Career Of Irish origin, Fiona was born in Phillipsburg, New Jersey after her parents moved from Dublin to the United States.[1] At the age of 18, she moved to New York City where she began her career as a singer in several bands.[2] In the mid-1980s, she was signed to Atlantic Records. Her self titled debut album was released in 1985. The album peaked at #71 on that year's Billboard 200 chart and remained charted for a week.[3] The album's sole single, "Talk to Me", reached #12[4] and #64[5] on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and Hot 100 charts respectively. That same year, she also guested on Aldo Nova's Twitch. Around this time, Fiona made her acting debut in the Jan 31, 1986 Miami Vice second season episode "Little Miss Dangerous".[6] Her second album, Beyond the Pale, was released in 1986. That album spawned two singles: "Hopelessly Love You" and "Living In a Boy's World". In 1987, Fiona starred opposite Bob Dylan in the musical drama Hearts of Fire. Fiona sings the film's title track which appears on the film's soundtrack, along with four previously unreleased songs by Fiona. Her third album, Heart Like a Gun, was released in 1989. That album also yielded two singles, "Where the Cowboys Go" and "Everything You Do (You're Sexing Me)", a duet with Kip Winger. She has since released two additional albums, 1992's Squeeze and 2011's Unbroken. In addition to her own solo work, Fiona has also done backing vocals for other artists including Warrant (on the Cherry Pie album). Personal life Fiona was once married to producer Beau Hill, who produced, played some instruments on and sang backing vocals on some of her albums. She was also in a relationship with guitarist Reb Beach of Winger who likewise performed on her album Beyond the Pale.[7] Since taking a break from music, Fiona has married for a second time and graduated from UCLA. She briefly worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers but resigned to have children, of which she has two, her daughter Owen and son Aidan.[6] Discography Studio albums Fiona (1985) New Jersey's darker and more urgent response to the quirky pop of Cyndi Lauper, Fiona found herself plucked from near obscurity into the MTV spotlight with her minor hit "Talk to Me." A cross between the pop-metal of Heart and the throaty hysterics of Lita Ford, Joan Jett and Vixen, there are moments of unapologetic, polished rock that were designed for the pop charts, complete with bafflingly insipid lyrics. The only relief from the pop-metal onslaught comes in the form of the rock ballad "Love Makes You Blind," which easily could be an outtake from the Carnie and Wendy Wilson sisters and the "Na Na Song." Quite simply, it's good clean fun for people who liked to get dirty in the '80s. This was the also the first in a series of Fiona reissues rescued from obscurity courtesy of the Wounded Bird imprint, assuring the material available for generations to come.

With Fiona out front and then-lover Beau Hill twiddling knobs, most every cut transcends the cookie cutter even in small ways, as when "Tragedy" mocks itself with electronic basso profundo backing vocals or "Hopelessly Love You" opens with a keyboard stammer and an intro twisting the fair maiden's pitches into helium giggles. Side two offers her first sustained suite, including "Running out of Night," a warning to an aging miscreant to either stay in bed or keep running; "He's on My Side" is the record's most pristine melody over heartfelt, embarrassed goop that's perfect for the newlyweds' first dance, and "Keeper of the Flame" is a jilted lover's vow that, like the mole in the ground, she will root her ex's mountain down. Fiona co-wrote all three of the latter; it's evident she's gearing up for her high-water mark, Heart Like a Gun.

Listeners learn over the power chords that "Mariel" is in deep trouble, though they don't learn how or why. "Victoria Cross" is getting put to bed after a long night on a turning point; "If it wasn't all so sexual," the protagonist admits, "well, we might have stayed friends." "Where the Cowboys Go" pleads for a lover to leave town, "while we still can/While we're young," but the pleader lacks the independence of Fine Young Cannibals' similar "Don't Look Back," and her resolve slips as the bass synth oscillates. The material is consistently strong, but also all of a piece, and this friend on a ledge, or that bit of lesbian intrigue, form settings in an overarching mythology; these songs embody the train-crash-intense emotions of the young (or the emotionally intense of any age). In their exhilarating and harrowing street-opera encounters over greasy pizza and sticky Coke, at a house party with the folks out of town, or in an upstairs bedroom real or imagined, they pack the thick misery and release of the "Gotterdammerung." Like anything with intensity, it's tempting to laugh; when Fiona and Kip Winger moan, "you're sexing me," at each other, someone with farm experience could imagine them sedately side by side, determining the maleness or femaleness of newly hatched chicks. Against that, though, you might be well-advised to ask yourself the last time you felt this much blood in your veins. Heart Like a Gun is the third studio album by singer Fiona, released on October 2, 1989 through Atlantic Records. It reached #150 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1990 and remained charted for sixteen weeks.[2] The album features singer/bassist Kip Winger and drummer Rod Morgenstein from the band Winger, with Kip dueting with Fiona on "Everything You Do (You're Sexing Me)". 1.

