This song gives me chills every time I hear it. Never gets old. I believe I can say it’s one of my all-time favorites. 💜

I've been sitting here thinking about Taylor Swift's 'folklore' and the triangle made of James and Betty and summer girl.... and now I'm diving into that album's proverbial big sister. I'm sitting here musing on the triangle of The Balladeer and Guitar Man and the Background Singer. So good.

Grady!

Lori Mckenna >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Taylor Swift

[@mouser003]

Omg everybody should listen to her. Her writing is beyond definition

[@annieplante3081]

This song just blew my mind. It is freakin' BRILLIANT!

[@annieplante3081]

"The Balladeer" The balladeer waits in the wings Tugging on her dress, tuning her strings All her whiskey faded cigarette blown dreams She brings herself to her own knees with every line so delicate She sings every song that she knows The way that she hears 'em, sad and slow They're never gonna play her on the radio So she hangs in the darkest bars with downtrodden bleeding hearts A guitar man there who knew all the chords Said he needed her to help him find the words The balladeer never loved anybody more It was magic but she worried what if she ran out of the pain She carried round with her, so proud She wore it like a queen wears a crown She didn't know who she'd be if she put it down So he brought her to the river where she could wash the trouble From her heart and let it shine like gold Felt like angels pouring mercy on her soul And the weight of the world, she let it go And she sang for the first time with her head held high and so much pride It opened up new notes in her throat There was joy in every new song she wrote They got a bus and traveled coast to coast Drinking with their friends and strangers and business people called to say That she was finally headed for the stars Or at least the top of the charts They changed her clothes and bought fancy cars Till the guitar man caught the eye of a pretty background singer with the blues Oh, oh, oh... The guitar man cried 'cause he done her wrong The background singer took the next flight home And the balladeer wrote herself a song About brokenhearted dreamers who are searching for something they'll never find Mmm, mmm, mmm...

Thanks :)

Lorraine is still my favorite Lori McKenna album but this one looks like it's going to be just as spectacular.

[@danis.4239]

Yes same!

[@danielemarini2169]

As a songwriter myself i have to say Lori's unmatcheable. The balladeer is AOTY.

[@WKUFranko]

Only 26,000 views? Shocked, this is really good stuff. Better than a lot of the pop-country that gets all of the attention.

[@jp-mc2bp]

I have another fave female vocilist . Joins with Linda, Stevie, Pat. Just great

I get chills whenever I hear this song! Love from Brazil

[@cassiemarie8342]

Who do you thank when it’s just you and God..Jesus❤

[@kellyketcham1101]

Oh my! Your talent amazing, as are your poignant lyrics that capture the BLESSINGS, JOYS and EMOTIONS of LOVE, FAMILY and the difficulties, perplexities, and price we pay for love!

[@bigpink3269]

There is an aching lilt in Lori's youthful yearning of the Balladeer... shedding tumble dryed tears from whiskey soaked years as if she were the "Lady Of Guadalupe"... standing statuesque at the Bluebird grieving for the Comets as they burn up under the spotlight while a lone tear trickles down her cheek to the beer soaked floor.

[@BenBigelow3]

This is amazing. Such strength and melody. I can get lost in its timelessness

[@user-qi4wi7rx4x]

Самая крутая песня.

[@jflrck141]

People are obsessing over Folklore but here I am obsessing over The Balladeer. This is the best album of McKenna in my opinion. 👏👏👏

[@sharmar582]

I love this song so much.....keep playing it over and over

[@bobandrayfan1]

A Masterpiece! You've come such a long way. Every album since "Paper Wings and Halo" is proof that your journey, from writing songs at your kitchen table, after you put your kids to bed, to writing with some of Nashville's top songwriters continues to blossom. Thanks for the music Lori! And thanks for the "homemade" cookies that you dropped by at WUMB back in the day. I'll never forget that day. Shine On.

[@patpelton5755]

Love, love, love. My new favorite Lori M song.

[@michaelmurphypigglywiggly8376]

Goosebumps! Love this!

[@deboraliddell1175]

Wow. You did it again. Well done, Lori!

[@alicjar.6662]

Wonderful as always. ✨💛

[@haileygrey5047]

[@ngonzales3987]

I don't know how an album gets better and better each time I listen to it but this one is it.

[@joel-lu2zt]

Love from méxico

[@jamesmurray3614]

As the legendary Bob Harris (BBC -UK) says: 'One of the great songwriters of our time.' I anticipated the new album 'The Balladeer' the same way that I have the most recent from Bruce ('Western Stars') and Dylan ('Rough and Rowdy Ways'). And, of course, I haven't been disappointed; three great albums. There are few people that I have wanted to see live that I haven't yet seen and Lori is one of them. She truly deserves a bigger audience for her own albums and shows. I daydream that sometime Lori will headline her own shows in the UK. I have thought of the support act too -Mark Erelli.

[@jimsoderbom5884]

Mrs. McKenna and team, you have once again amazed! I hope you all forever stay humble, and well kind .....:).
