I heard of Lori on a NPR Morning Edition segment profiling unknown but exceptional performers. It took me a while to find a copy of the CD, but the wait was well worth it. Her lyrics are very moving, and she has interesting thoughts and stories to share. Pink Sweater stands out on this album, as a song about the dragging death of a southern black man several years ago. Other songs are more contemplative. Have listened to it numerous times on my daily commute, and I keep discovering new things in the CD that I enjoy.

Lori McKenna is one of the best singer songwriters in the buisness. This CD is a far step from the debut CD, which is saying something, seeing as how the debut was amazing.Can't wait for the third album!

Keep up the great work Lori!

I purchased this album after after being blown away by Bittertown. I thought, "fantastic, another Patty Griffin (of sorts)". Unfortunately, I found Pieces of Me to be very average and I've listened to it several times. I'm not sure what the other reviewers see in this one.

Listen guys,

This woman to me is very very good. And only two cd's out??
Where are all the music lovers out there? I don't know if she is even out in alot of cd stores. I love her!! Maybe sort of an Alanis M but laid back and folkish. I would recommend BOTH of her
cd's. Actually maybe a better voice than Alanis. Sit back and relax and listen if you like good folk music. She may be my favorite female artist in the singer-songwwiter,folk-rock,indie music,and I have a good varied collection of them.

I found Lori McKenna on [...] and had to own this CD. Her lyrics are honest, wry, biting, and compelling. She has the ability to invite you into a song and take you along for the ride.

Lori McKenna has quickly become my favorite artist in the singer-songwriter category. All of her songs are simple and honest but never boring. Her voice will grab you and keep you wanting more. There is obvious talent when someone can sing without over production and tons of background music. My favorites from this album are 'Fireflies', 'Mars', 'Deserving Song', and 'You are Loved'. 'Never Die Young' is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard!! Richard Shindell adds vocals to this song that Lori wrote about her mother that died when she was 6 years old.

I was so pleased to hear Lori had a new CD out!! Her music is awesome, she has a voice like no other!

This is the 1st i have heard of Lori, but diffently not the last.She shows a voice that comes from the gut.Songs are greatly written.Please keep them coming Lori. Much enjoyed.

This is a must. I am greatful to have been introduced to Lori Mckenna and recommend her to anyone who has interest in good music. You will enjoy this cd. What a pleasure to listen to, I listen every day.
