Carrie Newcomer - My True Name (1998/2019)

Carrie Newcomer's fifth album for Philo finds her songwriting talents firing on all cylinders with delightful results. While there's material on My True Name that could easily fit on country radio ("I Should've Known Better," "What Kind of Love Is This," "Something Worth Fighting For"), there are other tunes like "This Long" and "When One Door Closes" that push the musical boundaries further than any of her previous outings. Other highlights include "One Good Turn," "The Length of My Arms," "The Moon over Tuscon" and the title track.
