Lori McKenna is a mother of five from Stoughton, Mass. (pop. 27,000), about 20 miles outside Boston. There, she lives quietly—well, as quietly as a house with five children can get—with her husband of 18 years, Gene, a plumber for the local gas company. For years she drove her kids to school in a 1999 Ford Windstar minivan with 150,000 miles on it. It is fitting Lori entitled her Warner Bros. debut album Unglamorous.

McKenna’s new album is actually her fifth, after the independently released Paper Wings & Halo (1998), Pieces of Me (2001), The Kitchen Tapes (2003), and Bittertown (2004). Bittertown features the original renditions of two songs Hill covered on Fireflies (“If You Ask” and “Stealing Kisses”), along with “Bible Song,” which country star Sara Evans recorded for her album Real Fine Place. Bittertown paints a detailed picture of the oft-hidden complexities of day-to-day life in a small town. “One reviewer said it was about the complications of an uncomplicated life, which I thought was really perfect,” McKenna says.

Now it’s time for the original voice of Hill’s songs to be heard. “My priority is, I want to write great songs, timeless songs, songs that affect people,” McKenna says. “But if I have the blessing to be able to share the way I interpret my songs with people, then I want to do that, too.”
