McKenna goes deluxe with "1988"
In addition to the record's original 10 songs, the extended edition will also feature acoustic versions of five album tracks: "1988," "Killing Me" featuring Hillary Lindsey, "Wonder Drug," "Happy Children" and "The Town In Your Heart" featuring Hillary Lindsey.
Recorded at Nashville's RCA Studio A, McKenna said, "These songs, as always with me, were written on acoustic guitars and sung over writing room sofas and across kitchen tables. I dreamed of Dave Cobb and the band bringing the electric side out of them as they did on '1988,' but I always knew I would want them represented in their original form. The way the balladeer in me hears all songs, just stripped down. I'm so thankful Dave was willing to go back with me and play them the way they land under my fingers as if they were just written all over again."
Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning producer Dave Cobb (Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell), "1988" is named for the year McKenna married her husband, Gene, and serves as a love letter to her family and lifelong friendships as she reflects on the experiences, lessons and relationships from her past 35 years.
