Listen to music from singer-songwriter Lori McKenna on her new album 1988.
She has a very interesting About page on her website where she talks about herself, this album, and her music (she titled the album after her wedding year). I remember seeing her perform at Guene Hall (near New Braunfels), the oldest dance hall in Texas, and love all her albums.
See my artist page for Lori McKenna with more albums, videos, and links.

Listen to alt-country music by singer/songwriter Justin Rutledge from Toronto. Enjoy his latest album East released last year, which is described like this:
The songs on East see Justin embracing new styles, from the gospel tinged ‘The Great Ascension’, to the lo-fi lament of ‘Queen Street Lost’. Not lost, however, are the country-tinged pop songs like ‘The Old Oak’ and ‘Blue Jeans’. Of course, the hushed voice and the intricate storytelling remain, making East Justin’s most accomplished album to date.
Listen to his latest album.
This is my playlist of his more popular songs.
