Lori McKenna
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008A lot of people think artists are cool. But I actually think only cool artist is cool. There are quite some uninteresting “artists” which muddled the soup a bit. Lori McKenna, as a Boston local musician, as a mother of 5, is very cool.
Here is a sample of her song written and sang by herself. The title is called “unglamorous”. At age 39, she’s just been “discovered” about two years ago. All this time before, she was doing her music as a side thing while raising 5 kids (from 18 to 2), working at a glue factory, married to a plumber. But her talent was discovered. The music video was shot at her home in Stoughton MA. Her coolness shows when she achieved something that’s not easily reachable at that age and when she is very much buried by the burdens of life.
I am not a country music fan, but I am still touched by Lori McKenna’s talent.
