Johnny Flynn

Johnny Flynn, a London-based singer-songwriter, has an accomplished resume that includes working as a Shakespearean stage actor. His lyrics have a strong literary bent while his sound draws heavily on the traditional English folk foundation. Today, the former busker performs songs from his new album, "A Larum."

    On "tickle me Pink" is that the base line from "girls" by the Bestie Boys?

    I like it though.

    I really like Johnny Flynn's music. With his strong British accent and lyrics ("smoking fags and drinking tea") it's *very* English sounding. I wonder if he's self-conciously English-- like the Kinks.
