I just read somewhere that Faith Hill is recording three of Lori McKenna's songs on her new cd coming out next month. In fact the title song "Fireflies" is a McKenna song. I like Faith Hill and think she is a good singer, but I think Lori McKenna is a great singer and songwriter. I've long been a fan of her music, so hopefully this new exposure through Faith Hill will help her career. At least if nothing it should help her bank account.
Lori McKenna has three cds out at the stores, Paperwings and Halos, Pieces of Me and her newest Bittertown. All are great cds, filled with some great music and singing. Her voice is not the ususal cookie cutter sound of most female singers. If I had to say she sounded like anyone I would say I hear traces of Lucinda Williams in her voice. Her songs are wonderful, tales of love, hope and life.
I just found out that she also has another cd out, The Kitchen Tapes which she sells only through her website. She recorded it at her kitchen table, just her and her guitar. I'm going to have to order it now.
If you get a chance check her out.
