The Unglamorous Lori McKenna

Posted by: gretchen on August 15, 2007 | 3 Comments

I just happened to catch an interview with Lori McKenna on ABC News Nightline. What an amazing story she had to tell! She is a mother of five from Stoughton, Massachussetts who was discovered by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Lori has written several hit songs for Faith Hill and has just released her first album called “Unglamorous.” Her songs are mostly about family life and women’s struggles such as marriage and growing older. A couple of Lori’s biggest hits to date are “Fireflies” and “Stealing Kisses” which were recorded by Faith Hill in 2005.

I have been a big fan of her music since her debut on Oprah well over a year ago. The interview was fantastic, portraying Lori as a down-to-earth mom who still lives in her home town with her high school sweetheart and drives a mini-van. In fact, she says she LOVES her mini-van. (Hmm, not so sure about that, Lori, but I guess with that many kids you need one.) ;)

Here is another great interview of Lori McKenna (with some tidbits of “Unglamorous” mixed in): Read more

Although I posted the lyrics to Shania Twain’s “She’s not just a pretty face” last year, reader Janice sent me a link to really nice youtube clip of the song and said “It’s a perfect Girls Can’t What? theme song!”

Love it. Thanks Janice! :x
