132: Rachel Brooke
from New Slang Hosted by Thomas Mooney, Rachel Brooke
Send us Fan Mail On Episode 132, I'm joined by Michigan singer-songwriter Rachel Brooke. Brooke just released the excellent country standout The Loneliness in Me this past Friday. Full of high and lonesome, Brooke delivers on the 12-song collection with velvety vocals that gently sway to and fro as pedal steel warbles in response. Much of The Loneliness in Me harkens back to the golden era of country music as it takes cues from the likes of Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and George Jones. By all means, Brooke is a prolific country crooner as she sings hurt so good heartbreaker ballads and charming numbers that capture her wit and humor. During this interview, we talk about the recording and writing of the Loneliness in Me, balancing heartache and humor, how to wrangle in a wandering imagination and mind, tempering anxieties, the country music industry, eating tomatoes, true-crime stories, and taking advantage of time in the midst of a pandemic. This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol. In addition, this episode is sponsored by WYLD Gallery and The Blue Light Live.
