Laura Burhenn says she'd long imagined a band that sounded like Neil Young playing Motown. A veteran of the pop group Georgie James, she formed The Mynabirds to capture a grittier and more soulful sound. Burhenn recently brought The Mynabirds to the NPR Music offices to perform songs from What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood.
I love Laura Burhenn

maybe she imagined a neil young motown band cause there already fucking was..and the name was the mynabirds!!! no joke worse case of plagiarism ive ever heard of in music. seriously rick james and neil young were in a band called the mynabirds in the 60s i know it sounds like a joke but its true

@danocable I dont know if that was a pathetic attempt to get a high rated comment or if you really mean that... if its the latter you really need to look harder.. start with making your way through all the other nprs!
