Lori McKenna joins host Raina Douris

You could say Lori McKenna leads many lives…One as a mom of five, one as a celebrated Nashville songwriter who’s penned tracks for artists like Tim McGraw and Little Big Town, and one as a solo artist making her own music. Lori’s new record, The Balladeer, came out in July, and she joins host Raina Douris today to talk about family and songwriting, and explains how David Letterman inspired the song that anchors the album. Plus, Lori performs some of the new music live.
