By 2011 it had been almost 20 years since Fiona Flanagan had released new music. The effervescent American enjoyed a run of four albums back in the day, from 1985’s excellent debut Fiona, through to 1992’s underrated Squeeze album. She also had a role in the Bob Dylan-led Hearts Of Fire movie and married Beau Hill, one of the most in-demand producers in the business.
Fiona’s star was definitely in the ascendancy. But then, as she laughingly put it, “Beau divorced me – and then my career divorced me.” And so the self-confessed ‘soccer mom’ was as surprised as anyone in 2011 to be on the promotional trail, speaking to Classic Rock about a brand new Fiona album, Unbroken.
