Michigan based singer/songwriter Rachel Brooke returns with a brand new album The Loneliness in Me via MAL Records out today 23rd Oct. 
Recorded in Traverse City, Michigan and mastered at Detroit’s recently launched Third Man Mastering, the 12 track album oozes with alluring captivity in reproducing classic country mixed with 21st-century tales and tunes. Capturing the surrounded world around of loss, longing, melancholy and reminiscence. Kicking off with the reflective“ It Ain’t Over ‘Till You’re Crying,” regretful “Great Mistake,” to title track “The Loneliness in Me,” capturing, Brooke’s so far journey in music from starting out in a bluegrass band with her father, experimental punk to gothic Americana while “Picture in The Wall” takes a listener back the sounds of country classic songs of the likes of Junior Brown, Dick Curless.



Meanwhile, “The Lovells Stockade Blues” reflects on Brooke’s current hometown Lovells, Michigan, a town with a population no big than 1,000 people, consisting of a supermarket, gas station and small buildings all around. Brooke serenades the tune with her haunting voice singing of the long winters and slow-paced atmosphere. “Awful Part of Me” sets out with a beautiful string arrangement somewhat reminiscing the 1970’s Nashville Sound with a twist of Outlaw scene interwind in between. 
The album comes to an end with the emotional timelapse “I Miss it Like It’s Gone,” that is open for interpretation, where listeners themselves can interpret the song as wanting, paving out the way of the so far taken journey in life. 
​

Rachel Brooke is not just another singer/songwriter in the vastly growing world of Americana. Instead, she’s one of the artists reshaping the Americana sound with a voice that falls under Kay Adams and contemporaries like Sunny Sweeney while songs that’ll make both Bobby Braddock and Willie Nelson jealous. Rachel Brooke is a country music revivalist. ​​
