I've been a fan of Lori's music for several years, and "Lorraine" is a welcome rebound from the good, but Nashville-slick "Unglamorous." The biggest change here is the inclusion of several piano-based songs, which are the early standouts on an album full of excellent tunes. "If He Tried" is one of them, and the best is album closer "Still Down Here", one of the finest songs she's ever done.
Too early to tell whether "Lorraine" is as good as the brilliant "Bittertown", but that's a tough album to top, and second place in Lori's gem of a catalog is still a great spot to be in.

This is the best new recording by a female artist since Court & Spark. Seriously, it's that good. From the 1st line of "Luxury of Knowing" you find this isn't some shined up Nashville Lori but more like her heart felt Kitchen Tapes LP. Song after song is a stroll through her ability to pen the world of the working class who are lucky enough to still have a sense of innocence. "You Get a Love Song" is exactly that. I remeber the first time I heard it I couldn't turn it up loud enough. I just wish they had turned down the mike on the background singer who keeps repeating lines, he's annoying. The closing track "I'm Still Down Here" will put a lump in your throat, if not a tear down your face. It's a very personal goodbye to a loved one & it is nothing short of a masterpiece.
The CD stayed in my player for weeks. There's such a wonderful recording of a mix of musical ideas you just don't get tried of it. I'm sure other artists will find hits off Lorraine, but the radio world is really missing a it without giving "All I Ever Do" airplay. I can't imagine a better recording by such a wonderfully gifted artist.
Seriously, it's that good!

Lori McKenna has been one of the very best singer/songwriters for some time now, in the league of the best we've ever heard. But her artistry keeps growing. Although she has written brilliant songs in the past, this album is consistently richer and deeper than earlier albums. I've been trying to put my finger on why. I think it has something to do with the fact that, while she has always been true to her own perceptions and feelings, now every character in her life and stories (boyfriend, husband, children, rivals, neighbors,....) is treated with understanding and is rendered in 3-dimensional emotional depth. She's creating powerful, beautiful poetry and music. Don't miss this album.

When I first clicked on this album, I honestly thought it was a country album. Her name probably made me think that. I was pleasantly surprised by this album. The songs are mostly slow paced, but it's the words that really capture your attention. She has a good voice, and writes compelling lyrics. Really nice songs for those pensive days. For me it was a nice new find. If you like singers like Kim Taylor, Ryan Calhoun, Greg Laswell or the Cary Brothers, you would like Lori McKenna as well. The best tracks for me on this album are The Most, All I Ever Do, Rocket Science and That's How You Know.

I have been a fan of Lori McKenna for a few years now, and I continue to be impressed with the albums she releases - and Lorraine is no exception. It seems lately that artists release 2 or 3 good albums, then just give up, buy not Lori McKenna.
The album starts with "Luxury of Knowing" - a song written by McKenna, but originally released by Keith Urban - is deep and a classic McKenna song. Lori McKenna shows a more vulnerable side on the final track "Still Down Here". Anyone who appreciates small towns and classic young love will enjoy "Buy This Town" and "You Get A Love Song".
Needless to say, this is McKenna's best album to date. It is sure to satisfy multiple genre lovers.

She continues to get even better!!
I love this new CD. I can't believe she is so under-appreciated! The woman is a genius with music and words and can evoke feeling by saying very little. She is superb!

Back to her best
First I bought Bittertown - wow! Then The Kitchen Tapes - raw but good. Unglamorous - disapppointing - the production team smoothed off all the sharp edges. Read more

I have enjoyed Lori McKenna's music going back to when she was just a locally known Boston singer-songwriter. On this CD she pays tribute to her mother. Read more

Outstanding music! Lori has done it again with well written lyrics and the music to back it up. I originally looked at the lyrics on her website and had to see what they sounded... Read more
