Women are outnumbered 5 to 1 on Songs:Illinois. I’m not sure why that exactly is. But I suspect it has something to do with the ratio of male to female singer songwriters, as well as to my very high standards for what constitutes a good song/artist/album. Kim McMechan passes that test. Her new album is called Paper Sun and was produced by Colin Linden. The song “You Sent Me A Letter” features her lovely vocals and lyrics that tell a story and paint a picture (“doesn’t it seem like a lifetime ago when I crashed your car after that show”).
The new record Paper Sun is available now here.
