Lori McKenna's first cd, and it's wonderful. No learning curve here. Great guitar work right off the bat, and the usual heart tugging lyrics that you know and love. Favorites are Hardly Speaking a Word and (of course) Swallow Me Whole, but every song hits the mark and I like the electric fills by her accompanying musicians. Pieces of Me was the first disc I bought, and I went earlier and later from there. Beautiful singer / songwriter with a charming voice.