Nirvana's Nevermind and Pearl Jam's Ten had gone through the roof commercially, and alternative rock was becoming rock's primary direction, something that many A&R people and music industry professionals would have thought impossible a few years earlier. But sure enough, rock tastes were changing, and by 1993 and 1994, ‘80s-style arena rockers like Fiona Flanagan were being accused of sounding dated. Not that dated is necessarily a terrible thing; it can actually be a plus if you worship a particular era. And on Squeeze, Flanagan's sound is firmly planted in the ‘80s. Produced by Marc Tanner (with John Kalodner doing some of the engineering), this slick, high-gloss collection of arena rock, hard rock, and pop/rock shows no awareness of the grunge/alt-rock upheaval that took place in 1992. Flanagan was a product of the ‘80s, and Squeeze never strays from that big ‘80s sound: big drums, big guitars, big melodies, big choruses, big harmonies. Squeeze, which was Flanagan's first album for Geffen and fourth overall, found the New Jersey native fronting a real band instead of simply using a bunch of studio players (a move that Kalodner had recommended). But once you get past the fact that there are four people on the front cover instead of one, it becomes apparent that Squeeze isn't a radical departure from the three albums Flanagan had recorded for Atlantic in the ‘80s. And like much of her Atlantic output, Squeeze falls short of remarkable but is generally decent. Squeeze is never mind-blowing, although it's a pleasant, likable effort that is worth hearing if you're a die-hard fan of ‘80s-style arena rock. Squeeze is the fourth studio album by singer Fiona, released in 1992 through Geffen Records. 1. "Kiss the Boys Goodbye" Harry Paress, Curt Cuomo 3:45 2.

After playing in various groups, she signed a solo contract and released three albums, a self-titled debut in 1985, Beyond the Pale (1986), and Heart like a Gun (1989). Flanagan then switched to Geffen, added a band (and calling it Fiona), and released Squeeze in 1992. Accompanying her on the album are guitarist Dave Marshall, bassist Laura McDonald, and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso.

The film was essentially a vehicle for Dylan based on his success as a rock musician. It received poor reviews, a limited theatrical release,[1] and was later written off by Dylan himself. Origin and filming Originally written by Scott Richardson, the screenplay was rewritten by Basic Instinct writer Joe Eszterhas because Lorimar Productions felt that Richardson was a "baby writer" and not experienced enough to take on the responsibility of a starring vehicle for a rock icon of Dylan's stature. Hearts of Fire is also regarded as the film that "killed Richard Marquand", director of Return of the Jedi, who would die of a stroke later the same year.[2][3] The film was shot in Canada (Hamilton and Toronto) at the defunct Davenport Works of the Canadian General Electric Company and the United Kingdom (Southerndown and Coney Beach at Porthcawl).[4][5] The film's concert scenes were shot at the Colston Hall in Bristol,[6] and Camden, North London (UK).[5] Concert scenes filmed at Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario. Release Hearts of Fire did poorly in theaters. It was first released in the UK in 1987 and was pulled from the theaters after approximately two weeks. As a result, the film was released to a very few theaters in the United States for one week only. All plans to set to release the film nationwide, which was planned for release by Lorimar Motion Pictures, but the film was set to limbo, citing the negative reviews of the feature film.[7] Home media In the United States, the film was released directly to video by Warner Home Video in 1990 after a very short theatrical run.[8] The film was re-released on VHS by Warner Brothers on December 6, 1993.[9] The film was released digitally for purchase through iTunes and Vudu. Reviews Variety lamented that it was "unfortunate that the last film of helmer Richard Marquand, who died shortly after completing it, should be Hearts of Fire" and that the film failed "to fire on all cylinders despite a nimble performance by the enigmatic Bob Dylan typecast as a reclusive rock star."[10] Channel 4 deemed the film a "blunt instrument of 80s vacuity."[11] DVDLaser stated that it is "a really bad movie," but also that the viewer's opinion of Bob Dylan is "the key to liking or disliking the film."[12] Time Out London said that Dylan "hovers enigmatically on the sidelines, offering jaundiced comments."[13] Soundtrack In 1987, Columbia Records released the soundtrack to the film. Dylan was apparently originally contracted to write and contribute four new original recordings to the album[14] but only turned in two original songs and one cover song. The tracks included a cover of John Hiatt's "The Usual", along with the Dylan originals "Night After Night" and "Had a Dream About You Baby". Dylan later released an alternate version of "Had a Dream About You Baby" on the 1988 album Down in the Groove.
