Lori McKenna - Paper Wings & Halo

Paper Wings & Halo was the debut album from Lori McKenna. Released early in 1998 to overwhelming critical acclaim, despite the fact that it was sel-released. A native of the North East, comparisons to another Boston singer-songwriter, Dar Williams, were bound to be made.

McKenna is a powerful singer, and someone with a sharp eye for detail in her songwriting. The mainly acoustic arrangements of the songs on Paper Wings and Halo together with the drive in her vocals have also drawn comparisons with Living With Ghosts from Patty Griffin.

McKenna was to go on from here and release several albums which contained songs that were to be picked up by luminaries of the mainstream country world. This re-release contains three bonus tracks including a live version of the title cut.

Track Listing :

• Mars
• Never Die Young
