  • LORI Mckenna the BIRD & the RIFLE CN RECORDS Lori Mckenna Puts a Magnifying Glass on Un-Championed Lives
    LORI MCKENNA THE BIRD & THE RIFLE CN RECORDS Lori McKenna puts a magnifying glass on un-championed lives. She doesn’t just notice the quiet and ordinary, she delights in it – effortlessly transforming the average to extraordinary. The result is over a decade worth of songs filled with honest stories and melodic depth, and her latest release is no exception. Produced by Dave Cobb, McKenna’s tenth studio album, The Bird & The Rifle revels in the routines and events that may seem mundane but are the most important, transcendent moments of our lives. The Bird & The Rifle proves that the worlds of Cobb and McKenna were meant to overlap. The Grammy-winning pro- ducer behind albums from Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and more, Cobb has emerged as a modern master of capturing the grizzled beauty in imperfection. Recorded live, the album invites close listening, achieving an intimacy that is comfortable but precise – a perfect compliment to McKenna’s sterling songcraft. JOHN PRINE IN SPITE OF OURSELVES OH BOY RECORDS John Prine needs no introduction. Soon, the amazing singer songwriter will be unleashing a brand new album of duets called For Better, Or Worse featuring the likes of Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Lee Ann Womack and Kathy Mattea. The only holdovers from the first go-round are his wife Fiona and his old friend Iris DeMent. And what was that first go-round? A little record called In Spite of Ourselves that came out in 1999 and is about to get a vinyl release for the very first time.
