Michigan songwriter Rachel Brooke has long been known as “The Rattlesnake” for lyrics that pack a venomous punch, but on This One’s For You she sheds her skin to deliver a poignant, but direct collection of classic country missives with modern flare.
This retro modern approach sees Brooke ruminating on everything from a yearning for home to the state of the music industry with character-driven storytelling that blurs the lines between imagination and reality. A prime example of this comes on the album’s title track, a yodeling anthem that has the singer fixated on the music industry grind and how emerging technology like artificial intelligence will never have a place in her songs.
