5.0 out of 5 stars Lori Never quits...., November 25, 2003

Amazing me with her talent. I bought this cd from Lori after seeing her play in August. This cd is special because Lori recorded most of it herself with a minidisc recorder and a pocket mic at her Kitchen Table (hence the name). These songs are full of thoughtful, inspiring, emotional lyrics that I have come to know and love. I could not stop listening to this cd for about a week right after I bought it and everytime I hear it now, it sounds better and better. My favorites from this album are 'Afternoons' (which has a hidden track after it), 'Bible Song', 'The Other Boys', and 'Falter'. If you are a fan of Lori then let me tell you that this album has been worth the wait, her voice and lyrics are as outstanding as ever.

The best thing ,for me, about Lori's songs is that she writes about situations to which nearly everyone can relate... the death of a loved one, the kid at school whom everyone picked on, the constrictions of small town life, being played by someone, and a whole host of other issues concerning life and love.

Lori's passion is unmatched and comes through clear and simple on this cd. Knowing that there were no alterations made to the music or her voice makes Lori all the more talented to me. Anyone can sound good when they are in a studio working with tons of equipment that can make the Chipmunks sound like Mariah Carey. Lori is one of the greatest songwriters I have heard, and her voice blends just right with her lyrics and music. To write songs is one thing, to sing them is another, to put music to them is yet another, and Lori does them all, perfectly!!

I love this CD. It's raw and emotional, and you can hear the pureness of just Lori McKenna's voice and guitar throughout the tracks.
