spending the year recording her album and touring with Suzanne Vega, John Prine and Hal. In September 2004, she performed at London’s legendary Ronnie Scotts before playing her own headline dates across France and Belgium where she has already established a devoted audience.

Influenced by a variety of genres and artists including Joni Mitchell, The Smiths, PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth and Sinead O’Connor, Catherine’s musical tastes have clearly encouraged her own creative style. Her first studio LP since 2003’s self-released Catherine Feeny, Hurricane Glass is a deeply introspective album that focuses on personal struggles and complex relationships. Album highlights include the heart-on-sleeve opening track "Touch Back Down", the Lucinda Williams-esque "Hurricane Glass", the politically weighted "Unsteady Ground" and "Mr Blue" with its immaculate pop streak.

Catherine’s sound is already making an impact--the stunning "Mr Blue" will be featured in the new Gwyneth Paltrow/Annette Bening film "Running With Scissors", adapted from Augusten Burroughs’ award-winning book of the same name. The director of the film heard the track on Nic Harcourt’s influential L.A morning radio show while driving to the film set, and immediately earmarked it for the soundtrack.

Customer Reviews

Catherine Feny - Hurricane Glass
A stunning album, the prettiest voice... and totally enchanting songs! Love "Mr Blue" - such a sweet tune.

I am now hooked and want to purchase her other albums!!!!

Buy them - You will not be dissapointed if you love relaxed, heart felt music sung by a women with a pretty voice and simple acoustic guitar! :0)

Beautiful Album
Great songs; classic; old fashioned production; beautiful voive and brilliant lyrics. I love her!

Still Sounds Great after a Year on My iPod
This is a re-released version of a great album that came out last year. Decent female singer-songwriters are ten a penny but there's something about this album that stands out from the crowd: it's definitely Feeny's unique brooding and melancholic voice but also the dark and acerbic lyrics which often have as their counterpoint gentle, sweet melodies. Hush Now, Mr Blue and Radar are all examples of the above. I hope it finds the audience it deserves.
