Lori McKenna grew up in Stoughton, Massachusetts, the youngest of six children, and began writing songs in her late teens. She built her career in the Boston folk scene before Nashville took notice, leading to a string of cuts by artists like Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and Little Big Town. Alongside her songwriting for others, McKenna has steadily released her own albums, each one marked by sharp detail and plainspoken storytelling.
The Tree, McKenna’s eleventh studio album, is a collection of songs about family, memory, and the passage of time. Her voice is clear and unadorned, carrying lyrics that capture everyday moments and the ties that hold people together. The production stays close to the heart of each song, built on acoustic guitar, light percussion, and just enough electric texture to add depth. It is honest writing from an artist with a steady hand and a sure sense of purpose.
