Lori McKenna's The Bird & The Rifle is a masterful collection from one of contemporary folk and country’s most celebrated voices. Produced by Dave Cobb and released in 2016 on Thirty Tigers, the album received critical acclaim for its heartfelt storytelling and resonant melodies, with AllMusic hailing it as “another extremely strong effort” and NPR naming it one of the year’s best releases.
This album is rich with mid-tempo tracks that showcase McKenna’s lyrical sensitivity, including the bittersweet title song, the gently poignant “If Whiskey Were a Woman,” and her own honest rendition of “Humble & Kind.” Thoughtful and human, The Bird & The Rifle stands out as an essential listen for anyone who values evocative songwriting and authentic Americana sound.
