Boston-based singer-songwriter Lori McKenna famously didn't begin her career in earnest until the age of 27. Following a pair of under-the-radar albums of gentle country-tinged folk-pop, McKenna saw three of her songs picked up and recorded by none other than Faith Hill for her hugely successful 2005 album FIREFLIES. A major-label recording contract, an appearance on OPRAH, and a tour with Hill and her husband, Tim McGraw, soon followed, making McKenna perhaps the most in-demand stay-at-home mom in America. Her major label debut, UNGLAMOROUS, was released in 2007.

She also has a gift for detailed storytelling..." Title NoteLori McKenna's career was comfortably on the fringe of the folkie singer-songwriter scene until Faith Hill covered several of her songs and began talking up the unassuming New Englander on television interviews. Signing to a major label and accepting help from Nashville hitmakers like songwriter Liz Rose (who co-wrote the title song) and Hill's husband, Tim McGraw (who co-produced the album), gives UNGLAMOROUS a more glossy, radio-friendly sound. However, McKenna's strength of personality shines through: rather than adopting a new persona, she stays true to her own life as a low-key, middle-class housewife and mother who happens to write and record hit songs. Tunes like "Witness To Your Life," "I Know You," and "Your Next Lover" are fine additions to McKenna's canon, and on the quietly intense autobiographical closer, "Leaving This Life," about her mother's death, she reveals more naked emotion than a whole publishing company full of Music Row songwriters.
