Lori McKenna, ‘Unglamorous’ (Full CD)
Here we go again. The ladies keep on making a statement this year. This time around its Lori McKenna with her Warner Bros. debut titled Unglamorous. When she’s not making babies (she recently had her fifth), she’s writing songs. She’s so good at songwriting that Faith Hill decided to repurpose three of them on her last album. Though in my book Faith Hill ain’t got nothin’ on McKenna. She’s as good a singer as she is a songwriter. From what I’ve heard so far this is her best album to date. I love that it starts with a rockin’ number called “Leaving this Life”. With Warner Bros. on board, expect this album to get some well deserved notice. File under: Pop / Country / Folk
